Hey all, been a member on here for a while and thought why not throw some pics of my commodore up here since a few were spotted in TEMPAs thread.... She started life as a standard VB Commodore with no options and a vinyl interior and was originally painted atlantis blue, that same car is the one my parents owned secondhand from 1982 - 1999. Anyways, car has been resprayed, with a new everything just about being added and had power steering and air con fitted when she was a 202, although air con had to give way when the V6 went in as the budget didnt cover it Although its taken along time its now at a level where im happy with it and i see it as something to be proud of. Anyways enough of the crap enjoy the pics and specs Name: Dave Model: 1979 VB Commodore Colour: Custom Blue Mix Bodykit: Nil Engine Type: Buick 3.8lt V6 Engine Mods: Stock ATM Power: 125kw at the fly Exhaust: Shortened VN Exhaust modded to fit and a hotdog Gearbox: 4 speed automatic t700 Diff: VL V8 diff with 3.45s Brakes: Disc all round, slotteds on front Suspension: Lowered, King Springs, monroe shocks etc... Wheels/Tyres: Was on Interceptors/VY S1 hubcaps then got the SL/E 15s blasted clean, and finally went to 18" VX R8s Interior: Complete VH SL/E S2 Interior Other Mods: Tinted windows etc.. Stereo: Big enough. Build Period: Long time... small bits here and there... Cost: lost count Contacts: Thanks go out to dad for all his help with this whole build Future Mods: get some money in the bank and go from there... When it was on VY caps Engine Bay Interior Lowered on sssl's on 15's New Wheels VK Mirrors Ive since shined these up as they were quite dull straight outta the box! Venetians Nolathane sticker is long gone was just as a bit of a laugh.... Hope you like the ol' girl Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
