hey all i will most proberly have a budget of say 5 ooo and want to buy either a lj torana 4 or 2 door or an vh commodore 202 with blue velour interior so an SLE VH hopefully two tonne if i can get it. Im not sure what to get and all i want to do is momo steering wheel, lowered exhaust just something neat and clean to get around in. what do you think i should do buy or how much would this cost any input would be good thanxs guys and girls Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'd get the Vh but if your after a SLE most of them came with 4.2 Ltr V8.

Go the SLE mate. They are a beautiful car when done properly. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah thats it the SLE with a 253 would be good and do up real nice

build something sick bro - so you pick up some chicks you drag on the streets just joshin ya! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Show: VH SL/E full leather retrim in dark grey's and purple a/m steering wheel new black carpet limo tint windows VS calais rear seats VS SS front seats VK Digital Dash Dark Purple paint job with extra purple pearl. Shaved door locks and boot lock Remote start and central locking, turbo timer Dumped with either Kings super lows, or more preferably ultra lows on some Simmons FR18's or dragways of some sort. MORE preferably dumped with airbags. Go: Injected 308 bored & stroked (probably 355 or 383) twin T3s (off Z32 300ZX), possibly hi-flo'd A/M heads bigger injectors, fuel pump, etc nice intercooler slightly more aggressive cam (still keep the low down, but let her breathe a bit more upstairs) extractors twin 3" exhaust LSD (Probably have to opt Ford 9") Some sort of brake upgrade (I dont know what's available for the VH) (alternatively you could go a VH45DE, which would be my choice) ICE: 2 x 12" Subs in the boot 6" in the parcel shelf Splits in the front doors 4" in the vent-speaker spots MP3/CD head unit LCD Screen w/ TV/DVD capabilities... That's what I'd do anyway.

Oh, and you'd probably want a budget of a bit more than $50,000 for that. For $5k: VH SL/E 253, no mods. twin 2.5" exhaust. tint. Home respray job. dumped with "Oxytorch" brand springs on steelies. Aforementioned stereo (minus LCD screen/dvd/tv) using second hand stuff. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanxs dude for now it will be vh sle 253 in hopefully two tonne if i want it sprayed my dad could paint it my gf is a mechanic so i can get extractors exhaust dumped on the 15inch polished sle rims and i got kenwood splits 6x9's headunit and amp that will go in and get sports steering wheel and could put momo 17inch rims on it up front and ceptors in silver on da back see how we go bu thats really all i could do for now

hahaha vlt dreamer lol yeah i should huh but dont think misses would agree with it lol :P

you could probably pick up a 5lt vh sle for about or under 5k in Vic, will need a bit of work (tidy up, etc..)

thanxs for ur input bro Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nah, get a HB torana. The original and the best. Stick a standard 350 chev and auto in (with a bit of firewall modifications) and it would be a cheap goer

Stick a standard 350 chev and auto in (with a bit of firewall modifications) and it would be a cheap goer mmmmmmmm 20 years back there was a white HB with a 350 fitted. Fetured in Street Machine. Top Nitro VL Funny Car. Now theres a project.

Even though i drive a commodore, i reckon you should go for the LJ. Commodores are everywhere, nothin beats the looks you get in an old skool car like an LJ. Il be selling my VL soon and goin back to old skool. Nothing beats the looks, and the feel of one, they stand out alot more and have that more of an individual look than your run-of-the-mill commodore. For $5K you will be able to get a decent LJ with a 6 in it This is why LJ's will always look so much tougher than a commodore Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The average LJ does not (IMO) look any tougher than a VH (probably the toughest looking commodore ever). The VH was the last of the true aussie muscle cars (VK onwards lost the chrome and the heart ) and the only reason that LJ looks so mental is cause its supercharged AND twin turbo'd, ofcourse it'd look tough. Compare it to Eddie Tassone's VH though and I reckon Eddie's comes out on top. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Compare it to Eddie Tassone's VH though and I reckon Eddie's comes out on top. Yea true, Eddies car is tough. But when you put an LJ with a 350 in it, next to a VH, the LJ will look tougher, the VH will always be looked at as another run-of-the-mill commodore. A good way too see the difference is the money they both pull. Commodores dont hold their value at all, coz everyone owns one, LJ's hold their value very well because they are more sought after. Thats why i chose the LJ, coz they are alot rarer to see on the street than a commodore. Thats why im thinking of selling my commodore, id rather have something different, something that not everyone owns Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hmmmm u make some good points got me thinking now Lj's are cool my dad has had a few of them so id like to do one up hmmm now im all confused an LJ with a 308 in it very nice light and qwik or a vh sle 253 hmmm :S:S
