will i ever own a ford??

[WIKIDSTIX]

well the tally is rising..

3 holdens, 1 toyota and 0 fords. :( whats wrong with me.. i think im crazy lol

the latest being this vs commodore, panther mica spac, genuine vy ss 18" mags, 170,000k's, feII/ pedders suspension, lukey exhaust








i bought it off a mate, who just needed to get rid of it, (doesnt know anything about cars aswell), regestered, $2500 and $100 for the altezzas (which only suit it coz its a black car). so yeh, i have to get a rear bumper, 1 new mag, do the panel damage, and the side skirt damage, paint and yeh. i wanna convert it to 5sp, and maybe get an lsd. theres no diff damage, or anything, its just body so im laughing

my plan after this is to build a rally mk2 escort or an offroad buggy.

i cant stand the thought of crossing over to a commodore forum :gren:

OWNED!!!

[Smoke Pursuit]

Its a nice looking car, from the front atleast.

I reckon the VS Commies were the best made.

[Psycho Chicken]

Hmmmm running into them is one way to tell the owner the tail lights look like poo.

[WIKIDSTIX]

well ive still got the original tail lights so its all good.

[Rodp]

Those altezza's suit that car? While I hate altezza's on any car, I *especially* hate them on Commodores. You paid $500 too much for them.

[klawsterfobik]

Well i think it looks good, and agree with the Altezza's on black car statement.

Congratulations on the purchase, and if you can do the panel work yourself then your set.

[The Mighty Red]

For what you paid it looks like a good buy, Even if it is a *&%^$%# #@*^&$# holden ,

[Melz]

Yes.. yes you are crazy!!! But good luck with the car anyway! (you'll buy a ford and never look back, especially after owning a holden!! hehe)

[Kryton]

for the price you cant complain. fix it up, whack $8000 on it and rake in the dollars.
anyway, at the end of the day, it beats walking

[WIKIDSTIX]

lol chears for the replys fellas, ive got blue blood, i just know it. lol

i think im gonna have to de-badge it tho



atleast mine doesnt look like these hahahaha

[benXaGt]

Sucked in Matt lol

Nah good score Dan i reakon its good(i saw it today the extent of the damage very fixable).Keep the altezzas. I like the VS's over whatever ford had at the time im not a fan of the e'series falcon BTW im not a dedicated ford man i like all cars. So yeah get it fixed up and you will be laugfing.

cheers Ben (dans bro)

[Shonky]

Hahaha! Those 2 commys look absolutely SHlT!

[dogbreath_48]

Good stuff, looks like a great buy for the money!
If you get over it i'll give you what you payed for it...but you can keep your altezza's....

-Stu

[loxxr6]

The actual Godfather pic up close(on the dark vr/vs?) doesn't look too bad. I remember seeing it at Summernats. From that distance it looks bad.

I agree with you but not just because they're Commodores. There's obviously a lot of work gone into that airbrushing but its certainly not my taste.

If you stop buying holdens...then you can buy a Ford...wake up you count not your so called mates.

[WIKIDSTIX]

he needed to get rid of it, so i bought it at a good price.. cheaper than what he wanted.. not really to help him out, just because it was a bargain.

how am i not getting my moneys worth? thats a bloody good price mate.

"hence you count not your mates...wake up" thats the part im not getting.. can someone translate this for me

[MO]

For the money you spent you could've got a Ford....capiche!!!!

[Ryan]

Hehehe UAH-OON lives near me.

Do what you want man but I would keep the VS and throw a injected 304 in it.

[Dave_au]

Don't worry about the blue bloods mate, I'm sure the car will serve its purpose, and although even I hate the 3.8 with a passion, you'll still get a few more km out of it.

And never fear, if all else fails then there is always www.ls1.com.au :P

As for the rear bar have a look at http://www.ozeparts.com.au/ , you can pick one up for $215.

LOL dude ur weird

[rick69]

Great buy!! Looks like a bargain for $2500! Have you got a quote for the panel damage yet? Shouldn't be too much I reckon..
Definitely get rid of those altezzas, they are terrible. If it were up to me I would make them illegal.
Anyhow,don't listen to some of the dribble on here... the VS is a good car, enjoy it._2:

By the look of the car $2500 is a bargain, I do agree lose the ricer lamps.

As for the "dribble on here" rick69 you would have to be one of the major contributors. Its a VS hardly a thing to behold. And yes before you ask I have clocked up 50,000 plus of ecotec misery in one. Despite that I'd say wikid_sticks got a bargain.

[Damo]

yeah bloody cheap for a VS, why did your 'mate' let it go soo cheap ?

That other thread of yours about 'how to beat a VS on budget' you contradict yourself 10x over. lol. The tail lights are horrible.
