Well you would not believe it... Dad has taken 3 days off for annual leave so that means in the next 2 days, Me and Dad are gonna have some fun with Ollie. We were originally meant to get my Sister a Muffler for her Holden Apollo (Toyota Camry) which we got for $35 a Pinch-a-Part Campbellfield. Then I asked Dad if we could go look around Campbellfield for a Wreckers that could have a Ke36/38 in it, and we spotted a Wreckers in a back street somewhere in Campbellfield (can't remember the name of it) which had a Ke36 Corolla Panelvan in it. We walked in and asked the Owner of the Wreckers if the Panelvan had a Tailgate on it, and if so, how much he would take for it. He said at first $120. So we looked at the Panelvan's Tailgate and we saw dents on it. Dad said that he could straighten the dents out hassle free. And the best bit was, IT WAS RUST FREE!! So we went back to the Owner and Dad said to him that the Tailgate had dents in it. Then he mentioned that it was for my Panelvan. We convinced him to drop the price down to $80. So we went home, picked up my Grandfather's (Rufus) Gay Ford Wagon (Sorry Poppa) and 45 minutes later, it's in our garage. We also got a Dash Mat in Almost New Condition, and a Black-Out (with a Toyota Symbol on it) for where the Clock goes, both for an extra $20. We will get Pics up when the Tailgate is on Ollie, and also one of the Black-Out with the Toyota Symbol in the Fascia. Cheers, Woz & Josh :wink:

That line was so funny I just had to put that in my Signature.. I liked the way it sounded and the way it went down the 1/4. Top Job. Josh :lol:

Yep. That's true. I agree.

The Merc looks Mafia mate. All you need now is Tinted Tailights, Black in Colour, and some 22s to top it off. Josh :lol:

Our Username ID is ewt308. I don't think it was sent through via PM, I tried to post something and it wouldn't let me.

Nice XR Matt. I'd leave the 289 in there. You could Work it, and put like a B&M Under-the-Bonnet Blower on it. Restore it to it's originality and then you'll have there a really nice XR cruiser. Josh :lol:

I was just reading Street Machine August '08 and spotted this photo on the 1st page of "On Any Sunday". Nice Torrie by the way. I've always loved the LJ's. Josh :lol:

Well No update apart from Josh bustin my knackers to paint it , i just want to locate a tailgate before i paint ollie so stay tunned this project is gonna be on the move again soon as the weather gets good Woz

I'm gonna be painting Ollie "Poison Ivy" Green as well, but it's the task of finding a Paint Shop that would mix the colour. I'm also gonna have to visit Holden with Dad and find a Commodore in "Poison Ivy" Green and take a look at the Paint Code stamped on the ID Tag. It's comin' along nicely Ryan. Josh :jamie:

WOW!! Lovin' the van Mate. Top Job. Josh :lol:

+1 :P

That's a Ke25 you have there mate. Can't wait to see the end result, especially with the 20v 4age in stuffed between the Strut Towers. Josh :)

The 1jz-gte and Rb20det are Very High-Powered 6-Pot engines for a Ke36. There might be a slight chance of getting it engineered with one of those engines. To engineer a Supra 6 or a Skyline 6, you will need to do a brake upgrade, get a suitable suspension package, get a strengthened chassis, properly fitted 1jz-gte or Rb20det + Gearbox, and all of the other things you'll need to do to engineer it. A 3s-gte or an Sr20det are a pretty decent upgrade. You'll only need to do the above listed, except for getting a strengthened chassis. Josh :)

That's a nice Ke15 you have there mate. I really like the Flare Job. It stands out well from what I can see in the Pics. Cheers, Josh :)

Then maybe a Fully Worked 3S-GTE with Upgraded Cams, Turbo, Intercooler, the Works. But you'll have to convert to RWD tho...

Thanks mate. Josh :)

The W56 is a good choice Matt. Just make sure that this one doesn't Cark it on ya. Josh.

Lookin' Nice mate. It comin' along well. Josh :)

What about an HSV LS3? Or maybe an SS L98 with Head work?

Yeah. Thanks mate. We are a Holden Family. As mentioned previously (somewhere in this thread), we have a VT S-Pac and a VZ Berlina. Josh :)

Then maybe a T50?

Oh... Then maybe an upgrade to a K50 :)

That's not good Matt. You should probably down-grade to the ol' 4-Speed K40 :laff: Josh :)

Any updates mate?

I was trying to post a comment of this on CalaisTurbo the other day but it wouldn't let me. Nice VL by the way. Josh :)
