Always been a fan of the VK's. Top notch ride man.

[carbonboy]

Wow, she certainly changed a lot in your hands! :o

 

IMO the VK is the 'toughest' looking of all the Commodores, given a late models heart & future mods, even more so! :y:

 

I see you've done the same thing I have with receipts, kept them but not added them up to avoid sudden heart failure! :wink: :laff:

Very nice. Bit of a fan of the VK's. I've had 2. An EFI 202 and an ex Alice Springs cop car with HDT fiddled 5.0.

Much of a hassle to get the LS1 in there?.

I think I've seen that number plate somewhere, has Dor1E been in Street Commodores ?.

thanks guys yeh she was in street commodores in 2009 i really need to stop spending money on my rollas and get her finished i miss the brute force of a v8 and also plan to bolt a whipple to her so will only add to the thrill. iv got a mate that made the engine mounts for me and also making me the gearbox crossmember and few other goodies.
