1983 Holden Commodore VH SLE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car, but you need $$$ to keep it awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some electrics faulty (trip computer).
Replaced front rotors.
Fried a starter motor.
Major oil leaks, the worst being a harmonic balancer seal, ever seen a black engine bay before?
General comments?
Apart from the leaks the car runs like a dream.
Runs high 13's over the 1/4.
Has an awesome suspension setup, I like to call it the low rider.
The interior is immaculate, full velour, and the power windows keep everyone amused.
