1983 Holden Commodore VH SL/X review from Australia and New Zealand
"Biggest bargain on earth, cost me $700 and it's basically flawless"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car leaked water, easily fixed.
Thermostat was jammed, removed it.
Starter motor warn, replaced.
General comments?
This is one awesome car I intend to do up and keep forever.
The 202 has tonnes of power since I chucked on the ported torquer manifold and Holley 425 2 barrel I outrun vt's now.
The interior looks and feels great.
The exterior looks awesome and the back end is SL/E with a spoiler and the car has side skirts.
