1979 Holden Commodore SL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Gutsy looking, mean machine! or petrol eater!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am not sure on what has gone wrong with the car, as I have just bought it today!
I do know that the driver's seat has worn quite badly, as you would expect from something that age.
And there is rust at the bottom of the firewall, I have not seen it, but that is what the guy said. There is also rust behind the back door's at the bottem and on the other side.
Nothing too dramatic, I suppose I wouldn't have bought it if it was! lol.
General comments?
I love the look of it, it has been professionally lowered with 'k-tek' shocks and springs, (I think its K-tek, something like that) 2 and a half inch exhaust, sound's mean!!!
I'll update this as soon as I find out more stuff.
