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.

- Geoffrow.
