"Nice car, go get one!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Seals have rusted away.

Boot has bad rust.

A little rust here and there.

Bonnet catch hanging on the floor.

Rear drivers side door, central locking doesn't work.

Left front indicator smashed.

General comments?

Definitely worth the money.

I'm fixing up the rust.

Real nippy.

I have only ever owned Holdens.

HOLDENS RULE!!!

I CAN'T believe that you have only ever owned Holdens.

Please do yourself a favour and try something which every person in Australia does not have a version of.

Kind Regards.

James and Vaughan.

Holdens are cool, I have a VL Commodore Berlina 5 speed and it is sick, a very fast car for what size engine it is. I raced a VN and VP Commodore and beat both of them so I'm very happy with the performance of this car. Thank god for the Nissan rb30 3 litre engine and that good old 5 speed. All I have is a 2.5 inch exhuast and a K&N air filter, that's it.

Yeh I got a Vl with extractors and luckey 2.5 system with auto. I raced a Vr with cold air intake and got beat. The next day I found out that my throttle cable had too much slack and titened it and raced that car again and pumped it. GO THE 3lt's.

I have a vl commodore 1986 RB30 motor, high tech headers with a 2.5 in lukey system, fresh cherry red paint and 17inch chromes,$2,000 worth of alpine gear,2 OBX bucket seats, new black plush pile carpet, K&N Pod filter. The motor's clock has stopped at 250,000 and have done about 100,000k's more since then and still draging off , vs, vn, vp v6's.I plan to put a injected enhanced 5litre.It goes to show the Rb30's are hard as rock and are unbreakable I would recommend this for anyone. Peace out 1_sik_leb.
