G'day, just a post to introduce myself as a new member...
My mane is Daniel, and I am 28 years of age and I work for Toyota Material Handling Australia's corporate head office in Moorebank NSW.
I am currently in the process of restoring an old VL commodore, I will post up pics soon...
She is an old executive which was neglected too much and has now been updated with full calais interior and electrics. What I mean by this is I completely stripped out the interior and installed a full dash and body harness from a series 2 calais including the fuse box. The complete dash has been restored and painted to its original cerulean blue color. I have re-bushed the complete car and changed over the diff for disc brakes. My latest venture is to design custom intake piping system (cold induction) using 3" stainless steel. She is N/A just for those of you who want to know... I have also recently fitted her up with extractors and a hi-flow cat and 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust system, mind you I have to put a rear muffler as she is a little too loud!!
A little bodywork is required so she will be out of commission for a while yet...!! But to give you an idea of the type if vehicle she will be, the idea I have is to have her repainted in the original greyish blue with silver moulds and bumpers, as she is lowered already I will put some nice rubber on some chaser wheels I have with the chrome trimming around them and in the centre. Basically, I am of the old school. I grew up with friends and family who had ex-chaser turbos and V8's and man I tell you, they were the days and I miss those times quite a bit!! Long live the VL's...!!!
Still to this day arguably the best car Holden has ever released and I think its reputation is yet to be challenged...
Well, it is a pleasure to be part of a new club and I look forward to catching up with all of you at some point...
