Sure I've got a ve international with an Aussie LY7, I still show it, otr from orrsom pacemakers, a tidy up, catch can etc shows a standard Mr boring can clean up nicely. Especially with subtle exterior upgrades that doesn't scream I have no taste and too much time and money hahaha I wish that was me. Guaranteed, there's always someone that's got that or had that or knows a cousins sister's brother's former roommate had one and can give out little bits of advice, car people or Rev heads are my people.

    The hinges don't break,spray them with carby cleaner to clean them, then use spray grease to lube them,can be done on car but probably better to take them off,you need to work the hinges up and down to work the cleaner and lube into the joints, have repaired heaps of them this way ,never had to replace a hinge ever,if you can submerge them in parts cleaner and work the hinges its even better

    I am an electrician by trade & I will tell you that a good starting point is to have both the 3.8 litre Buick L36 Ecotec & the Supercharged L67 V6 wiring diagrams so that you can marry both of the looms together. I did that in my VL Commodore 22 years ago when I built a Nissan RB30DE engine for it, I didn't need much of the VL side because it was in the Gregorys manual that we have but I needed to obtain a copy of the Nissan R32/R33 Skyline GTS wiring diagram because I used the RB25DE ECU & loom from a 1995 Nissan R33 Skyline GTS. There wasn't much involved in grafting it into the Holden loom (it was actually made by Holden, not Nissan) such as the fuel pump & ignition relay coil supply & because I grafted what was needed including the start signal from the starter motor solenoid terminal, the inline resistor for the Nissan RB30E ECU was given the snip because it was dropping the voltage to the R33 Skyline GTS ECU which was making the engine harder to start. Other gear includes a soldering iron, wire cutters/strippers, solder, heat shrink tubing,a multimeter for continuity testing & a heat gun, not to forget the electrical tape & conduit. A lot of the wires I didn't use because the wiring harness came from an automatic car & mine is a manual car,all of the engine management sensor connectors for the R33 Skyline GTS were retained because they were different to the Nissan RB30E connectors plus the twin cam cylinder head didn't have a provision for a distributor !

    GM product. It's so odd to see rebadged US cars in different countries. Blows my mind. Apparently, they were faster than our Pontiacs too. We all knew the body was designed in Australia when released; it looked so weird ― far too round after Pontiac's previous Trans-Am. The reason is that Australin Michael Simcoe is GM's Global Design Chief. He is also partly to blame for GM's huge shift to all-electric; while the Japs are working on hydrogen powered V8s ―Yamaha. Which I think was a better decision because of infrastructure and conversion capabilities.

Doing something you love that pays the bills is awesome. I’d say one of the the reason your videos are so watchable is because you come across as very genuine and honest. Best of luck.

    I have the WL Stato 3.6, will do 1,000 km' on a tank 😮. Some faux woodgrain, paddle shift, that I don't use cause I can't hear the engine due to 5 stainless mufflers after the cats (still original) and premium 11 speaker sound system. At 230k km's it should be due for cam chains, even have the parts, replaced thermostat at rear of engine using mirrors. We all want power but 190 KW gets it going good enough, like driving a cloud. The low outer driving light's come with the indicators, computer allows for alot of adjusting like save your speakers if too much bass or window's go up at 120 kph. Saw the Arab drifters throwing the V8's at 240 kph😂.

    Hey Deacon quick question not sure if you will read this but. Is a 3800 ecotec v6, vt or vs alright for a first car, my old man says just stick with a 4cyl but i cant convince him even though his first car was a gts 350 in the 80s 😂. I reckon the 6 is fuel efficent enough, and I know the engine is pretty reliable as well and what kms would be your max

    These were the last of the Ian Callum designed commodores , these and the utes are obviously derived from Ian's designs. The WL was in my opinion the most sorted and refined since the VT which started it all in that body shape. The one to look for is the 6ltr. Very rare as they were built toward the end of the WL run. My pick would be the HSV Grange 6ltr...if you can find one and be prepared to pay for it too.
