@@efxr6538 gotta love the 90’s Aussie cars 🤙🏼

@garage8083 yes! Love the 90s Falcons and Commodores!

@@racoben4153 thanks for the feedback mate.. I’m terrible at filming everything.. I start working and forget to film 😂

@@_E3N_ nothing wrong with them. I just want a different look, something that will show more of the brakes that I’ve just detailed!

@@garage8083 yea makes sense you have a nice car

Yep, i loved these when they first came out.

@garage8083 same

@@CodyRyan-x2j hey mate.. I’ve seen you around down south. Sucks about the defect, what was it for? When I had the car there wasn’t much that was wrong with it apart from the height being defectable

@@garage8083 was for the Exessive noise and no muffler and as I got sent to regency I had to take the coils out

@@CodyRyan-x2j Fair enough, but actually didn’t think it was overly load.. I’ve certainly had louder cars in the past..

@@garage8083 yeh I got unlucky I was in the York peninsula in a very quiet town

@@CodyRyan-x2j well despite the defect mate, I hope you enjoy the car I spent a bit of time trying to make sure it was in decent condition. I did a motor swap, all the brakes, wheels tyres, some paint work etc and thought it was a decent car in the end

@@peterepeat7066 thanks for watching mate. Unfortunately the shop I used to go to has closed so.now I just hunt online for parts etc..Scooter Street has a lot of performance parts for a Jolie or search for dd50 parts

@@garage8083 scooter street is a rip off

They’re good cars, easy to work on and plenty of parts available. Have fun fixing yours up 🤙🏼

Made it myself by cutting up and old grill and plastic welding in new plastic mesh and then painted it

It is mate.. was just built as a cruiser

Thanks bro.. appreciate the comment and support 🤙🏼

I didn’t keep a very good track of what I spent on it. But as a rough estimate I would say I spent about 2k on everything not including buying the car. I got most stuff second hand and did everything myself apart from the exhaust to save money.

Thanks 🙏… really appreciate the support 🤙🏼

Awesome… get stuck in and make it something to be proud of 🤙🏼

@@garage8083 yea I'm so keep I ask her every day if I can have it so it's not mine yet I gotta get my licence then I can have it but I'm so excited to own it

Thanks Legend!! Appreciate it !

Awesome.. good luck with your build! Mine has standard struts with pedders springs but 20” rims are only 8” wide and with the offset of them they fit perfectly… I believe you can get some struts that are slimmer specifically to fit bigger rims or coilovers would be the other option

Thanks guys.. appreciate the support 🤙🏼

I wasn’t sure how it would go without the Venturi but really wasn’t keen to cut open the tank either.. Guess I might have to revisit this or just keep the tank above half full all the time.. such a crap design on these tanks!

I caught covid last week which has slowed me up a bit.. but managed to get some work done today. Just more maintenance stuff. Ie changing diff oil and fixing up the leaks on the diff.. Can’t wait to feel better to get stuck in again 👍

That’s with one coil taken off the rear lowered springs.. about 1cm lower and Id say it’s perfect.. but it will drop more once it has all the parts fitted so don’t want to cut any more of the springs!

Thanks.. super happy to have it running again

I wasn’t sure if they would be available but my local Supercheap had them on the shelf (with lots of dust) ready to go 🤙🏼 Pretty sure the badge is from the dash (good guess).. before I painted the dash I filled the badge hole in

There is a really good car culture in SA.. super helpful and friendly bunch of people!! 👌

Gotta try and keep the cars alive and all the old parts help.. that saying someone’s trash is someone else’s treasure is right on 👌

Can do!! I skipped the taping up on this video to try and make sure it wasn’t too long.. but can do that when we paint the rest of the underbelly 🤙🏼

I recall driving an l67 Monaro years ago and being really disappointed with the performance too.. so ended up buying a wrx.. I think I’ll just make this car look decent for cruising.. and if I decide to upgrade I’ll look at options such as a Barra or an LS etc

Apart from my wife’s car and a wrx I’ve had I’ve always run chopped springs and never had an issue (apart from some defects for too low)… can’t beat being able to lower a car for the cost of a cutting disc 😂

That’s crazy… I would have thoughts 15k - 20k max…

Based on this you could resell yours for a million dollars 👌

If it’s not a typo it’s seriously craazy.. and if it sells I’m about to start buying a whole heap of xf’s 😂

Yea rito go find one if ya can no ,1 bading

Thanks mate… wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to do with the bump stops but I had heard you can swap for sedan/wagon ones etc.. so will likely do this🤙🏼

@garage8083 yeah mine is sacked hard barely got 50mm of travel before it taps metal bracket. Not yet found time to do mine yet.

@@ShaunDavis-jl6fr I have looked at bagging this car too.. but without some chassis mods I wont be able to get it as low as I would ideally like.. So will more than likely end up just on low springs and some cut down bump stops.

Thanks Buddy.. appreciate the encouragement!

Haha… only a couple of feet 😂… certainly won’t keep it like that

Close 95 VS.. manual v6 (currently) but a conversation is on the cards

Nice!! Exactly the same as my other build at the moment.. what have you got planned for yours?

Thanks mate.. The bonnet that the car came with had a few dents and I found this one at a good price so decided to swap it over. I had a passing thought about doing a turbo conversion but never seriously considered it so the bonnet was more about just the look.

That might be why I like it.. reminds me of hours of paint prep.. but at least this primer is shiny 😝

Awesome.. thanks appreciate it 🤙🏼

Nice choice!! They look good on a VG, VR or VS
