I’ve been a Ford man since I was a kid but no matter what the make or model you have to like and appreciate the amount of effort and love that anyone puts into a build. This car looks and sounds amazing, nothing beats a father and son combo too. Awesome video Howard, can’t wait to see more just like it. (And some color on BOSSXC)
want be long to see some colour, This thursday
@@AstillDesign Tomorrows the day.
I had a blue over silver series 2 1988 VL Calais, long gone now regrettably. It will always be my favourite car. At the time it was a weird relationship with the car, I got to a point where I’d done so much (stupid stuff) to it that I began to, not neglect it, but I’d get frustrated and give it a hard time. It certainly wasn’t the car becoming unreliable, it was my being young and not knowing better and just buying parts that others were using without knowing really what I was doing. It was quick no doubt, but so poorly done (by me) that it would be on jacks more than the road. Kid I sold it to ironed it out and was so much quicker and bulletproof until he ran out of talent and wrote it off. Glad to see a young bloke doing things right
yes a bit of guidance goes a long way
That blown tailight is such a vl thing .awesome car
So it seems
That VL is absolutely brilliant, very well done
Yes. It’s a credit to them.
Should be proud young fella! 👏
Has done a great job, some extraordinary work for his years so wow well done.. i was flat out doing a 2bbl carby swap around his age. 😄
Yeah, good to see a young bloke getting into the trade.
The most amazing thing is how well fitted, and lined up those bloody plastic trims are!
Helped a mate do a rear VL Calais bumper back in the day....
Was easier to get a home loan!!
It’s the little things that make the difference.
well done young fella ,outstanding work it sure beats my 1st car when i was 18,jammin a 390 into a Ford XM ute was a massive deal for me with a 9 inch and top loader and i had dad there with me helpin me along the way ,tip top looking commodore mate well done
Thanks for sharing
Very nice well done, good to see the young fella doing this instead of the other crap out there, nice job Dad and Son, looking forward to seeing it finished, cool video always watching cheers 🍻🍺🍻🍺KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🇦🇺😎🙂👍
Just won people’s choice at Summernats
@@AstillDesign absolutely awesome results fantastic well done guys cheers KC 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🇦🇺😎🙂👍❤
that is one immaculate car that this young guy has built but even better being able to do it with his dad as well. Good luck for summernats and so good to hear they building a burnout car than destroying this amazing car
Nothing better than family.
I can't resist a little joke about the rear tail light but I,ll be nice. Great to see the youngsters into Australian V8's. Have a good holiday Howard, look forward to 2022
Thanks, mate. Might get a holiday when BOSS XC is finished.
@@AstillDesign Not if I win lotto!
PS: Just realised yu may have thought I was knocking the XC tailight. The joke was the VL rear tail light not working. Been a licensed driver since the 1980's, I remember many VK & VL Holdens with one rear light out.
Yep💯%Ford man here🖒
You would have to appreciate the time and effort the young lad has put into it as it has come up nice and very tidy underneath 👌Ya probably should have stayed in Broken Hill mate more ford blokes around lol.
Wouldn’t have a RUclips channel if I stayed in Broken Hill.
Really do admire the attention to detail and the work done on the car. Well done. The size of the wheels don't do much for me, i'd prefer 19's at most.
Yeah me too, but its not my car.
1000hp! Gosh these things were loose with a tickled NA6 in them!!
Sweet ride 👍
Yes, it ticks most the boxes.
Well built looking weapon. Nice.
It’s a cruise missile.
My calais is almost the same colour, wheels,an scheel seats but a built rb this is mint well done on build
Cheers Matthew
I’m here because I miss my VL turbo Berlina I bought at 16 back in 2000. Being older now with a higher income I’m thinking of doing a project 🤔
Why not! Give it a go
Very well presented car, it’s good and bad when a car cuts across many categories when comes to show judging, but at least it can be used, a bit abused and turn heads without being a trailer queen.
Anyone would be more than proud to have a car of that caliber.
Well said
Im not a commy lover but that car is really nice , 1000hp will definitely do the job too.
Will the headers get swapped out for polished jobs? The black & wrapped looks wrong with the rest of the system
No mate, as he said their all done, and it needs to work on the street
@@AstillDesign yeh right fair enough
As a Ford fanatic I can say with confidence this car is a work of art... just biased, not blind... the only thing I don't like is the lacca bands he has in place of tyres 😋
I think it would be a pretty firm ride.
As a Ford fanatic you didn’t notice an xr8 bonnet?
Wollongong the VL capital of the world 🌍 🤔 * 😂 laughs in Melbourne
😂😂
Milo Kerrigan loves his Holdens!
True
Good video I wish to live closer I’m a blind man like playing on cars live in Newcastle
Thanks mate
Yeah I'm a Ford man but gotta love the VL it's such a beautiful looking car
Sure is
About time another Holden haha ,
Yeah Yeah!!
Nice car indeed. I noticed he had a flex plate dust cover , any idea where he got it from? The one I got for my LS to TH400 wasn't even close to fitting.
Yeah, when Dave did his nothing he bought was close to fitting
@@AstillDesign you would think by now with the amount of LS/TH400 combos out there that the dust covers should be an off the shelf item.
If there’s one advantage the LS has over a Barra, it’s the sound
No straight 6 pot can ever match the notes of a V8
Yep!!
Agree
WTF?? BARRAS ARE SHIT LOL THEY NEED "FORCED INDUCTION" JUST TO MOVE 😂🤣😂
Red trim would set this thing off
Maybe in another life but they are happy the way it is.
I have my 35 year old Holden VL Commodore wrapped up in a car cover until I can totally get off the dole & restore it, it's like just about every prospective employer is waiting for one of me to send it to Sims Metal to get it scrapped because it's been off the road for 13 years now.
It ran a Nissan RB30DE engine which I built for it 18 years ago.
Oh,my Holden VY SS Commodore which has a tuned 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine fitted into it with full Genie headers,200 cell per inch catalytic converters ,g a twin 2.5" exhaust system bolted onto it ran out of rego on Monday.
I suppose they're waiting for me to send that one to Sims Metal too & buy one of their cars before they look at employing me !
Maybe?
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
love to know how he did the bonnet
not sure about that, sorry
Hard call to make from a judges perspective, when cars are finished off at this level with huge investments in time and dollars. Just because it has a number plate attached to it doesn't make it a street car either - a lot of people are trying to blur that line, where they are really competition cars.
Yeas Mick the line has completely vanished
Nice…
Thanks
in the good old days we would park the car out on the oval and catch the bus down to the strippers
Yeah, I remember them days.
Mint !
Touché.
Beast
Yep.
Mint.
Freshly minted!
Nice car
I would have run 20s
It would be a strange world if we all liked the same thing
New york aint a place for ozi ikon ❤
Haha nice foot cam u banana, all that work u have done but cant get both tail lights working 🤦🏻♂️
As I said they just got the car back from the painters. There was plenty still to do.
The old man looks like Russell Ingall
Good one.👍
XR8 bonnet on a VL? 22 inch wheels on a VL? Just NO.
Haha dude i didnt even see the XR bulge first time, but yeh no
Ah, but it's subtle in the silver.
Bigger wheels on suv's at school pickup!
Marcus obviously likes them, and I guess he is the only one that matters
Typical vl tailights out
Whats with the ford bonnet
Looks good tho
yes to the taillights, better than a reverse cal, agreed!!
8 Caliper Pistons
Camera nerves I think.
Sonny all day N KnOW ut kame ouuta nUwhere
Why build a car with 1000hp and don't use it? It's kind of redundant, each to their own I guess.
He certainly uses this one
@@AstillDesign Nice, I guess I've misinterpreted his dad when he said he want to build one to use for burnouts etc.
Defect ....lol
My opinion this VL is a Tuff Street not a Elite.
I also think it would fit in Tuff St street class.
Thats mad
Yep
😘👌
Cheers
To much rim not enough tire ..
Yeah BUD SIMMONS (smiley face)
