How could I have missed this post. That looks stunning. How much have you spent on it?

I bet those rims are a nightmare to keep clean?
 
Wow. Never seen on one of these. Holden seems to be doing several platforms for cars here in the states. I love that color. I want to paint my next project that color.

Nice job!
 
I like it, nice. I wish i could keep chromes looking good over here, no chance though, unless i only put them on for the occasional week-end.

Waynne...The girl has cost me a pretty packet as it stands in the pictures...That was rebuild no 4...and the final costing was around the $130,000 mark...:blink:...
This girl was my divorce present to myself...:p...My only true love...:love:
Wheels mate are pretty easy to keep clean...Not a big dish and flat...all it requires is a soaping and wipe over...

Hey Country Bumpkin...I should have taken photo's of her when she was dirty and covered in mud...Yes...I do alot of country driving with her...even dirt roads...not scared to use it as she was built to be a road car not a cotton wool trailered show car...;)...

The Beginning of the build...

The arrival of the new front bumper bar...Moulding a 2008 VE HSV Commodore (Pontiac G8 to the oversea's folk) front bumper to a 2004 Commodore...Total Hours consumed...80 hours to modify...also fitted a 2006 Holden Statesman Grille (the Rolls Royce of Holden built in Aust)...

The completed unit...excuse the blocks of wood...:lol:...was waiting on the gas struts and new remote actuators to arrive...
 
The Tailgate...suicide style...

Tailgate needs to be cut straight for it to open...They have a curved edge and will smash the taillight every time it would be opened...So the only solution...Modify it...;)

Tailgate removed and ready for the new process...
