An old 81 Model im rebuilding & a 96 as my daily driver, they're both Holden Commodores which are made by General Motors:)

    Yeah it's taken a while but these quakes have tapperd off quite good now, still getting them but most you don't feel. Get the odd 3.5 close by you notice but they're nothing, and yeah i'll never leave New Zealand she's a awesome place to call home......
    Cheers about the wagon, she'll get some major attention once i finish the other one i'm rebuilding. Probably just over half way through that one at pres, engine conversions finished. It had a straight 6 in it like your chevy 6's over there but was over that so i've dropped & injected nissan 3.0 litre & auto in her. She'll end up turbo'd by the time i've finished. At present i'm onto the paint, will be factory white with gun metal grey on the lower body & have black round the door frames. I'll chuck up a couple of shots of her(y)

    Replacing the Chevy engine with a turbo Nissan engine? I love it - that would cause a lot of folks here in the states to freak out! :taz:
