and made by the old man if you dont like commodores thats fine
or even the work done thats fine i put these pictures on here just to
show what you can do if you put your mind into something

I think it (Ratbox comment) was in reference to the Commodore in general!

Not my cup of tea either. Horrible ugly cars. Still, I appreciate the work put into them even if I feel it is miss directed.

yes my comments were along the lines of what smooth said, nice work but why bother with a commodore
if you were refering to my cars as being rush hack jobs remember these were EK/FB holdens and everything had to be made not bought and added on, if not disregard :?

Nice work indeed. I am suprised to find that most of the people on these forums don't like commodores. I just assumed that if you like FB/EK's that your a Holden man, and if your a Holden man then you will worship the Commodore. Suddenly I don't feel guilty for having a ef falcon as a daily driver. 8)

I can't stand Commodores but alot of that comes from the fact that at every event I have attended in the last 5 or so years if there's cars doing a burnout when and where it shouldn't guess what car it is! There is no appeal for me in them at all, to the point I won't allow my wife to get one :lol: :lol:

True Car enthusiasts will always look past the badge on the front anyway, well the ones I know do.

Now as for these 2 door ones they look like something Holden should have produced even if they are a Commodore, tell your dad EK jay very nice work indeed. John Of Johns Rod and Kustom has a 2 door VK he built using the OPEL parts many years ago too....

i got a VN ya gota have something to do the shopping in :oops: :roll:
FB wannabe to me holden died years ago prolly at HQ from there on they are just something to drive, still don't think i'de stoop to a &*#@, besides my A model that had a chev engine i've only ever had 2 fords out of close to 1000 cars and they were both peices of crap

Yeah this Holden vs &*#@ shit is just crap. All Commodores are shopping trolley's and I despise them. I have only ever owned one Commodore in my whole life and it was a bucket.

For me if it hasn't got metal bumpers I'm not in the slightest interested.

I class myself as an Early model Holden man. But I still own &*#@'s, Jaguar's and have even driven Jap crap as a shopping trolley. (I wouldn't spend money on one "doing it up")

Cars are all shit boxes designed to relieve you of "all" your cash and get you from A to B if your lucky.

Just because we love the Holden badge doesn't mean we love or even like all models ever produced. -= Far from it =-.
