Hi, got a price today to refresh the wheels on #18. They are getting hard to clean and the clear lacquer is starting to peel or chip in places. $99 each for a...
(what's happened guys'n'girls .. geez it's been quiet on this board!). I'll start again ... Damn! My brother (and his signifigant other) bought a new (well,...
Hi all, Frank,you are comparing a 2003 car with a 1995 car.I'll be interested to see how pristine the Monaro is when it is 11 years old, as the LE is now! In...
Hi all, Frank,you are comparing a 2003 car with a 1995 car.I'll be interested to see how pristine the Monaro is when it is 11 years old, as the LE is now! In...
G'day Ian, I couldn't agree with you more, on all fronts; durability, suspension (at load), steering. On durability, I just have to look at my own LE. Sure, I...
Hey Andrew, I will send you some photos of my recently finished staggered set of rims. I stripped them completely and polished them up. They look fantastic!...
I agree fully Ian. Holdens are not built too last. They are like Chinese food. They fill the void for a short time and then leaves you hungry and wanting...
Hi all, I agree the build quality of Holdens can be pretty poor, in fact having worked on the fringes of OE supply to the major Oz manufacturers I know they ...
G'day Garry, some (very) interesting info. My step-father used to own a HQ Statesman. He still rates it the best car he ever had. The only reason he sold it...
All, I was speaking to a work colleague a cupla days ago. He was unaware of my recent Winton/Alps drive. When I mentioned it to him, he said that he'd seen on...
Hi Frank, Caught the tail end of that car show and I'm pretty sure it was the Vic BMW CC day from earlier this year. As for my engine, you're right I have been...
G'day Garry, thanks for the reply. Good luck on the repairs .. ouch! I did have a squiz at the M5 Board, but only looked at our Winton/Alps drive thread. I'll...
Gday Frank, Garry & all, just got my internet link back up so it has been very quiet at our place for a few weeks. Anyway, this thread bought a smile to my...
G'day (again) Geoff, my brother's Monaro is actually 3 years (and 3 months) old. It's a Sept '03 build. It's got just over 28,000 km on the clock, and has been...
Hi Scott, I used to sell these for a living and my advice, fit exactly what the book says, no hotter, no colder, no fancier and I believe Bosch are OE but NGK ...
Hi gentlemen Just chiming in on the discussion about wheel refurbishing. Costs here in WA are about $140/wheel for refinishing and lacquering back to original...
Hi guys - sorry I have been quiet and absent. Been on a business trip in China and then New Zealand. Thought I would let you guys know about the following...
Paul - you are absolutely right. I didn't this time as I was flat out the whole time I was there - meetings, flying, etc and was with another 2 directors of...
Hi, after looking at he pic's of the polished wheels I have pretty much decided not to get #18's polished. I want to keep the factory look and I think the...
Andrew - as the wheels have a painted finish, any good paintshop should be able to do the job - no need to go to a specific wheel refurbisher. Worth getting a...
Actually, I like the look of the polished outer rim. If you get the right angle and sunlight on the standard finish (as long as they're clean), they almost...
Geoff, Peter, Richard et al (mainly the Sydneysiders), Greg, Cherie+Henry, and Les, After being introduced to the (superb drive of the) Putty Rd back in 2002...
Frank - sounds like a great plan. I am sure you will get high levels of interest from the Sydneysiders. Would love to come over and join you if I could! Have...
Hi Frank, and all. You can count me in, just give me a few days notice to get organised, and I'll be there. And all the best to everyone for a safe and happy...
