That is so not the case. Maybe if the SA prison system did do something, like offer education/skills that mean something. Because at the moment they only let you learn how to use word or excel....They have a fantastic metal shop at Mobilong, they could use for that for apprenticeships instead...

Mate it was a genuine question. And yes I have been living very remote until recently so thank you for the information.

I don't know where all you people go when you say there is plenty of places to do this legally? The car scene/drag racing/ burnout comps are dead in South Australia. Please, someone, tell me where I can go?

Are you joking? 6 months prison for a burnout at 2 am in an industrial estate? I think you need to go on a holiday mate and just relax, it sounds like you are one grumpy old man with that attitude haha.

Do you have any more information mate?

So I have nearly completed the fuse box relocation, it has been a lot easier than I thought it was going to be :) The hardest part is trying to find the same colour and gauge wires from my local Autopro. Started to install the box into the glove box, I have added plugs just behind the dash so...

Come on you don't really believe this kid owns a business, do you?

It looks like the powertrain harness plug for the LS1.

I have been thinking long and hard about where I will put the fuse box from under the bonnet, and I have decided it will be best located in the glove box as it fits perfect. Now, I was going to route the wires back into the cabin from the driver's side but have thought of a way to route them up...

So I have been thinking about documenting everything when I move the fuse box and then maybe try and find a solution where I can reproduce the custom wiring looms to sell. I have the time and the electrical skills, but I don't know if there would be a market for them these days? Maybe even a kit...

Mate I envy you so much, I am looking for a ute myself and I don't want to pay much as it will be my run around car (ok maybe next project .......shhhhh don't tell the wife) but I cant find anything cheap. Anyway keep up the good work and I hope to see more posts.

wow I had a great morning going through this thread, I now want to put all my important jobs aside and jump back in the shed with my SS now lol Great work mate! What is the headunit you used?

Oh that's a relief, I have got new King Springs coming to raise it back to FE2 height and I have also decided to strip her back to bare metal for a respray so will fit a strut brace when I put everything back together. Are short travel shocks too short for FE2 height? or will I need to buy new...

Tell me about it! I am no panel beater so I am a bit worried if this car is worth fixing, after seeing that crack I have decided to strip it down to bare metal and get it resprayed if its fixable, but if that crack is not fixable I will try and find a new shell.

I think I am going to go with the silver with a polished lip but black is close aswell. at least I don't have to decide yet as about a million other things just got put in front of that lol

So I have come across this crack and not sure if this is something I should be worried about or can it be fixed? I am also moving the coil connection to the loom down by the coil packs on the drinker's side, as well as moving the petrol tank purge valve back a bit so it's not an eyesore on the...

I am going to relocate the abs into where the battery used to be, and I am trying to think of ways to move the cruise control if I can.

From an Astra I think unless I come across something better.

Cheers, well I may have gone a bit overboard but I have just started realising how dirty and in need of some serious attention and love. So I have started relocating the fuse box from the engine bay to the cabin, removing the power steering pump and replacing it with an electric one, as well as...

I need a bit of help if anyone would like to chime in, I am looking at getting a set of Simmons FR 19's and I am having a bit of trouble deciding on what colour. White with chrome lip? black, silver or polished? I have no idea what would go with the Tiger Mica paint. Reason I am getting new rims...

Quick update, more for myself so I can remember what I am doing. I have decided to raise the old girl back to FE2 height as I am not coping well with it being so damm low. I am trying to source new seat foam for the front seats, and then trying to decide to either get them re-trimmed in leather...

Drove her down to my kiosk and park her out the front, and what do you know! it looks like I was not the only person to take their toys out today.

Welcome mate, wagons are awesome! I don't have a commodore wagon anymore, but I have a 2004 Volvo XC70 turbo wagon and I love it, I just replaced the whole front end suspension as the car has done 5000k. The car was given to me for free as the person who owned it before me, only changed the oil...

Cheers mate, this is how long I have been away as I forgot what e-mail I used to sign up. This account was not the one I used; it must have been one I went to use then changed my e-mail, and as I was young and stupid, I suspect I didn't know how to change my e-mail in account settings, so I have...

Hi everyone just thought I would make a return to the forum as it has been many years since I have been to just commodores, and also, it has been way too long since my old girl has been out from under the car cover (5 years I think). She has had a lot of engine work 383 stroker with huge cam...

Hi I'm having problems with my trans when it shifts into 4th it shakes the whole car so I have to keep it in 3rd any ideas what could be the problem??
