hmmmm u seem to know wat u doin with spray painting, wanna paint my car??

Theres a little spot for u in the traders section for u now mate ;-)

thanks for that, i will put up some info threads. cheers

wow man that is awesome work. Is there a reason you changed the front bar from the one in the 2,3 & 4 pic to the one in the later pics? Just wondering cause the 2 of them give a total different look to the car. oh and the wheels 2?

the front in the later pics is the VR-VS Stato front evilhighway. looks as tho he's making his own version of what a stato wagon wouldve been like. I reckon it looks sweet

Yeh I can see the stato wagon thing and I agree that it looks sweet. Just asking the questian as I find it always gives an insight to why they went that way and can also let you know if there were further issues with going one way over another etc.
Just askin is all!

understood. too easy mate

the wagon has gone through major changes since i owned it from stock, i wanted it be be a higher end holden series.
i thought since statesmans and caprices use the same wheel base, why not lol.
i like the feel and look of a luxury wagon that holden should of produced.
i hated the fibre glass breaking all the time so i went full caprice options and it still has some work to be done to it, just have to find the time.

looks the goods for sure, i think holden wouldve done well if they produced a luxo based wagon like this
