Your best bet is keeping it for a cold winter day because once you sell it you’ll never see it again

Came up great after a quick wash mate

Looks pretty awesome for 500,000 kms

I think this project would really suit getting all new standard suspension. And it becoming a parts getter and road trip vehicle

i say make it Roadworthy and just See how much more Kms you can put on it, its already done so much and i bet it would be happy to do more

Hmmm, 3 seater, canopy, worn out engine 🤔 seems like some one has the perfect drag and drive build

I do love a good ol standard VR/VS. Was my first car and still have it thankfully. Its at that age where so many things need adressing simply from a harsh long life. I dont have funds to get her all nice and proper but will subscribe to hopefully see this one get some love in the future👍🏼

I have been waiting for this video since I first subscribed. I absolutely love VR VSs and I have 4 of them. 2 wagons and 2 Statesmans. Out of all the commodores my family has owned in my lifetime (VL, VS, VY, VF) the VSs are probably the best of the lot imo. I have done around 30.000kms in my wagon since I registered it in August 2022 and am absolutely head over heels in love with it. I go everywhere with it and it has never let me down. I have been over every inch of the car and know it like the back of my hand. The only real fault is the auto leaks a little for some reason and slips when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. I don't skid it and always maintain it. It only gets the best parts, oils and detailing products. I bought it December 2019 for $600 a month before my 16th birthday. Took me 2.5 years to save up the money to repair it (only really needed suspension bushes plus a couple other minor things) and register it. I bought it with around 183k and I am sitting at around 212 - 213k. This car will be with me forever and I can't be apart from it. I often say that when I die, I will be cremated and have my urn put in the dash. It's not the perfect example but it's perfect to me and I often get told it's one of the cleanest wagons around.

I would say, put a compression tester on the engine to see if the rings need to be done. Then just give it a freshen up and keep it base stock. Then just a basic hand rub and give it a coat of paint. Sometimes these a sweet just being base standard.

i have a dash pad sitting here in pretty decent condition from memory id be more than happy to give you

I have a series 2 s pack ute in my shed. Had it for ages. Got big plans for it but the budget isn t matching at them moment. Btw i built custom enclosures for two 10 inch subs that live behind the seats. Sounds great but does reduce leg room. Im 5 11 but if you are 6 1 it would be a drama. Dont sell it... hard to find solid complete ones now

Nice - I'm a big fan of VS Commodores.

I’m very keen on doing a cleanup and v8 manual swap. If you wanted to sell it let me know !!! I’d keep u in the loop with the build and progress and it’s not gonna go on a track or anything! Experienced body worker and avid amature mechanic machinist !

I've got a series 2 1996 VS executive sedan, shit rips mate haha

she'll be right

restore it

Rebuild ecotec after l67

Hey might make come back doesn't surprise me it's at 500000 got a vz that's done same original by the way they go and last.

Nice beard ;)

Matey, I understand completely that you’re not keen on selling it. But…….I do have a 15 year old nephew that I’d love to do an uncle & nephew project with.. back to original I’m 45, able and would love to spend time bringing that girl back to life. He wants to be a mechanic..his dad who is an engineer, simply won’t spend time or money with him A because he doesn’t think commodore utes are worth saving & B… he think mechanical work is beneath his young bloke learning. I’m a panel beater buy trade, had one as my first apprentice car in 1996. I’ve looked a lot of places online & either find beat to a pulp utes or utes that are too much to buy. I’d love to purchase off you, canopy & all.. I am serious & have cash. I live near Tamworth NSW..and am happy talk however & whenever possible…even if you still say no. Thank you in advance & kindest regards, Mat
