For someone so far from the normal supply spare parts, you have certainly scored. And you have some unbelievable scenery drive through. Make the most of your good fortune. Keep us up to date...

Yes count myself very lucky on getting the bits for this, few had obviously failed to sort her in the last 5 years.
And yeah lucky were we are over here in some ways it's an awesome place to live - will keep the updates coming for sure to Cheers

Have to get this old girl going at some stage soon, joys of being self employed there's just not enough hours in the day. Just sold my late model Ls powered Holden wagon so no v8 to drive will get me going i'd say haha, good bonus with the sale is i've got the funds needed to go right through this & get her sorted. I'll keep the updates coming but hopefully soon some proper updates (y)

Glad to hear that this unusual venue has not faded off into the mists of history.
She'll be alive in the very near future, she's sitting patiently in the carport awaiting her turn. Two of my other wagons there as well, gold one i just saved from some young fellas she was a real mess but soon to be the new daily ;)

It would be fun to swap in a manual 3.6 V6 drivetrain from a late model Camaro. 300hp.
Where not a fan of those 3.6 engines over here they give no end of trouble, theyve got them in the later commodores. I wreck commodores for a living here & i even hate buying them to wreck, 3g to do the cam chains & the ecu's blow all the time which is an easy grand here plus a lot more issues they have

Wow. The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence, er, ocean.

Perhaps that is why I never see anyone doing something with the 3.6. Ever.
