Just bought a 5 litre VS ute to keep the Monaro company. Struggling to find parts (obviously). Long shot, but I was wondering whether anyone knew of one being broken. Or any other commodore from this generation (VN, VG, VP, VR, VS).

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for the links. Thing is one of the items on my shopping list is a windscreen... Just got a quote of £4000 for delivery from Aus😂😂


It's an executive (base model I believe). But has some features on it that must be options:

Electric mirrors, cruise control, speed warning computer, remote locking, air con.

But for some reason has wind up windows....

Also doesn't have the nice front lip on it that the higher trims had. So trying to get one of those too

Pilkington Classic said they don't have the tooling for it so that isn't an option, annoyingly. Currently exploring getting a plastic race screen made based on my cracked one (which would hopefully be around £400, which is starting to look like a bargain, so hopefully it's possible). If that doesn't work I'll look more seriously into getting one shipped (the 4k delivery just came from a quick look but I'm sure there must be much cheaper options, especially by sea).

I also really want the S pac front lip and I'm currently waiting to see if any of the companies in Aus are willing to cut one in half so they can send it by Australia Post, which is so cheap compared to the couriers.
