Brett's VP




It started out life in the 80’s as a boring old dunnydore, the staple of the Australian motoring scene and still is to some.  Many died, being thrashed, trashed or just uncared for.  Their relative inexpensive served as a viable tool for young p platers looking for mischievous skulduggery.  Only a few decent examples have survived, one of which is Brett’s VP.



When Brett handed over his hard earned for this commodore he knew he was onto something, to everyone else it looked like another beaten up, stock as a rock VP. But to Brett it wasn’t so, you see he came across this vehicle just at the right time, with Taurus in place with Sagittarius and Venus aligned with mars, magic happens. 



The previous owner had fitted airbags all round and had even made it all legit, unfortunately for him he came into monetary woes. Unfinished projects can be a great thing, especially if the previous owner has done it right and this one was not a bad pick up by any stretch of the imagination.







Coupled with a set of 22’s he had from an old car, the grin on his chin was a mile wide.  Handy then he was a painter by trade.  All that was needed was a slight flare on the front guards and we’re in business.  Slammed ride? Check. Tucked 22’s? Check.  Custom paint? Check.  And with that he pulled the bomb from the brink of motoring oblivion, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the commodore can cruise and hardpark in style once again.



More quality pics to come
