i've posted this in the other rides section cause its not my car and my brother is not a forum member (he struggles with computers ).

so this is the most mint stock $1500 commodore i've seen for a long time! 150,000kms on the dial, totally clean inside and out and virtually perfect paint and body. All my brother has done is replace the hub caps for some decent rims and is now planning to force so more air into it for a track car!
We can't find any oil leaks or any crud built up on the motor anywhere!! I can only imagine that this is roughly what they looked like from holden back in the early 90's!
so we got some bits and pieces for it already
plan is to have forward facing 3 into 1 pipes then into 2inch x 2 into the turbo, he wants to keep it not too spastic cause hes not sure yet if he wants to maybe rego it one day!

anyways more to come over the next few weeks, got to clean up my turbo project a bit to make some room in the shed to get Micks car in then we can start playing with his pipes and the hope is to have it boosted for November drags in Gunnedah!

HOLY CRAP.....

Thats clean as & low KM's must have been garaged too as the paint is normally faded by then too!

With that low KM's does the odo still work as they had a common gear that used to break in the cluster!

nice score, should come up nicely

yes odometer works, actually, there is not one thing on the car that isn't working as it should!

finally got the shed cleaned up enough to get my brothers VP in so the turbo upgrade can finally start!
got to do a few deliveries to drop off some of the stuff thats not mine thats cluttering the shed then we are good to go!
had the turbo semi log manifold on the gemini to move it in and out of the shed ...... its kinda ... errr .... loud hehehe

fairly productive weekend for us turbo boys

got the header pipes made up and ready for the next section - into the turbo!

bit more progress tonight ... really starting to take shape now!!
i've been given orders to find and purchase wastegate and oil lines/fittings and the brother is hopefully getting the last needed bits of pipe for me and him tomorrow so hopefully there will be more progress soon!

also had to get a group turbo photo

THATS A BLOODY BIG TURBO!

what size is the wheel & will it take a bit to get spinning?

its a GT35 .70 compressor and .82 turbine, as far as how its sized, no idea till they run!

we have the VP to the stage of the exhaust completed up to the turbo flange

gave her a quick start last night to make sure everything worked as expected! i tell ya what a v6 is alot quieter than the gemini
Micks now trying to source some inlet piping bits and we are also waiting on the arrival of the wastegate etc.
