I sold him my xr front end, so it'll be looking better soon one hopes......

I think he's also in the middle of a 351W conversion at the moment.

hahaha, yeah, right. Except for the bulge. And maybe a bit of interior work. And a bit of intake work.

Ah screw it Adam, you've never left a car factory std since you got your first hotwheels.

there's a dealership selling one with a shaker near here, and they certainly look good coming out of the bulge. That, however...

Wow, that actually does look very, very impressive. I remember being a bit weirded out when bucknaked told me about it, i thought itd either look really good or really stupid, happy to say its the former!

I like it a lot!

Any chance of a mesh or something to fill the airdam though?

You guys have seen these right??

http://www.shaker.com.au/

Macka on the xr6turbo forum is doing a shaker for the turbos too.

The AU bonnet with the scoops looks like the VZ Monaro to me (which in turn looks like the XB/XC scoops), not really a big fan of it.

Absolutely agree!!! These scoops belong on XB/XC, and I have never seen them suit another model.......seen a lot of old holdens with nasa scoops also :

i fully agree, they better make a shaker on the next BA model, i luv em. as for the xb/c scoops, i agree that their outa place on the AU, i wouldnt mind seeing them on a BA, and maybe with the shaker aswell (just outa curiousity).

but the scoops looks mad on esckys, dattos, and pretty much most older cars, including that holden eh, with the chop top.
