Issue 4 - Ross Langford - 2005 Holden Commodore VZ SSZ
Ross Langford is no stranger to tough Holden’s. In the past he’s owned a few cranky Holdens including a HQ Premier with dual headlights and a heavily worked 308/Turbo 400 combo. She wasn’t too flash on the outside but went like a cut cat. Ross Served in the 5/7 Royal Australian Regiment Mechanised Infantry. These brave men and women served in Malaysia in 1986 RCB and defended the air base from attack by communist terrorists. Ross is also the National President of the 5/7 Rar Association and decided to make his car as a tribute to his late wife, his battalion and his solders that have fallen while serving for their country. This 2005 VZ Commodore has the same style as that old HQ but looks a hell of a lot cleaner on the outside. It was built mainly as a tribute to Ross' late wife Mary-Anne who died in a car crash back in 1992. On top of that motive, the car was also planned to be a daily driver that could hold its own on a race track or in a car show.
Issue 7 - Brad Sharpe's VH Holden
The SL/E VH Commodore was the top of its model range. The VH received a few cosmetic upgrades with the SL/E going even further with unique taillights, wrap around rear bumper extensions, black painted B-pillars and upgraded wheels. The late 82 release of the SS and the Group 1, 2 and 3 HDT models attracted more people to the VH model and ultimately sparked a love in the hearts of many. Years later the VH SL/E is still desirable for restorers or modifiers. Brad Sharpe is the latter and his take on the VH is absolutely spot on. It sits right, the body mods are subtle yet effective, it looks damn tough and it’s got a killer donk to boot. What more could you want? Back in ’96 when Brad purchased the car for $5000 it was still running the stock motor which stayed in place until it decided to give up in the KFC drive-through. After pushing the car out of the drive-through and inspecting the engine bay it was discovered that the dizzy module had given out. Brad went hunting for some knowledge to sort it out and he came up with Stuart from Western Suburbs Performance. What started out as a re-graphed dizzy has turned into a fully re-built motor.
