  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.

  Issue 4 - Stadium Drift Grand Final 2010

  The sixth and final round of Raceline Events' Stadium Drift series came to the Gold Coast Parklands on November 13th and 14th. After seven hours of practice on the Saturday, racing on Sunday began with drivers already pushing the limits of the track. Street, L2 and Pro classes all raced at the event, and brought with them some vivid illustrations that the Pro competition is going to be even more fierce next year as L2 drivers fight to make their way up the chain. Conditions were good, practice day bringing clear skies and finals day being threatened with looming storm clouds, which kindly held off long enough for the event to finish. In typical Queensland summer style the sun was blistering, but it did not discourage the crowd.

  Issue 9 - Brad Lane's 1980 VC HDT

  It all started back in 1999 when he bought the car as a wreck from an eighteen year old kid who had no insurance. He brought the car home and let it sit for a few months until he sold his VP Commodore. Oh and if you’re wondering, Brad is a Commodore nut. He’s owned a few different ones over the years but none as cool or as quick as this. Anyway, he sold the VP and started stripping the VC to get it ready to send to Burleigh Smash Repairs for some repairs and a full bare metal respray, inside and out. It took about six months but the end result was immaculate. A few years later, Brad was attending shows without success so he decided to remove the donk and had Bill at Burleigh Smash seam weld the entire engine bay and smooth the whole lot so that the rails and headlights were covered and all the bumps removed. The wiring was all hidden at this point as well to create a flawless engine bay.
