Happy 40th Birthday to the Holden Commodore! Launched October 26, 1978 and inextricably woven into the fabric of Australian motoring history. #holden #holdencommodore #vbcommodore #gmh https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYT3UbH3uv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=alsi1ys7udzi

Holden Commodore (VB), 1978 Introduced in October 1978, Holden's new Commodore marked a somewhat radical shift in Holden design. Considerably smaller than the full-size HZ Kingswood it replaced, the VB was closely related to its GM counterpart in Europe—the Opel Rekord E. The chassis was heavily re-engineered to cope with more demanding Australian conditions, and a longer front end was grafted on to accomodate the range of six- and eight-cylinder "Red" motors. #holden #gmh #vbcommodore #holdencommodore #opelrekorde

Old mate Brett just sent me this pic of The Bomb's twin sister hard at work with the #PMG in the mid-late 60's. Who knows, it may even be #TheBomb herself 🤔 It was like 2-steps forward and 3-steps back on #thebombproject this week. Doesn't matter though, there's always next week 😎🖖 the #VBCommodore is getting a bit of lovin' from me this weekend with a cooling system flush and rebuild. #carlife #HRHolden #HRute #holdenute #myfirstcar #mylastcar #postmastergeneral #modernhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3IVyGAnGy/?igshid=5owqq85mxlfh

Working on #TheBomb in the backyard lastnight after the ambient temperature dropped to a sensible level 😰 Disassembly is slow, but only coz I've been occupied elsewhere. Now the hols are here it should start coming apart faster 😊👌 On the subject, how many bolts does it take to secure a bloody grille?! On the #VBCommodore it's 3 self-tappers. On the #hrholden it's 12 big bolts and 6 smaller ones behind the park lights. Is that an anti-theft thing or just crazy? 🤷 #TheOGBomb #thebombproject #hrute #holdenute #disassemble #restomod #projectcar #myfirstcar https://www.instagram.com/p/B6JXPf-A9nM/?igshid=gjx4hlf7agm8
