I just thought i'd make a post in relation to Jason's CV8 Monaro. I'll be the first to admit that when it came around the corner, all i saw was a sparkly VY 'SS'. As my mind rolled over at speeds quicker than a bolt of lightning, i realised that this 'SS' was actually had 2 doors. What?! That can't be. A third look both eased and excited my mind, as i realised it was actually a Flame Orange CV8 Monaro.

Immediately i walked up for further inspection, revealing that this particular Monaro had been treated to a VY front end, including Front Bar, Guards and bonnet. The gold sparkles that oozed over the original paintwork were a real treat to the eye, as was the dismissal of washer jets from the bonnet, Magenta stripe around the main line of the bodywork, and clear Monaro tail-lights.

Owning a Monaro myself, it was a real mind boggling experience. Whilst it is'nt a 'Commodore', it really is a car that deserves the attention it attracts. Inside, there are many more 'bits and pieces' to stimulate the mind, but i would strongly recommend buying a copy of STREET MONARO'S and checking this machine out for yourself!

Yeah, VY conversion. Not an SS bar, but an SSX style bar. The rest of the kit is Monaro. The VY front end doesnt have washer jets in the bonnet. They now live in the plastic cowl assembly.

I think the Pontiac front end would have looked alittle boreing,the SSX style front looks more agrasive (spl?).

You seen basically a pontiac. There is a yellow cruising around my end of Melbourne. IT has pntiak number plates. Doesnt look to bad. I know if I had a choice on which front end I wanted, I know I would have to go the SSX. I would say the pontiacs looks mroe aggresive. I will see if I can snap a shot. I see it round the corner at the pizza joint/
