What is the car in the background?

[v8hatch]

you must be talking about this.

[silentbob343]

Yes, love the fender flares. Holden can make a sweet car.

Need more details please, LH or LX, engine, etc.

[v8hatch]

It's an LX 308 auto to much done to it to list mate.

Well the front diff case cracked completely open today and hows this for luck i picked up a Losi LST roller off Gassman, it has Alloy diff cases, some really nice shocks, 23mm hex's and Alloy rear blocks all going onto my Baja.

Can you get some closer pics on how you mounted the rear of the rollcage? Did you mount the upper part of the bumper (see pic and part circled in red) to anything?

[v8hatch]

Yes mate have a look at this pic.

[thzero]

Cool mate... I'm going to have to figure out something for my Savage version.

Btw I like the Holden. :) I have an American Holden, i.e. an 04 GTO.

[v8hatch]

Oh yeah thats the Monaro over here.

[v8hatch]

Went down to the local high school to test out the new shocks, i guess they work well.

But i guess the new tyres don't like brushless power.
