Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Commadore based more on the Senator, its wider than the Omega

Yep - I think it's the same shell that Adam used to create the still-born Omega V8, as that had alot more rear legroom.
Not sure, but is that front door a tad longer than "our" Omega?

doors all look the same from comparison, its the bit between rear door, and the rear wheel that is longer,  stil, with ours being narrower, less filler and grinding when the inevitible rust sets in!!!
