Hi Guys!!

Been out of circulation working on the Kommando. Here are the two!  Malibu out of Oshawa and the Kommando from the land of OZ.  Both assembled in South Africa.

Kommando has 1984 Camaro 305 engine and 700r4 box 

Hope you like them!  Will take pics at Saturday's local show.

This is the middle of Autumbiggrin

They look good. Nice work with the disc brakes! Here in Oz, the yellow one would be HQ Holden Kingswood.

Thanks for the comment. Fortunately some of the guys are prepared to swop out or sell at a reasonable price. The problem comes when you need to import with our poor exchange rate. The resources are there, you need the $$$$$!

The only item that I have not yet found is the two SS stickers that are placed on the front fenders. I was lucky in finding the V8 badges in the cubby of the el Camino!

Hullo Nightster Guy,
Thanks for the note. Foung a local graphics guy that can cut the decals for me.
Took the Kommando for the first time on the freeway and pushed it through all four the gears. Glorious feeling!
Speedo indicated 170Kph. Could feel the thrust with each gear shift, Awesome!!

Thanks Pierre67,

The Malibu is absolutely original but the 75 Kommando has a bit of everything in it from BMW to VW to Camaro to Holden Kingswoodbiggrin
