1987 Holden VL Commodore Berlina – Full Bare Metal Respray & Rust Repairs
Genuine 1987 VL Commodore Berlina in excellent condition and becoming increasingly hard to find in this quality.
The car has had a full open-door respray and rust repairs completed by Meseti Bodyworks, regarded as one of the best in the industry.
Check out their website as they have a full write up with pictures for this car so you can see the extent of the work that was carried out.
Anyone that knows paint jobs and rust repairs knows that this is a 30k+ paint job.
Paintwork presents extremely well with excellent panel fit and finish — no shortcuts were taken.
The intention was to build a tough street car with a big motor and upgraded running gear, which is why the paint and body were done properly from the start. In the end, I didn’t have the heart to remove the original motor and running gear, and I already own a custom street VL, so this one has been kept true to its original character and kept it as a family car to take the kids in.
Highlights:
Full open-door respray (not a blow-over)
Rust repairs professionally completed
Quality workmanship throughout
Straight body with clean lines
Berlina trim package
Immaculate interior
Original motor and running gear retained
Perfect base for a proper street build if desired, with absolutely no money to be spent on paint or trim. Alternatively, enjoy it as a clean, original-style VL that’s been restored properly where it counts.
Well cared for example. Inspections welcome. Genuine enquiries only.
