Accidentally Bought LS3 VF Holden Commodore at Pickles Auctions!

What happens when a fitter and turner accidentally wins a Holden Commodore SS at a Pickles auction?
You get one seriously good story — and the start of an Aussie V8 rebuild!
In this episode, I show you how my wife’s “test bid” turned into a full-blown project car: a 2015 VF Series II SS Sportwagon, LS3 6.2L V8 — real Aussie muscle.
We take a look under the bonnet, check out the damage, talk through parts and plans, and get this salvage Commodore ready for its second life.
If you love Holden, HSV, or Aussie car culture — subscribe and follow the build as we bring this SS back to glory.
