BY THE time he was in his mid-20s, Josh Stewart had sampled widely from the automotive buffet. He’d owned stanced JDM vehicles and drift rockets, a few mini-trucks, and a handful of makes and models from the Australian domestic market, tallying upwards of 30 cars. “They were all fairly basic bolt-on builds like wheels and suspension,” Josh says. “I’d never even done an engine swap!”
Keen to increase his car-building chops, Josh was ready to get serious about building a street machine, which is how the VL Commodore you see here came to be. “I owned the that needed way too much work. This one popped up out of Victoria and was really neat, so I sold the first one, and days later this car was sitting in my driveway. In hindsight, I should have left it alone!” he laughs.
