A Piece of Street Machine History

Many of you will remember the VU Holden Commodore Ute that was famously given away at Summernats 17 in 2004. Known as VU For U, this Ute turned heads as a Street Machine giveaway car and has since changed hands a few times. For years, it’s been living here in WA – but now, it’s time to bring it back to its former glory.

The Reason Behind the Revival

This project carries a much deeper meaning. A close mate of ours – who’s also family – is currently battling Stage 4 terminal cancer. His dream is to enjoy life while he still can, and part of that dream is to one day own a HQ Holden Steel Bumper. To help make that possible, we’re fixing up the iconic VU For U so he can sell it and use the funds to chase his dream after medical costs and equipment have been purchased.

The Plan of Attack

We’ve gathered some fantastic friends and businesses to get this revival on the road:

• @BadQGarage – helping us transport the Ute and get it ready.
• AJ’s Mods – where all the mechanical issues will be sorted and a list of required parts put together.
• @autofxwa – where Des and the team will revive the paint, bring out the shine, and give the Ute a professional detail.

On Monday, the project officially kicks off at AJ’s Mods, where we’ll get the first look at what’s needed to get this classic running at its best. From there, we’ll be reaching out to the community and businesses across WA and Australia to help source the parts and keep costs low – every dollar saved means more peace of mind and enjoyment for our mate during this tough time.

If you or your business would like to get involved, please contact us at info@aussiegaragetv.com.au. Your support could make a huge difference.

What’s Next

Once the build is complete, Bad Q Garage will host a professional photo session to showcase this revived Street Machine. Then, we’ll celebrate with a small car event at @autofxwa in O’Connor, WA, where potential buyers can check out the Ute and the community can come together to support this special cause.

This isn’t just about restoring a car – it’s about giving someone the chance to live their dream, even in the face of adversity. With your help, we can kickstart the VU For U back into gear and make this journey one to remember.

Street Machine Magazine

Aussie Garage would also like to thank Street Machine Magazine for reaching out to us to find out more about the VU for U Revival Project and for assisting us spread the word about his iconic car.
