2008 Pontiac G8

 
Brian's G8 is definitely like one you haven't seen around these parts. It's one, if not the only, most modified G8 in the Northeast. And a recent trip and Award of Excellence win at the GM Carlisle Nationals proves it. Brian has performed a full Holden Commodore Conversion (minus the right hand drive swap) which included a custom made front bumper, full Holden emblems, a custom gauge pod and paint. It is by far the most complete Holden Conversion in the Northeast. Most of the mods were done by Brian or with a helping hand from one of his friends.
Brian's modifications to his G8 is like reading a legit build sheet. Since EMC has started back in May of 2011, he had the longest modifications e-mail so far. So please understand our laziness when we show you what his modifications entail instead of us talking about them (because we would be typing for hours!)
Before we do show you Brian's modification list, we'd like to remind anyone who has a G8 or wants to own one, if you ever needed an education on building one, Brian is your guy! He truly knows G8's inside and out. You don't have to take our word for it, you can see his G8 in person and talk to Brian to find out for yourself.
Brian did have something to say about EMC that we would like to include: "Cruisin with the EMC crew has been a great honor as you are all a great bunch. There is such an array of automotive knowledge and memories in this club that an afternoon spent with the EMC crew becomes a great way to hear about some Long Island racing and muscle car history which by far means more to me than any trophy I could win at a show. I want to thank everyone at EMC for allowing me to hang and cruise with you guys and gals. I only hope I have Morty's energy and passion for the automotive hobby as my years go on." Awww, isn't that special? EMC loves Brian's G8, but being such a nice guy, we can't help but like him as well! There isn't anything Brian wouldn't do for any of our members, and car guys like that are hard to find these days. A valued member indeed!
