My new pride and joy

Post by dbart1961 »

Just a couple of pics to show you what I have been working on for the past 18 months. It will never replace the Gem though :)
I sprayed it myself in Acrylic. It is Black cherry from the VE SS I think. Under the bonnet is a mild 5.0litre running on straight gas. About 213kw at the engine. Still has the original leather interior as well.
Hope you like my car.

Gents. I have spent enough money on it thanks so the wheels stay :wink:
he boot is enormous but quite shallow and the gas tank takes a bit of a chunk out of it. Holden did not think real hard about where to put the spare tyre though. It is basically just sitting on he floor taking up space :? I am thinking of mounting it under the boot where the petrol tank went.
