Hi guys, thought i would put a post up of my Vauxhall.
It was first rodded in 1978 and ran a 186s holden engine out of a holden monaro and had a 4 speed box, the front and rear ends came from a 1966 HR Holden GMH .
I don't know too much about the build back then, but was given these old photo's of the car when i first bought it.
this one was taken when it was first finishe and on its way to be registered for road use.

the second pic was taken about two years later in 1980 sorry bout the fuzzy pics.


the car changed hands again in 1993 and was given a freshen up in 2000,

then in 2004 it was sold to me, the first thing i did was to remove the bumpers and look at ways to lower the car.


I drove it like this for about the next 3 years, clocking up over 25,000 miles a year, It was used as my daily driver and saw plenty of hard miles towing a 7x4 box trailer with all my floor sanding tools and machines, I even had the back seat out of it to make room for more tools.
It was used for work during the week, then cleaned up on friday nights readt to attend any rod runs that might have been happening on the weekends.


heading off on another long distance run for the weekend 990kilometre each way trip. I followed a few mates and we all cruised through the night just to arrive at the run about 7am on the saturday morning.we stayed the night and left to drive back home late afternoon arriving home again 2am mon morning lol
a couple of my traveling buddies.
