Hello To Everyone
Hi All,
My Names Tom. I'm from Adelaide, South Australia. I'm looking forward to posting help on this site, and learning as much as I can from experienced US Rodders.
I'm a GM nut, and work at GM Holden, where we build the new GTO.
Well, its time to enjoy this site. So i'll leave you all to it. See ya!When Cool Meant Cubic Inches

HJ MONARO this picture. Mines the same, but yellow in colour, in the middle of a rebuild too. I put the Engine in my Holden HQ Kingswood to get it run-in while the Monaro is being rebuilt.When Cool Meant Cubic Inches

This is the Holden HQ 1971-1974 Kingswood, with SBC under hood, intended for the Monaro once it's run in.Last edited by HJCHEVY400; 04-13-2004 at 03:01 PM.
