Looks gorgeous and the lack of a rear spoiler is the perfect finishing touch.

You've done the Monaro justice.

The bulbs at that location are dual-element. They stay on with the running lamps and flash with the signals.

Very nice mate. The way the Munro was always 'sposed to look, nice clean lines.

Should try fitting CV8Z wheels to it. IMHO the black wheels dont fit the rest of the car.


Other then that, it's good to see a Pontiac back to a Holden. Lets hope more people respond to it as a positive.

IMHO the black wheels dont fit the rest of the car. I was thinking the opposite. I think they look great, if anything a bit too small but still.

Just wait till you get a home sick Aussie see it in the street. I bet they come straight up to you and chat your ear off. Then come back and post on here that they saw it.

It looks great mate! :)

... wow! Lovely looking piece of equipment. The front end conversion alone was well worth the effort. The quality of the photos sure is up there as well. Well done, Im sure you are proud.

ps. that close up logo shot is now my background. :D
