My new project. HQ GTS

[ziggycv8z]

Looks great Nick. Can't wait to see it

Thanks Adam.

Had a similar issue with windscreen cracking on my HX. Turned out to be the tips of the screws for the stainless trim down the A pillar touching the edge of the glass. Something to watch out for.
Car looks great Ziggy. Our family mechanic from years ago had (and still has) a mint HJ monaro 2 door in the same yellow. Mum had it as a courtesy car when I was around 10 years old and man did I feel like king shit cruising in it! Was featured in a current affairs program some time ago appreciating enthusiast's cars before we all became hoons.

I thought of the screws but I used the proper short ones. Windscreen fitter seems to think that there wasnt enough goo and the screen was touching the body.

this makes me miss my old HQ
Great job so far mate, and I hope to see if crusing around Bris soon.

Can I just recommend to you replacing the front seatbelts. Those are now over 40 years old and aren't going to be worth a pinch of shit should the worst happen.
When I did mine up I had the front belts tested and they tore apart with only minor tension/force, and that was 10 years ago!

Good Idea on the belts. Will get new ones soon.

Good Job.
Nothing like the sound of a Holden V8...but, a SINGLE exhaust?.......C'mon.......it's a V8 Monaro...GOTTA have dual exhausts!
Cheers, Pickles.

Yep, will be dual system very soon.

Just a question on the GTS steering wheel/s. How much are they going for nowadays?
Also i have heard of a brown/tan version but with a black holden lion badge in the centre cap.
Does anyone know of these wheels? They must be rare and what did they come off?

Also while on the subject of the old girls, What are GTS dashboards going for these days? Either HX white needle & black face & woodgrain face or HZ yellow needle black face?
Cheers Phill

Best bet would be to check out evil bay

just glorious

Thanks.
