    My new project. HQ GTS

    The HQ arrived on friday and very happy with it. Car has the usual rust on the doors and the guards but the driveline and the interior are in good condition.
    Motor is a 308 with cam, yella terra stage 3 heads, blueprinted and balanced.
    I was surprised at the power and the torque.
    On the soon to do list is get all the rust repaired and a new paint job and duel exhaust.
    Have already purchased number plates.

    Here's some pics.

    Thank's guy's. Yes it will be repainted in the original colours. Mustard is the actual name of the yellow with warrigal black stripes.
