IJ you certainly don't waste any time & sure no stones will be left unturned! Subscribed & look forward to the progress. The Boys reckon you'll probably develop an awd kit soon

Holden have already developed the kit. Just needs a master tech to fit it all up and make it work.

Be difficult to find a better man than the Op huh!

Won't ever be a "Kit" Mick, too many small details to do it without a Donor car, could be done but it's never going to be "pretty" and I prefer to keep them looking "factory".

LOL let me know when you find one

Dunno about "better man" for the Job Mick, it's all fairly straight forward but not too many people have the space, equipment,skills or the 2>3 weeks needed to complete the job and projects that drag out too long are seldom seen through to the end and usually get sold off, not to mention there's a couple of "got ya's" along the way..

@ least it's keeping you off the streets in your Tradie Tonner.

The "kit" is the already mentioned donor car, that Holden has generously designed for us.

As for a better man to do the job, don't think there would be many out there with the skills, knowledge and integrity to knock these things out like you do.

Mine has been perfect in the 12 months since you converted it. Only seems like yesterday I was leaving two cars at your house and shitting my pants as I drove away. But each step of the way you did what you said and said what you did and I came away super impressed.
If only more shops out there had your old school values and integrity..

Thanks for the kind words D!

Always been a pet peeve of mine how shops treat people, always said if I took a job on there would be none of that crap, in the old days I wandered away from doing cars as people had HUGE plans but very little cash when it came time, doing the Monaro for you changed my mind somewhat as I couldn't have asked for a better person to do this for so thanks!

Have been screwed around a bit in recent history (Evo8) and I almost didn't take this one on after that debacle....

I really only do this as it gives me a chance to play with cool things that don't cost me a bundle hence I just cover costs, every now and again something comes up that gets my interest!

Went down just before Midday with the intention of draining the Trans so I can get an early start in the morning...

OCD kicked in and one thing led to another and....

Too late I'm already retired
