This is my 1975 LH GPAK, Mandarine Red & Delta Blue, 202, 4 speed, all stock as a rock. On monday I will be ordering a set of FR17 Simmons in Gunmetal or Gold (havent decided yet).

Those handy with Photoshop please feel free to put Simmons on my car in both colours to see which ones look the best !!!!

Cheers, Mark

FARRRK..Did you buy it like that! That is in seriously good nick! Some 17's would look even better. Good to hear your leaving it as a GPak and not turning it into a "SLR" or "A9x" - Those stripes are so classic :clap:

I'm sure there are better wheels out there other than Simmons. Simmons are abit too common. :rockon:

FARRRK..Did you buy it like that!

yes mate, just got it.

the guy i got it off is the second owner, he bought it when it was 12 months old and has had it for the last 30 years. it was bare metalled and painted 2 years ago and hasn't been anywhere since. It has 175,000 genuine kays.

It also has air conditioning !! i will take a pic of the interior later on.

i will keep it pretty original, although its probably not one of the collectable versions, it is pretty rare nowadays

Mate that is SOOOO schmick. I love it.

Regardless of how much you paid for it, that is a good buy!

More photos, way more photos! lol.
I'll have a crack in photoshop if no one beats me to it, but I'm gonna be working on the car until it's dark, so that may be a little while.

thanks for all the comments guys.
leakey man, that looks friggin awesome. top job. I like the orange mirrors as well. I have the standard mirrors (chrome ones) that still have to go on, but now i'm not so sure

i think i will go with the dark grey simmons, i want to keep the torana stud pattern so i can use the hub caps sometimes also.

Bloody awesome car dude... amazing condition for its age!

If you're considering changing your exhaust, on my old 6 i had a set of extractors, followed by a single 2 1/2" system with a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler on it... i'd recommend that setup to everyone as it sounded insane. Even fooled a lot of people into thinking it was an 8 whereas it was only a stock 186

Cheers!

BoltZ, thanks for the heads up on the exhaust, I'm not sure what i am going to do yet.

torana, gunmetal looks good. looks like ots got white walls on it too

I hope the car will look as good as the pics on this thread when i get the wheels.

what about this one ? I'm not good enough to lower it though !!!!
