It's going to be a restoration, with no gastly body mods or any weird stuff. These cars have such an elegant shape in my opinion they don't need any changes.
It will be redone in Silver Mink with the GTS stripes, stock wheels and hub caps, but dropped nice and low with a healthy stroker chev, glide and 9". Lovely : )
At some stage someone has started the resto and done quite a lot of filler work, which actually felt really good and straight, but they left it in bare metal and it rusted, so it's all got to come off. I'll strip the primed areas back to metal too so I know exactly what I've got here.
I'll have to get a bigger shed just to make room for all the stuff that came with it : )
Australia never produced a car that looks any better than this. Probably shouldn't say that on a torana forum hahaha.
Well me being me I couldn't help but have a bit of a play with it, so I started stripping back the drivers side rear quarter.
Someone has had a fair go at fixing what was obviously a fairly decent hit, but in areas the filler was a little thick for my liking, so I'll try and hammer some more of it out.
I also found this lovely fibreglass filled rust hole where the rear part of the rain gutter goes. Nothing too drastic, but this was bogged over, which is exactly why I always go back to bare metal.
This area will take quite a lot of work to get right, but hey, it's an HK monaro so it's worth it : )
I just like this next pic.
Well there wont be progress until next year, as I want to get the camaro finished over the xmas break. But after that I'll strip this right back and see what we find.
