So finally got the shed cleaned out and put the Torana in.
You wouldn't believe how much treasure I needed to move to get her in - haha!

Time for a beer :)

HK, 32,000 miles, 3 speed, 186

Mate of mine popped into work to show of the "puff the tragic wagon", off to Variety Club Bash tomorrow, Dalby to Mackay over 10 days.. Wish I was goin with him..

(I listed this sometime last year just wondering if anyone has seen one)Mate of mine sent me some old holden sales brochures and I noticed this Nasco blind for the rear of a HR wagon.
Ive never seen one before on earlier models. Just for interest has anyone got a photo of one and were they available for other models?
Thanks Mick

Hi All,

this is my tonner built from the ground up myself started as a rolling shell when i was 12 my old man purchashed for me. unfortunatly he passed away but i continued with the ute which im glad i did. Everything was done at home the only thing which was outsorced was the exhaust which is now gone and i made my own. i sprayed it did all the wiring all the interior built the tray everything im sure its no everyones thing but im pretty proud of it.
it currently is a 202 celica 5 speed 3.36 diff
interior is red and black bucket seats and door trims

161 soon to be a 186 S.

HK Bumpers make great footrests for the bar.. Go well with the piston ashtrays and venetian blinds to block the glare... Next in line will be the 186 coffee table.. Anyone else got any fancy O'H bar ornaments? or ideas?

fuse packets, love the write up on the australux packet, bet we have all done it, tin foil was a get out of jail free card every now and then.

Ever seen one of these?

This a 37 year old holden broadcast. Its got all sorts of details on it about the car i have been wrecking the last couple of days. There is a lot of damage but the VIN number on the paper matches the car. I've attached another pic of the car so you can see what state its in.

Found the paper in the strangest place. Under the brake line on the diff? Is this normal? Or was it 37 years ago i mean?

Hi All,

I posted a teaser here a week or so ago about my eagerly awaited HK Kingswood that was being shipped to me from Adelaide. Well, she arrived. to say I;m pretty disapointed in the car is an understatement. the car was represented as a "rust free" car. that should have been the rust is free. The rear floors from underneath are silicone patched and painted over with body sealer.

I contacted the seller and was basically told its my problem now and if I was unhappy with the car to sell it on....

So, I decided to clean it up and get it all happy as this is to my daily anyhow, so bad went to worse when I peeled the carpet back to expose the fllor and seat mounts, Iv'e gone from sad about all this to highly amused. My HK gives me wood!!! real wood, bahahahahahah

Hello to all. Does any body have information on the colour of my van. Its called adventure surf orange, Paint code is 568-0072. Wondering whether its worth anything in its original colour. Or whether its been used as a fleet vehicle. Pretty loud orange. Had in mind to paint it something different. Hope someone out there can tell me why it has been painted this unusual colour. Cheers.

Found this blue wire loose on my alternator today, can anyone tell me what it should be connected to and is it vital? I know bugger all about alternators.

Cheers guys

Hal
