My spot for the weekend (only one I took a pic of).
I saw a HG sedan and 4 XY Fords, an Austin Healey and a Zephyr whilst driving.

NOTHING!!! as usual.
BTW i reckon this is a great idea Al.
Oh tell a lie, I was over at my oldies today and mum pulled out an old photo album for my kids to look through.
There was a pic of me washing dads near new VB SL/E with the 253. Arctic white with the green velour interior.
BTW it had those stupid headlight wipers. (Well i thought so back in 1981). I suppose they'd be pretty cool today

This is from the FB/EK forum. It has good pics of the process of putting a Torana front end in an EK. All early Holdens would be basically the same process.

I saved it long ago for future reference. I don't think it would cost any more than an aftermarket front end and would probably give a better result.

now that old bus would confuse some at the lights!..I've notice many people go out of their way to not get behind you when driving an old car..because they think its a POS and wont go fast...in my case with a stock Low Comp 161 they are right lol...but the FC with a 5litre would surprise them...ps my 308 Statesman can usually keep up with most basic 4 cylinders but at huge fuel expense :-)
