But could easily have been so from back in my parents day

my little fella has heard the "cars 3" movie is out
and yes he thinks my HJ Prem would look "cool" like this

We got a hole in the EH radiator.
The radiator bloke in town said he could do a rebuild with a new copper core. The old radiator was 13 years old and the salt air up here does horrible things to copper.
I think he made a mistake. I think he put a gold core in considering what it cost, $690.
I could have bought four and bit ebay aluminium radiators for that, but this one fits, has mounting holes, doesn't leak and is guaranteed for longer than the ebay ones will probably last.

Last weekend, i loaded up the Kingswood with parts and half of my surfboard collection on the roof. Drove it up to Clybucca. Weather was terrible but the old girl went well.
I didn't see another old holden on the road which is sad. It wasn't that long ago it seems that every second car you'd see on the road was a H series holden :(

Hey guys

Been a few years between posts but good to see the page still going! The old ute I had so much help from O.H is still a goer and just passed the 8 years on the road mark and is still daily driven 😊

Keep em crackin!

My father-in-law's Holden bodied 1936 Buick, taken in the mid 1940s.
He rebuilt the motor on the living room floor in their housing commission house in Guilford, NSW. Couldn't afford a shed, so it was the only place he could do it.
Knowing him, there would not have been a spot of oil or grease anywhere in the house when he was finished. Knowing my mother in law proves that fact because she didn't kill him for dirtying the house.
