I am the second owner

was bought in the first week of 2005 totally stock from an old lady in mandurah for a large sum of one thousand seven hundred dollars
only mod on it was a two channel alpine tape deck (suited me perfect cause i was putting in an alpine four channel CD/MP3 player)

Original specs are

Engine: 308
Gearbox: th400
Diff: salsbury 2:7 ratio open
suspention:standard
wheels: 14" steelies with hubcaps

these are the first photos i took

outside
Posted Image
Note 17" rims with 235 federals

inside
Posted Image
note the mpf armrest / speaker pods i made
and sheep skins

I then upgraded the suspention with lowered springs and Koni shocks.
Put a bit of a stereo in and then looked into getting the interior retrimmed
Posted Image
first was the door trims. but the seets took a little while so i put black seat covers on,

new pastel shelf came next
Posted Image

and then there was some chrome added to the engine bay, and a edelbrock performer manifold
Posted Image
and along with a quick respray it entered Motivation 2007

couple of months later came the seats
Posted Image

later that year i aquired some brocky b class heads, they had a 2mm head shave. so there was a fair few mods to do to the intake, but because of the raised compression number 8 cylinder went pop.. there was no reading on a compression test.

so in comes the 350 vortec crate engine

then came a strip down for a new respray and rust repair

mmmm flames

and can someone say shiny?
Posted Image

and a nice new head lining
Posted Image

next was the nice new boot install
Posted Image

then Motivation 2010
Posted Image
Posted Image

after motivation there was a few paint issues.. they had to fix a run and a rust spot. but when they put the pearl on it was a different colour.

so they had to repaint the whole car

that comes upto date as she is now. accept for the new center concole i am making :D

Thats awesome, man! I can easily see the love and dedication you've poured into it! I cant wait to see it in the flesh, sadly I missed the last cruise :(

I love me old Holdens, but I try to keep that a secret :P

You have made me all sad now reading this. I miss my HJ Prem Wagon being on the road. I love my old Holdens. :(

If you need any parts mate, let me know. :thumbsup:
