That looks great, dosnt look like body needs much, is that a HR front end in it ? I can't believe how cheap they still are given they were the 1st Holden and there's not many left, watch the values skyrocket when factory shuts next year, I should get one, I have a spare 5.0 in the shed :)

Yeah body is really good, few days work to get it pretty spot on I reckon!

Yes HR front end, and it has brackets on the front for Torana rack which ill be using, and a later model diff which I should be able to use mounts from for the commodore diff conversion!

Its certainly cleaned it up alot but i'd say its going to need a sand blast to get it to a usable state, if nothing else at least now they are handlable without wanting to spew!
