    Am currently finishing of the floor. Been using/recycling the steel out of an old Commodore bonnet for most of the flooring, but just ran out of that, but as luck would have it, a mate gave me a big piece of sheeting he didn't want, so should be finished that in a day or 2. Then begin repairing...

    Stupid me didn't take a before shot of starting on this, but here you can see repairs in progress. I cut a round hole in inner here because of the setup I will use for speakers. I have some old headlamp buckets I will use in the holes either side & mount my speakers in them.

    This pic is when it landed at home THE FIRST TIME. (I had to move house a while after this due to a divorce, so it traveled again) These models were released through the Holden arm of GM here in Australia. This little badge is on the lower left side of the cowl, but it won't remain there as I...
