Hey guys
I love looking at cars that have started off as pretty much factory and then getting picked up by a car lover and ending up looking amazing or just better than what it originally was.
So post up your pride and joy from as long as you can remember and another one of present day![]()
would love to know and see what "transformation" you guys did to your holdens!!!
thats a mint VK man. I love the new grill you put on it, and them stockies look good with it lowered
nice job I love it how youve kept it original aswell![]()
Was a berlina to start off with and went to like a Monaro style haha. Nice work though![]()
