yeh thats a nice ride, show us some more pics hahaha!!!!

maybe some of interior and engine bay ay mate

[ausrs]

hope this works
do not have to many pictures of the interior yet

[Zeussy]

Faaaarrrkk, not bad for a garage build LOL.. Nah jks.. Its beautiful..

Interior looks schmick as hey,

Still looks trippy seeing the booster on the other side of the engine bay like that.. A bit of that engine bay looks very similar to the HQ I have sitting in the shed!!

I don't think Chevy Monza and Opel Monza share anything other than the name.

Chevy Monza used to be popular on Nordic drag strips in the 80's, pro stock and funny car stuff.

chevy Monza was the first one built and no they do not share any parts ,same as the Torana hatchback BUT the design of both the opel and the Torana were based on the Chev
to much underbonnet heat in my car so i made this up to get some fresh air in to the carby took a while but i am happy with the end result

wow, when i said put up some photos of engine and interior, i was expecting it to look aged and worn out, just because it looked like an old car and i thought you were in the process of rebuilding it, my mistake

that engine bay looks smick, love the paint! very clean interior, i really like the look of this car, a definate head turner

how much it cost to import one of these babies?

if anything that needs to be done to this car, maybe rims?

i could really see a set of these old school looking race wheels,
they really suit muscle cars. i've always liked em

[ausrs]

I have a set of Dragway 15 inch rims to go on the car .........the rims you have up i cannot get ,stud pattern is not normal chev ,it is 4 on 4 inch stud pattern the rims on it at the moment are a modified set of hq rims (lots of modification )
and as for tired and worn ..........it WAS when i started work on in in 2006 ! everything in or on that car is either new or reconditioned no bolt left unturned so to speak

haha yeh full rebuild i can see, very nice. i'm just used to seeing a lot of people rebuilding old cars, and only slapping in clean interior and a fresh paint job and calling it a rebuild. And when you look under the car or in the engine bay, its as old and rusty as it was! you know how it is,

yeh put the dragways on, that rim i put up i just quickly got from google lol, i just meant that general shape and look.

I would love to do a rebuild like this one day, when i finish school, get a career and move out of home, maybe ill have the money, time and space to do this, cant wait!!!!!

this car came from Canada
repaint and neat trim were never going to be an option
i used many rolls of mig wire repairing this car and have the pictures to prove it LOL
you can see a select bunch of pictures of the repairs here

heaps of difference between the before and after photos,

how long did this all take?

[ausrs]

i took 3 years to build it as it was never going full rego and 2009 was the year it could go on to historic rego

Hi I have a 1978 Chevy Monza & I can't find parts anywhere. I was wondering if you could suggest any places to get parts & where in Canada you imported your Monza because I would really like a parts car. Thank you for your time!!!!

[VKCOMMO]
