oi douche,
good luck with the ute, I'm a big fan of hks and would love to see how this ends up. Do you use oldholden as well as jc?

[Static89]

i dont use old holden to much, i am on it tho, it will be a good project once im done, im not doing much to it at the moment. im waiting to concrete the yard and put a shed in ebfore i really hook in with it.

[SquishyShoes]

Keep us posted then. It could take a while though, it took us a year or two to put our shed (but we had to put up with council restrictions and s**t like that). Good Luck.

I love EVERYTHING about this, except the idea to remove bench seats. There's nothing quite like sliding from side to side while drifting around a corner

[Static89]

lol mort, i have decided to leave the bench in it, and keep the manual on the column and just put a carb 8 in it. and just upgrade the box.

+1 Bench seat has more charactor.

For a HK ute rust doesn't look to bad.... usually with these series are utes the tray is rusted to buggery.

When you say "left it with my mate" does that mean temporarily left, or permanently left...?
Cars are like children, you can't just abandon them!!
