Hx Kingswood

[Curran]

Hey guys was wondering if anyone can give me any ideas on what to do to my kingswood.











sorry bout the sizes didn't know how to make them smaller

[LordMayhem]

first. put some springs in the rear to stop it dragging it's arse.
then twin headlight front, gts fluted guards, 308, wack some dragway 5 spokes on it and put a gts dash in
mmmmmmmmmmmm windsor blue now that was one nice factory colour!

[greenfoam]

I think it's towed one too many caravans

[ari666]

take the 'p' plates out of the window then put a BBC in it.

oh its pollution... LOL. fail.

Put some springs in the back of it and resize your pics to make them more view friendly.

Definately don't do this....

[ari666]

wack some dragway 5 spokes on it and look like a bush wacker

*sigh* going from jelly beans to dragways.............

........

Yeh, i'm trying to work out which is worse....I think they are pretty much on par though, crap.

[Curran]

thnx guys, there is springs in the rear atm but theyre raised springs so its sitting like a 4 wheel drive
gotta wait a while till an 8 gets dropped in as only on p's and am not even allowed a permit for a small 8

yer was thinking bout the twin headlight front

LordMayhem its actually just in the process of being sprayed to Atlantic Blue, it was a crappy burgandy

but yer thnx for the ideas

also just wondering what are the solid wheels called?

[ari666]

stock steel rims? trust me, chev rallies look MINT on these cars.

[Blown V6 Hatch]

Agreed. Either rally rims or dump it over a set of GTS rims.

[ari666]

ok, ill pay GTS, but the prob is the GTS rims for the LE are those crappy honey comb ones and they make me wanna puke.

[Curran]

hmmm thnx might have to go hunt up a set of the rallies i think

also this is the actual height of the car

They're just "LE" rims not GTS rims. Those honeycomb rims were only used on HX LE Monaro's, that's it (I agree though, they're hidious). GTS rims are what i've got on my ute (mine are 15" and widened though).

[ari666]

canterbury tyres have em' new and about 175 each i think. there is also a set on ebay atm in adelaide for 600.

[LordMayhem]

gts rims would have to be the most ugly rim holden ever made. hell i would have the standard rim over them!
oh and make sure the tyres have raised white lettering

[VSHeaven]

Looks reasonably straight from the pics considering its age. What else has been changed apart from the HZ bootlid? Much rust? Would be a pretty good basis for a project car. What direction are you considering? Original or serious mods?

Nooooooo - dished GTS wheels are win. As are the honeycomb Pontiac wheels. Either on a slightly lowered H series kingo are all it needs!

I hate Prem twin headlights & Bumper over riders!.

Lowered over GTS rims are the go either that or the standard style steel wheels with the small HQ hubcap.

Coming from someone who loves Fagways, i find that quiet amusing really...LOL @ white lettering.

Reaper, that GTS looks horn. Probably 1 of only 2 cars i would have in yellow (the other being a Warrick Yellow HK Monaro). Also, the only place GTS flutes belong, on a GTS...

[ari666]

im sorry, but the honeycombs just look out-and-out spew material.

i know its a classic, i know its standard. i would rather look at someone elses vomit for an hour than look at that LE for another 2 seconds

My brother has a blue one. nfi what color it was originally - pitty he has indy pro's (I think thats what they are called) on it. Would love to get my hands on that car.

Yeh, nice (other than the wheels ofcoarse ). What model GTS? I'd love a HQ or HX GTS or a HQ SS.

I think it's a HX 4 door. Might be a HJ - who'd know without looking at the plates.

ahh bootlid, also did at one stage have modified vt seats but they have been changed to the hj bench seats, replaced the bonnet from memory, but thats it. nah not much rust at all had 2 panels repaired and that was it. ahhh considering serious but atm would prefer along the lines of original-ish. after the next three years are up gonna drop an 8 in but still unsure of what one to do yet
