Here we go with my brothers's HZ 1 Tonner tray top with a conversion to a VQ injected 5.0 auto.

The car was purchased from country SA for $1,200.
Engine = 202
Trimatic column shift
Bench seat.
Gas system - already removed

It will be painted yellow :)

No not a tilt tray.

Just finished doing all the electrics - Gee they had been hacked at.

Motor is out and already delivered to the scrappies

Pretty cool mate, chuck up some pics of the rest of the car!

Only thing I'm not too keen on is the tray/mudflaps. Don't suit it imo.

all the checka ally will go and in it's place will be tool boxes and pull out trays. will also get an extra tank for real long trips out into the SA country side :)

Motor is just about done now - welsh plugs and oil pump to go. Then it's the few wires to make her go.
