| History | ||
|
There is not much to say about the Holden Monaro, we bought her from a guy
who was going to restore her, then ran out of time and space. Interior is
in good condition, although she is missing a front windscreen. The motor was already out of the car, which created quite a hassle when we had to transport her, but we managed it, and the spare motor [definitely seized] which the guy threw in for free. The exterior of the car is a bit rusty, mostly surface rust, so it is going to take more elbow grease than actual rebuilding. Original colour was red with black stripes, a bit of the colour is still showing through the surface rust. Potentially a great looking car, as soon as we finish the project. She was supposed to be a project car for my son's, but that didn't quite work out. |
