    2nd Coming - HX Mandarin Red Windowless

    I sold my windowless HJ in the late 90's and have always wanted another. After accumulating parts over the past decade, I've finally started to bolt some bits together. Fresh (repaired) radiator support panel and guards went on today to an old body that I picked up a while back. New rubbers going in as I go. It's a HX, 253, 4-sp, Kingswood. Plan is to paint it mandarin red, black interior, GTS wheels.

    Guards are on to align with the cowl, and skirt. They will come off again this week to paint the insides.

    Great to see another legend being bought back to life. I am in the middle of bringing my HZ Sandman back from the brink. Very rewarding

    A Hint of Colour

    Got some colour onto the guards and nose cone this week. The plan of attack is to get these fiddly bits done then paint the entire car (with panels fitted) down the track.
