V8VANs HQ Monaro build thread

Def worth it, go online and work out the price of the individual parts.... Way more than 4k. Kinda weird how he chose Edelbrock heads with all the rest of the good stuff. AFR heads are the way to go.

Yeah I thought it was an alright price. I realise it still needs a crank, cam, bolt ons, assembly etc but it's a new engine at the end of it and you'd know what's inside it.

Been to qld twice in the last two months, wonder if I can talk the mrs into a trip to Mexico...

Ok, I've got onto the Qld bloke and am buying the running 350 off him. That'll do me for now.

I have spoken to the bloke in Vic though...

Hope it is all good!

Found some original paint on the munro. Happy about that, along with what appears to be the original Flax pinchweld, it points to the tags matching the car

My poor dash though

Anyone used a rares hq dash facia? Need some gts gauges to fill the holes too.

Also, could a mod or admin move this thread to projects and re-title it Hq Monaro or whatever. Saves starting a new thread. Would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Chateau Mauve Metallic with Flax trim. Would have been a nice looking car when new.

Looks a nice Monaro id slap a 5 spd in it if it's a cruiser muncies too dear for what they are and it's not original so no one will know with a std knob and shifter, had a hq Muncie in pieces but no clutch gear so too much gear to find and sold it.
