      Wow what a beautiful and unique car! Ive always been facinated with Holden, so similar to other GM vehicles, but their vehicles have such a unique non-US style to them.

      After seeing what a stock Ute looks like, yours looks fantastic (although even in stock form they are quite neat). When I saw the first pic I figured I had no idea about what the car might be like, but after looking at the underhood shot it's all so familiar to cars that I work on everyday here.

      I worked on a GTO the other day, which is of course Aussie made by Holden. I thought of you for some reason, even though you dont know me, but I've been lurking on the site for so long I am familier with you and where you live, so I guess that was the mental connection lol

      BTW the background shots in your pics are amazing too, New Zealand is such a beautiful place, I would love to visit some day, however my eyes would hurt from staring at all the different cars

      I dont think I could drive a car there though, I couldnt get used the the steering wheel on the wrong, I mean other side

      Nice car, good job!

        But time will tell . . .

        A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

        If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

            Wow I like the new pics too! The center picture against the wall of graffiti is a neat shot too, it adds color to the whole picture, as if your car doesnt pop pretty good as it is.

            Ive been trying to figure out what the small circlular lens things are near the bottom of the headlight assemblies. Are they a light of some sort, or pop out washer maybe?

              They are just the park lights, Not sure why they did it (the facelift model (VZ) excluded them) But it was genuinely one of the things that made me love this model (VY)

                ...and that's bad because? Other than those silly anti-hooning laws.

                Needs more blower man...don't all Australian cars have blowers sticking out of the hood? I think there's an Australian movie or something with a guy with a supercharger driving around real fast. I'm using that movie to base my assumption that all Aussie cars have blowers.

                    These things are so bad ass. The El Camino lives on!

                      Because it always tries to catch me out when it drifts sideways and then a cop appears
                      I havn't been pulled over yet thankfully, but not having the option of traction control genuinely sucks sometimes.

                      I thought about a blower, but I really think I'd be happier with twin turbos, Imagine the torque

                      Thanks Man, I really should go out and do more of those, just to show more of the NZ scenery round here.
