G'day



As you can see the HK was crappy yellow when I got her and most of the pieces in boxes; quite a challenge I tell you, now it’s a custom mix greeny-yellow.




186 in car has a few mods such as exhaust, extractors, 350 Holley, Holden HEI dizzy, head work I’m not real sure of but ports are very smooth and from looking at port design I’ve been told it may have been converted by use of stainless round dividers? Never had head off it but from memory its bores are 40"o.s. guessing the cam is around the 26/65 grind.









Wish list goes on and on but as it goes the money doesn’t. Motor has started blowing lots of blue smoke {continuously when it warms up} got a similar 186 that I’m putting in over the next week or two, matching it up with a 'glide. Who wants a traumatic!? Plan to store present 186 and make her a bit healthier one day when money permits; like a steel crank, starfire rods, slightly larger cam, 465vacsec Holley, maybe 60"pistons blah blah blah.

Changing rooted front seat for a camper bench and trying to keep it as original as I can after that. No intention of putting 307chev back into it, why? Fuel prices, insurance etc etc. Would love to though!







It’s no show car but I own it and ill drive it - as long as I like it that’s all that matters to me.

Cheers mate. wish i had a dedicated daily driver while my project car is getting to rego stage!! as the saying goes"u cant have everything!!". Got to add this though- the photos look better than real life!u get that though.was very lucky that it only required a couple of very minor rust repairs.
like i said" im gunna be the one driving it,so bugger what others think.

Hopefully not more than about 4 wks away from rego stage. but-when is a toy ever finished?! trying to get her regoed a.s.a.p. then keep tinkering away at it.
Having to rely on push bike or girlfriend way too much.
by the way,if its only 186 cubic inches...around-try stroking it!! youknowwotimean!!

Keep chipping away at it - Maintain the passion and the results will come. I love the shape of the old HKT&Gs. I have a HG kingswood I am also doing up SLOWLY! It is getting the injected 5 litre implant but it is mainting the stock look. I bought it for $200 from my father in law and he had it since new. The misses was nearly born in it! Probably Conceived in it!?? Anyway, hopw to see how the progress is going.
