Hey Bluez,
I just say the whole transformation from 80337 to 81837.
Now that looks like a real monaro, oh my god!!
Cant wait to see it with the stripes.
All i can say is that this car will certainly be a neck snapper on the road.
You just gave me even more enthusiasm to get mine looking like this.
Great job, mate.

That looks awsome and it is a credit to you to take on a resto on that sort of car.
We have all seen what sort of prices Monaro parts can fetch thus making a job like this that bit more difficult. The finished product looks great in that color with the stripes.
Good on ya and at least its a real Monaro and not one of those ugly 2 door Crappadore types.
Stay cool.
Why would you go to all the trouble of rebuilding a car - with all the original mistakes!

Thats a beautiful looking coupe. I have an Ermine white (originally) HK coupe and Id love to "mod" it to the Warwick yellow. I dont think any other colour suits a HK better! Matt www.monarotraders.com |

Thanks guys. New editions are the red walls and wheel arch mouldings which pretty much is it for the exterior. Had these done just in time for the Monaro Nationals in Ballarat where this pic was taken. Thanks to my brother and my hard work we picked up a placing in our class.

wow what a stunner, we have a warwick looking for a good beater and painter for it, ur in NSW let us know if your keen, we are looking at just outside freshen up rust in usual places but a complete car
I agree warwick is the best colour in HK Range, then I love Verodo in HT, Sebring in HG, once wanted one of each then the boom hit, when we got the HK it was afforable to find the other two
for 15k now add a zero

Just had another look...................again a very nice car.
Hey HZ Premier my preference is bright blue metallic for hk, ht daytona bronze or platinum metallic and hg would be cameo gold or maybe lakeside green.
Anyone know of anything for sale ? ?
