My series 1 Snowy

Havent been on here for a while. Havent started on Snowy yet has ive been busy modifing and getting my hilux engineered over the past few months. Ive finally finished doing that and have cleared/sold all the hilux left overs so now have room to start the resto.
Holden 6 will be coming out of snowy in the next couple of weeks, them im sending the firewall off to get restored. No great rush to get it finished but atleast itll be a start. Once i actually start doing something ill update this thread with pics.

Reminds me of the great hullabaloo over that TV advert where Toyota claimed they had " built the snowy scheme"

The ad was pulled after the ABC exposed the fraud on one of those great shows they have .

Its still fun shutting down the occasional Toyota owner who trys that line on.

Well im still at it slowly, very slowly. Been fiddling around with Snowy of late and starting to get somewhere. Still in the stripping down stage and collecting bits but i have some motorvation now. Hopefully have it down to a chassie soon then start from there.
