    yep, was a common conversion back in the day. the other 6 cyl used were 149 & 161 GM engines too. I Love the Monaro's, a big Holden fan i am and Land Rover too! Cool, those Trax models are great and yep the detail is superb!

    Chris

    Chris,

    I have slowed down a bit but do have front panels to go on. A bit more tidying up, painting bonnet and doors then its sorting out the electrics and brakes.

    When the weather warms up I will be back into it a lot more

    Top work, Chris - the low gloss paintwork looks just right.

    2 questions -
    • what tyres are those? and
    • how are you planning to attach seatbelts?
    I have seen seatbelt conversions in a couple of magazine articles - one attached direct to the top of the tub capping behind the seats and one with an inertia reel on the tub, feeding through an arm mounted to bring the strap to shoulder height. What do the rules say?

    Thanks for the update and vid
