More stuff collected over the winter....

Tony. Yes you did buy one. Worth having a go in one then

Are you badging it as a Pontiac GTO ? Although steering wheel badge is Holden not the HSV one
I do like that Blue they did for Australian ones

Yes meant to say both the HSV and Pontiac 6.0 were badged GTO

Yes, both that's the intel I got from Julian Q at HSV also.

It's been a while, so by way of an update. The car has been to Monkfish for a service and MOT (MOT not due but wanted to coincide with service), plus other bits and bobs. Car has now done 19k miles and has increased in value according to MF valuation which is nice to know! Had naff Parrot installation removed ditto economiser over steering wheel boss. Wheels are fine, but may get them refurbed let's see.

[steve2568]

19k, thats obscene. Nice to see you are still enjoying the car

If that's gone up in value does that mean 120k is worth more again

[tvrtuscans]

Yup, really good. A complete hoot as they say!

[tvrtuscans]

Latest news is that am getting the car rust proofed at the mo and the wheels refurbed - they wern't scuffed just needed a spruce up. Can't wait to get it back!

[tvrtuscans]

Monaro arrived back yesterday. Fab job, snaps to follow.

[jmn]

Could I ask who did the rustproofing?
Good job?

[tvrtuscans]

My paint man did it actually. He has a body shop that restores some very exotic machinery and he did his apprenticeship at Vauxhall, so I figured he would know where all the problems were likely to arise. I think he has done a good job because his paintwork is fabulous. He didn't use much wax oil but I figure he was being precise as to where he was applying it. It's great that it's a hot day today as the waxoil will be busy wicking into all the nooks and crannies as we 'speak'!

[stu vxr]

Wax oil? Surely you can't think this is up to the job? I have followed your thread with great interest but I certainly wouldn't use wax oil to rust proof anything you must be talking of a different product?

[tvrtuscans]

You are correct. He did mention a different product but TBH couldn't quite remember the product name...age creeping up on me!!
