What do you reckon John, coupla months, same price as the ute?  ? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Cheers Doug |

Hi Doug In between wife 1 and wife 2:  .. i was taking out a chick that was driving around in a plain jane corolla... she said she was looking at buying a nice Holden.... Thats when i started to like her more... ;D  Thinking it would be a 1981 or 82 Commodore i dismissed her announcement with a shrug of the shoulders....and... mmmmm that'll be nice dear.  I was sitting at home on my milk crate lounge ( wife 1 deemed she needed the good one when she left) watching telly when she pulled up in the drive with an immaculate HT Monaro..... Dark green with 2 gold stripes over it.. absolutely faultless....  It was during a brief walk around the car when i spotted the "186S"badge....  At the time the 186s monaro was dime a dozen and a LOT cheaper than the V8 Version..... It took me a lot of effort not to ridicule her for buying a lesser version of the marque. I just smiled and said it was nice.... then invited her in for Coffee I have seen Monaros go through ebay as "Garden ornaments"in a LOT worse condition than your car for prices up to $10,000. I wish you well in your search for bits...your gunna need a lot of luck, patience ... and .... money. Regards Reddo |

;D ;D Nice little find there Doug At least they do repo guards for the HK T G  Not like the HR mate made mine up from 3or4 cause I didn't want glass .  Going V8 are we like most or a nice 186S under the bonnet to be different. Try to stick to good orig parts if you can  Those Rear ly do they fit Spares are just that. Brian. |

Thanks Brian and Reddo I have been looking around for a while for a early Monaro that I wouldn't feel guilty about modifying ... This one is a poverty pack 6 cylinder, Kashmir White and Antique Gold vinyl trim, so fits the bill nicely. Plan is to go Gen 3, and 6 speed, with stock body. It will be quite a while till its even started, but its nice to know its there waiting for me ;D ;D ;D Will spend some time trawling about for parts at (semi) sensible prices, the good thing about my plan is that I will "only" need to find body panels and trim, under the skin I am happy to modify away! Cheers Doug. |
