Woohooo!! I do feel privileged!  Its a good idea as I am sure there are plenty of people that have an interest accross all the early Holdens, but you have to draw the line somewhere in how many vehicles you own! Thanks RET Cheers Doug |

Thanks Dave the flames are airbrushed by the same guy that painted the ute, very talented fella! Progress pics, the air cleaners have been a bit of a project to get looking right to my eye at least - they are part of an upgrade to a fully sealed PCV set up, I am sick of trying to keep up with cleaning up oil vapours!  Trans cooler (had to make a scoop, its sits about 25mm below the front bar), there is no space for one anywhere else!  And Dave, now theres a spot to put up your FJ Ute! Are you on the FX FJ forum too?? Cheers Doug |
