It A 1966 HR Holden Special.

The 186 has a 202 crank, a mild cam, yellow terra head, 350 holley, extractors 2" exhaust and LPG. There is a small amount of rust in the body and two small holes in the drivers floor a small dent in the rear drivers quarter that is an easy repair and a dent in the boot lid.

Also a bit of rust in the boot.
Going to start by cutting out & plating the rusted areas.
Small repair to the bench seat.
Then going to lose the Jellybean mags & replace them with stockers & caps.

Repaint it, yet to decide on colour.
Then use it as my everyday driver......

Only has a 3 speed on the tree atm, so will replace that down the track with 5 on the floor.
And the brakes are drum so will change them out to discs.

I cut the boot & drivers floor rust & a wow I suck at welding...
Looks like I had a flock of seagulls shitting on my floor.

So until I sort someone out to weld it neatly for me I have done an unskilled patch job consisting of rivets....
