Since a young boy iv'e been a big fan of all holdens and have loved them to death, one day when i was driving down past footscray hospital something shiny caught my attention and there she was parked on the side of the road, i was in love, i didn't hesitate to leave a note on the windshield, a few days passed and i didn't receive a call, drove down the road again, saw her and the note was gone, i died a little inside until i received a phone call from the owner telling me i was the luckiest bloke alive because just that week he had decided to sell it, and here she is gentlemen

01-09-11, 22:22 GMT+10#11 nothing, it was just due for re-chroming, i took it to western metal polishing, and it was rusted inside so much that when they zinc coated the bare metal it kept going through some rust, so that bar was rubbish, but didn't find it hard to pick up a new one at Automotive disposals, bought a bar there for 100 bux for the Hk, he stamped it so if the same thing happened i would have returned it, but ye. the new bar is finished just have to go pick it up. heavy as **** when you get it re-chromed, but the key to keeping re-chromed things looking brand new believe it or not is Mr.sheen.

03-09-11, 02:33 GMT+10#15 hey brawlr get you the price when i get my front back, and i dont know PSI-EFI, its more of a cruiser, triple SU's should fry like an 8, but people freak out when they see me come princess, you know unusual for a young bloke like myself to be driving a hk prem on their P's... but see what happens, the front bar is done just have to pick it up so should be nice, ill get more photos up soon.

03-09-11, 08:42 GMT+10#17 really nice car there, I spotted a white one the other day in similar condition
btw mr sheen contains something that will stop new paint from adhering so try not to get any on painted panels, can't remember what it's called

03-09-11, 09:45 GMT+10#18 Yeah, I heard that too Aus880, but you only spray it lightly on close to the chrome, i would cry if my paint oxidized, but ye gentlemen maybe soon i might bring it out to princess considering the weathers picking up.

05-09-11, 11:32 GMT+10#20 Cheers andy na im going to keep it a cruiser if any one has noticed the hk prems come with chome trims around the gaurds and doors mine doesnt have that and i rekon it gives it a more sleeper appeal hence my user name, but ye mate i want to take it to princess once the weather picks up so you guys might see her first hand one friday.
