Absolute perfection! if this is ever for sale, tell me!

Awesome looking car and tastefully modified I haven't seen an SL Group A before, how do they differ from the Group A and Group 3?

that is such a neat car my brother would kill you for it haha

Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated. NZ EVLHSV - In a nut shell, HDT produced about 150 of these cars to showcase to Holden what the SS Group A would look and go like. They came in 4 colours (Alpine White, Red, Asteroid Silver and Walton's Blue) and were based on the SL commodore, so not as optioned as the Group 3 and Director. Mine was optioned up from HDT with 16inch Aeros and had the Group A motor and exhaust fitted. However, unfortunately, didn't have the scheel interior. Which was very hard to come by!!! Here's some pics of it in the sun. Don't mind the scoop as its not fitted yet, we're having some issues with clearence cause of the height of the manifold. BUT should be able to sort something out, most likely grind the lip of the base plate off and also shave a half inch off the manifold. Bumper isn't on either, waiting for the pipes to go on so we can sort out plasic welding a cut out to the other side. A couple of all the goodies that have come in from Summit Racing in the states. Some of the motor in the bay....looking at pulling to motor again to weld up a few more holes in the bay Again thanks for the comments guys, really appreciate them.

Hey Guys, Havn't posted anything on here for close to 5 months now so I thought it was time for abit of an update. Got a couple of things done over the last few months....Its a shame that we have other expenses in life and not just the cars! Things that have been done..... - Simmons Colour Coded - Tailshaft and Tailshaft loop installed - Manual steering. All rebuilt and installed - Starter in - Exhaust finshed - Inspection Sheild on And here are some pics...progress will begin again in Feb 2011 as the money tree replenishes.... Colour Coded Simmons - 8inch front, 9inch rear And some pics of her I took during the week..... Dumps havn't been fitted yet...have to sort out the bar 1st and then we'll weld em up.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

colour coding the wheels is the best idea you've had

you reckon kane? i thought they lookd better silver

those simmons look ****ing hot man!

Selling your brakes and Simmons... what's up??

Hey Guys, Long time no post on here for me! Yeh decided to sell the FRs and the Wilwood Brake kit. (Threads: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=235285 and http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=235286). Reason for doing this is I want to repaint the Aeros white and throw them back on and have her looking exactly how she looked when she left HDT, with the addition of the Group 3 scoop. The money that will come from the sale of the wheels and brakes will pretty much finish her off. SO, if anyone is interested please feel free to PM me. Non of the parts have been used, as you can obviously see, the car has been sitting in the garage for a solid 4yrs now! To be honest absolutely nothing has been done to the car over the last several months. Main reason being my wife and I are expecting our 1st kid, a baby boy! So all expenses have gone to pirvate hospital bills and obstetricians etc! So again my beloved Brock has had to take the back seat to something that's infintely more important! Exciting times ahead! So thats the latest! Hopefully have some more meaningful updates as time and money permits!

Congrats on the kid. Any chance for some interior shots too? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i want ur simmons Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

glad it's going back to looking orig, I honestly thought it looked at its best in the first pic of this thread when you bought it go the polished aeros !!

wow this thing is nice Ijust want to keep looking at it.. the simmons did look awesome, but best photo was the first by far Dumpies look good too, and please put the headlight protectors back on for that nice original look again!
