Monaro

This one was built by Ken a few years back its the Pontiac GTO with the resin parts to turn it into the Monaro,he said it was not a easy swap there was a lot of work to do it he is not 100% happy with the out come,as parts did not fit to good.

Looks good to me mate. Bit of a switch isn't it - turning a Pontiac into a Holden! Anyway I reckon it's worked out OK.

Looks the goods to me. When I was in California 18 months ago I went to a "goodguys" car show and there was a GTO there, and the guy had "converted" it to a Monaro, with all the bars, holden badges, HSV airbag, etc. Looked wierd since most here puts chev badges on them

Allan, The conversion part's are from where. I have two of these kit's one of which I was hoping to do as a monaro the other as is. if you can tell me I'd appreciate it. cheer's John.

Looks pretty good to me too

AutoBuff ( John) think you out of luck Ken got the resin parts from Andy at Scale Automobilia and as far as I know you can not buy them anymore don't know who cast them in the first place,you could try Andy,www.scaleautomobilia.com.au to find out more infor or you may find them on e-bay or someone on here maybe able to help,Sorry can't not be anymore help to you.

Allan, Thank you. I'll try hunting this end and work my way up the eastern seaboard. As alway's your help is appreciated. Cheer's John.

I've seen some parts on ebay, might be worth a look. Did shoey mold a monaro front end?

It looks pretty accurate to me Allan, but dont take my word for it, I'm by no means an expert on Holdens.

It could use some side skirts maybe to level off the front and rear bars, but it looks good none the less.

Cheers

don't bother, he can't get any more stock the last time i talked to him.

GTO/HSV is nice, but looks like it had fit issues as you said.

Ken said it did take him some time to sand the resin parts to match up will the plastic body,Oh the purple is a Holden colour too.Oh he also that he has the name & address of who made the parts just got to find were he put it it was on a small sheet of paper,as soon as he finds them will post the infor,maybe able to get some more casted.

Cool. It's not the slight mis-fit of the bonnet and the front bar that bothers me it's the tiny little wheels and tyres. Good to see another Aussie car build.

Ah the bonnet does fit better did not see that it was not on properly untill posted the photos here did not sit it back properly after took engine photo my goof, wheels are the ones from the GTO kit.will get another photo of it.

Allan, I'm having the same issue with the bonnet for mine. Have removed some of the resin here and there underneath to get it to snug down. Modified the stock GTO front to look like the Monaro CV8 version, still a work in progress at the moment. Yours is looking good with Holdens Morpheous Purple A real one at The All Holden Day last year turned up with that colour .

Cheers Ron

Asked Ken about colour,he said its testors purple not the Holden purple.

Very nice, one of the few modern Holdens i like. The parts box sells the bonnet. Now if the front & rear bars are no longer made is it wrong to recast & sell them if you have them ? If not i have this conversion kit if someone wants to recast it, it is in primer though.
