Scroll to bottom for the picture's
So iv'e been doing a father son project for 2 years now, working on a track car.
It's a Holden statesman. It's also road worthy so you can drive it to the shop's and back if you have 50 buck's on you. I live in Australia so we got a good one for around 5k.
So we wanted to put a 360 engine into a statesman. People found it funny but it was a challenge. Cost me 5k for the engine but my dad paid for the rest (dolor for dolor).
btw I'm 19 but we always wanted to do a project on a car like this.
And my job was looking for a bodykit. Now i was not looking for some crazy bogen looking kit. But I found a good looking one from the state's for 400 took around 3 week's to get here.
I won't go into the taking out and putting in of the engine. But it took more than an month to get it in because of the cutting we had to do for it to fit. My dad did the paint and accessories.
Long story short here are the picture's I took after the show we took it to . Got second place.
soz about the grammar

I wouldn't be seen dead in that thing.
The rims are not cool everything else looks ok.
The car looks funny it will certainly turn heads.

Yeah haha . You won't see me driving it to any shop's . But I own a skyline r33 and I drive that atm . But I found that you can't ship then to the state's because they are banned or something. So it stays in aus for the meantime.
