Wow :o Shes beautiful Kat, you did well in the end :wink:

Funnily enough, we were only asking each other at tuesdays club meeting if
anyone had seen or heard from you.

Great to see she polished so nicely, it looks amazing 8) 8) 8)

Are you looking for club rego, our club can help you out there too. (see the SA section here on the forum)

Welcome back to the forum, and congratulations on finding your dream car :mrgreen:

Cheers

Thanks Kat, we have twins! Got to love Twilight Turquoise.

Lots of people love this colour ... so did Holden, the put Twilight on the front cover of the sales brochure.

Thanks guys

I saw this car at the 50 year Holden Day, and then went and looked at it a few weeks later. The buyer was asking for more than I could afford so I really put it out of my mid. Well then he contacted me in January of this year and said that the price was neg......and the rest is history. A needs a little work under the car, however nothing that it urgent and now that it has new tyres it drives great!!

i have put it on historic rego and yes I am planning to formally join the club - I have just been flat out with work, kids yada yada yada!! hadn't got around to it.

looking forward to some sunny weather so that I can go cruizin!!

thanks again guys

kat :)
