The Pink tudor with the chopped roof looks sweet

. Thanks for sharing the pics. All these cars belong in the fully sick section.

The first photos I saw of the chopped two door were from the Summernats.

Then Ian Campbell bought it, he fitted a set of my Cruzin skirts and frenched headlight covers.

Some time later he moved to Queensland and eventually Darryl Miller ended up with it for a year or so.

The next owner was a Surfer, and the last time I saw it was possibly five or six years ago on the coast near Tweed Heads. It had a couple of boards on the roof, the Cruzin skirts were not fitted but someone had made what seemed to be badly fitting clip in rear side windows from perspex.And the car looked in need of some attention

The pillarless is bloody awesome , Realy grabs the chevy lines but keeps it all Holden .
Dont worry this one will never die ,it'll be saved by an enthusiast (if I can find it

)
A mate of mine Chuck said he had something to do with that one but for the life of me I cant remember what .
Love your work

it must have been after i sold it cause me and the other guy in the photo did everything on that car in my backyard i sold it to a truckie who pestered the shit out of me after i went to his house to buy a fuel sender
ian campbel was caught out a number of times at different shows telling people how he built it that i know of he put a shitty looking grille and the fender skirts on it
i missed out by about an hour on buying it back about 2 years ago as far as i know someone up in queensland still has it and someone along the line put a glass windscreen in it

Is the current owner of the convertible 'SMU-OOV' on the forum?

I saw that car approx six months ago, it was at a mobil servo near french's forest (north side of sydney). It was there getting a pink slip so it must be on the northern beaches somewhere.

I had a pretty good look at it, the owner wasn't there when I saw it. It looked pretty much exactly the same as it does in the photos, same colour, same moon discs on the wheels same everything.

Nice work btw (that pillarless rocks too)

Hi Mick,

Do you know where the first picture was taken, it's the one with the white EK wagon in it.

Regards,

Tony
