Holden HR Ute (Australia)

[TUCK3R]

Hey everyone

Im Dan from Australia, I have a holden HR ute. Im not sure if you would class it as a hot rod. I am happy to be part of the forum to get some inspiration for my Build. Here is a picture of when i purchased it and where the build is at now.

This is where it is at the moment.

.


My plans for this are
Tidy engine bay and everything looking how it should( to keep police of my back)
leave body as is and sign write it like a delivery ute from a holden dealership.
just make sure its mechanically sound.
everything else piece together as i find things.

nice to meet you all.[cl

hey everyone thanks , the ute will be running an inline 6 cylinder , similar to the american version chev but its only a 202 capacity.it originally came outwith a 186 capacity. Thats where the steering wheel is located in the car. i find it in and akward spot and probally try and drop it a bit with modifying bracket.
