Is the race-only, or a street car? If the latter, is it a right-hand drive, and how was the conversion done? Please share some pics as you head into summer...
I got lucky and found a lightly-used Pontiac G8 GXP - one of the Holden Commodore HSV models with the LS3 and six-speed manual. It's a blast to drive, but I can't part with my Malibu 6.6L coupe and 5.7L estate projects...and my wife is soon going to make me choose....
Let me know if I can help find some parts for you. Maybe we can swap a few bits for our respective rides.

Do you know the history of how your 31-year-old Monte came to Australia? Did you import it yourself? Still left hand drive after all these years...I heard that the Man requires conversion to right hand drive within one year of import or some such thing.
I drove a Mazda 6 estate in the UK this summer and all was well except the tire sidewalls on passenger side. Clutch pedal was in the same place but my brain was not calibrated to judge distances correctly when sitting on the right... ; )

The car has only been in the country a short time,the person who imported it was going to turn it into a lowrider but changed his mind and brought a Lincoln.it's never been registed in oz,cars 30 years and older can stay lh drive.found the build sheet under the back seat,no US history on the car.
