Hi to all,
I have trawling this forum for a couple of months so I thought i better introduce myself...and try not to offend anyone!!!!

My name is Kyle and I live in Brisbane ,Qld...
I am an aircraft maintenance engineer (Mechanical) working for a large Australian airline.

I also tune anything with an LSX in it in my spare time...also do a lot of LSX conversion work as well.

My current project is a HX Premier made by Holden here in Australia in 1977....only problem is it has four doors...requirement of she who must be obeyed.

Car has been a painted roller for 6 years now:( :mad: ...but already has TR3350,9 inch rear ,bigger brakes ...looking at making a lot of my suspension components as they are quite expensive here to buy after market...

Engine is TBA...will be LSX based no doubt...it is last on shopping list...

I am currently OS with work but will be returning home shortly..will get some pics up .

I will be heading to the US early December for a 3 week vacation ...will be arriving in LA , driving to Pheonix then to Sacramento for Xmas with my wifes sister ...then to Lake Tahoe for a week....New Years Day is already locked in for Sacramento Raceway 40th Annual New Years Race meet...:thumbsup:

Any advice on where to go and what to see in between would be great...be it automotive or recreational....I am looking at picking up a few bits a pieces as I go..

I think my next build will be some American muscle.....:hail: :thumbsup:

Cheers
Kyle

Just a few pics ...dont worry the wheels are not staying...

Colour is factory...not many around like it.
The car isnt a collectable but reasonably desirable.
