Hi Guys.
My guess is that Chopper is after the wheels of the 3300 SL model which look like HQ GTS but are Torana pattern.
Did I let the cat out of the bag, Chop ?

I've got enough HQ GTS rims in HQ pattern, along with lots of other rims in the garage. I'm in the process of getting rid of rims, not getting more.

I thought that was just common knowledge, perhaps I know too much about Vauxhalls!

I've already got en EFI 3.3 out of a VK I'll be using. Out of curiosity, do you know much about the system? Never hurts to learn something.

More Ventora stuff.
Big Bertha
A unique version of the FE was the one-off 1974 Holden-Repco Ventora, nicknamed "Big Bertha", built to compete in the V8 class in the touring car championship. Driven by the legendary Gerry Marshall, this car was fitted with a massive race-tuned 5.7 litre V8 Holden engine, and bore little resemblance to the production car except in its overall appearance. However the design was ill-fated, and suffered a major accident after only a few races. It was considered too big and too heavy, and had serious handling problems, even in Marshall's capable hands. Eventually it was decided to build a new, much smaller car around the same engine and chassis (much shortened) and this car was given the sillhouette of the "droopsnoot" Firenza. Nicknamed "Baby Bertha", this car was very successful went on to dominate the sport until Vauxhall moved from racing into rallying in 1977.

Just thought I'd show this....
It's from a 1973 Ventnor. Not originally what I was ( and still am ) after, but it probably would look better than the stock UC tail lights.As I said, I'm still looking for a Vauxhall dismantler. Will travel interstate for the correct parts if needed.
