With the chassis at the sandblasters it was time to start pulling the fittings off the hull. We set it up on two large saw horses which gave a bit of room underneath but did not make the hull too high to work on.

The Blitz in the back ground is a C60S, WO-78, No.6 Artillery Tractor to tow the 40mm. Bofors Anti-Aircraft gun, a project for the future (maybe).

The grey vehicle on the left is a rare one. It is a fully optioned 'HJ' Holden GTS wagon. One of 4 built for GHM executives in 1974. It has all the Monaro extras including a 308 V8, M20 gear box and 3.6 limited slip diff vented guards and full Monaro interior. I suppose you could call it an 'HJ Holden GTS Monaro Wagon', but it was never released as such. I restored it for my No.1 son but he did not look after it and I so took it off him 14 years ago.

Regards Rick.
