Default Had to share what I saw on holidays....

I recently spent a few days up north with a mate.....while I was there he's telling me that one of his friends is restoring a Holden Torana and has asked him around to check out progress so far....
So off we go....mind you, Im not expecting much (its only a Holden after all) but my mates telling me that hes also got a nice Monaro and he's also pretty **** with his cars.....
You'd think the letterbox would give it away??....
he proudly shows us his genuine, an almost period correct HT 350 GTS!!.....a beautiful car!!
How about the BBQ???
Looks awesome sticking out of the patio wall...lol.....
Then theres the Torana.....not strictly factory correct but a beautiful resoration anyway.....
Very impressed I can tell you...

Love the letterbox, much better than the usual box on a crank you see sometimes.
The HT and matching bbq is awesome and i'd kill for a Torana like that.

But to be honest, its the white tiled shed floor which got my attention.

Same here BENT 8.
I saw the floor first and straight away got the impression this guy is a perfectionist.
