dontsleeponit your garage doesn't look too bad. I've seen worse.

Ps love the Pontiac GTO! It always freaks me out a little to see an Aussie car (designed and built in Australia and sold as a Holden Monaro long before they were sold as a Pontiac) with the steering wheel on the left hand side.

Jader2012 - have a look at the thread below:

thanks man

unfortunately when they brought the design over here to the states, they got rid of alot of the nice things the monaro had to offer

slide out cup holders
digital climate control
navigation option
the stupid gas tank relocation leaving me with a joke of a trunk
VZ monaro wheels

the list goes on...
and the monaro front bumper is sexy too

Man they nobbled it! The gas tank was to meet some weird US regs as I recall but can think of no reason why they stripped out the rest. The Monaro was the closest thing I've seen to a European GT car (in the true sense of the word) and, sadly, they are no longer made over here. Sold for big $$$$ here as well.

Must congratulate you on your knowledge of the Aussie GTO. Most Americans I know wouldn't have known it was from Oz let alone what was different (no offence intended whatsoever to americans - my best friend lives in Missouri!)

you'd be be surprised, there are lots of people over at ls1gto.com that are in love with the monaro and try to get their hands on as much monaro stuff for their car as possible, they are into the ausi car way more then me. I dont really like alot of the HSV stuff, to wild looking for me. But you'll find plenty of Monaro "conversions" there, from interrior stuff, body stuff, all the way down to emblems and such.

hey as long as my car came with the LS2 and some nice leather I was happy :cheers: I did nab the monaro VX tail lights though, I like them better then any US offerings

sorry for the hijack jader

That place is gorgeous! Very professional looking, If I were a consumer looking to have a car detailed I would NOT hesitate to bring my car to a place like that.

Good luck with the business, and looking forward to see pics of it up and running :cheers:

Not to mention some seriously good taste in products. I spy Fusso Coat, Fireglaze, CarLack, UltraGloss and Renapur for the Leather amongst the more common, but still good, Swissol, Duragloss, Clearkote and Einszett.

Great range and great setup!
