kingswood-before2s
Given to me by my Grand mother is the faithful old family chariot. Our 1976 HJ Kingswood. Which has been in the family since 1979. She runs the original 202 column shift trimatic with a bench seat. This is what she looked like when i got it.

When i went poking i found some small rust bubbles here... Looks like a previous repairer has blocked one of the drainage holes causing this.

Boot floor is buggered. But luckily i scored a NOS boot floor for $90 to weld straight in.

The original engine was removed around 3 years ago and i had it machined 20 thou and decked. It has been sitting oiled up like this since then. I gave it another oil just the other day.. Looks nice and shiny.
