    I think an autoshite identifier would be a car that is so mindblowingly shit that the automotive world hoped that it would pass into extinction but that through blood, sweat, toil and swearing it has been kept alive by a valiant shiter for future generations to enjoy*.

    Still unclear as to Holden's target market? This should do the trick...

    All I know from watching that is I wouldn't want to be within 100 feet of any car on any rolling road, I can't believe anyone would stand directly next to a car doing 100mph plus on a couple of rollers held down with some nylon straps.

    Stretched tyres, an absolutely fabulous* idea, especially when you are going to be maxing your car out on a dyno.

    Here's a stunner (that we might have had before) with those big "come-hither" rally spotlamps, presumably fitted by the "lady owner [who] does not want to drive anymore"
     

     
    but if, like Ulysses, you've strapped yourself to the mast of common sense and resisted the lamps, you will be powerless against the full-leather interior

    Got all the seats in today, driver's seat was already in place as was the lovely new carpet.

     
    Front seat in too.  Needs a bit more of a clean, but I just wanted it in the car, I can clean it properly in situ.

     
    Unfortunately, the back seat is made up of my original seat back and the seat base from the brown Liverpool car as I couldn't liberate the seat back from that car before it got squashed.  A blanket disguises this fact well enough, but I'm on the look out for a correct seat back which should be just about impossible to find.

     
    Fitted the boot rams also liberated from the Liverpool car and applied copious amounts of WD40 to make them work as smoothly as possible.  I'm not sure what's in these rams, but they feel like they have springs instead of oil or gas in them.  They work exceptionally well, at any rate, so I'm happy with them.

     
    While I was in the boot I fitted the tatty trim taken from the car I got the axle from.  It doesn't look great, but it's better than having nothing there at all.

     
    Finally, a picture of the car up at the proper height again.  Looks weird because the front arch liners are removed and there's no black underseal in there.  I'm going to go around and double check everything as I put on the miles, but it seems to be okay.
