The FJ Holden (movie)

Postby aussie muscle » Mon Dec 27, 2010 8:29 pm

This is the 'before' Holden in the movie. It's a typical young person's ride, not much to look at but something to learn to drive. The movie is about a young fella in the late 1970s, partaking in life's pleasures of Cars, Girls and Booze. it's a glimpse into australian life at the time.

The model is ADR resin kit. i didn't bother to detail it, just the 'work-in-progress' paint job. i had to fabricate a rear parcel shelf since they either missed it or never included one.

Still it'd be nice if I had a EJ panel van to do like the one in this movie.
