Yes looks good just a few cosmetic things could be touched up.
The 253 can go quite well for a small v8 but it would have to be quite a monster to justify the 800cfm carb.
Should drive well as the HZ chassis had the better steering geometry (RTS) than the HQ, HJ & HX.
I'd have it if I had the space and cash.

Looks like it could have a horror story underneath with the way the paint has bubbled.........

A lot of money for what looks like a FE Ventora with serious hidden rust.

Front is HJ HX HZ premier or statesman the 4 headlight fronts (all the same panels).
WB were a different set of panels again for the front clip.
Could bore you with more details. There are lots of subtle changes from factory HQ.

Oh yeah, the Statesman, WB had the one piece light.

Spot on! The earlier models had round lights.

is yours the one the old toenail cutter drove in mad maximus ????????

Yep.

That one was a base model HQ Monaro (2 head lights) with a 202 ci six and a duck tail spoiler as was fitted to the later HX 2 door. Oh and a rocket up its arse for the crash scene.
Mine started life as the HQ LS Monaro (4 headlights and higher trim level) also a six pot.
