That's lovely.
Didn't know they done Monaro's earlier than the one on the right.
I'd have early over modern all day.

yes indeed
you could also get a torrana...an escort sized car with similar lines
or as we in the UK woulkd know it an HC viva with a 3.3 litre 6 or a 5 litre v8
but the modern v6 turbo version came to nothing
even if it was Mangenta in colour

All good I hope, was no stranger to being spoken about by the local copper when I was a young bloke but grew up and left all that behind me.

Very kind of you to say Steve but hidden in the shed or in a photo from distance hides a lot of imperfections.

Still the way it is in the 2nd pic.
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.

Just as well that it is an Aussie car and has a boot instead.
