Default Hello From Australia!

Hi everyone,

I have a 2002 Holden Monaro V2 Series 1. The first of the Monaro's released over here and I believe an earlier model than what you first received in the States.
All the LS based forums over here are pretty much dead now with the demise of Holden so I thought I'd join you guys here.
I'll be rebuilding the engine hopefully in about 6 months time if the trans lasts that long as that also needs a rebuild. I'm trying to put it off as I want to just do both at once. I'll be posting up asking for cam advise shortly so I can start buying what I need.
Here's a couple of photos for anyone interested.
Thanks for having me.

Yes, that's why I'm here. I think by the time you got them they had the updated interior from the later model. Mainly the dash and steering wheel.
