  Todd Kopelke's Datsun1200 Ute

  When Todd Kopelke first got his hands on this Datsun 1200 ute as an unfinished project, it was nowhere near what you see here. For the princely sum of $2700, Todd’s Datto was running a Holden Series 1 V6 motor, but the rest of it turned out to be quite underwhelming by Todd’s standards. With multiple layers and colours of paint over less-than-perfect panels and the usual smattering of body filler, Todd decided that this was going to need the whole nine yards in order to make it into what he wanted, and the results of the build speak for themselves. This comes from a guy who had already had some good results in the burnout world on more than one occasion, winning a couple of times in the six cylinder class at Kalbar and fourth outright in the 2009 Archerfield Queensland Burnout series. With a bit of brassware to show for his efforts, Todd thought that the Datto should shine as well.. . . . Photos by Just Dave Photography

  Issue 4 - Ross Langford - 2005 Holden Commodore VZ SSZ

  Ross Langford is no stranger to tough Holden’s. In the past he’s owned a few cranky Holdens including a HQ Premier with dual headlights and a heavily worked 308/Turbo 400 combo. She wasn’t too flash on the outside but went like a cut cat. Ross Served in the 5/7 Royal Australian Regiment Mechanised Infantry. These brave men and women served in Malaysia in 1986 RCB and defended the air base from attack by communist terrorists. Ross is also the National President of the 5/7 Rar Association and decided to make his car as a tribute to his late wife, his battalion and his solders that have fallen while serving for their country. This 2005 VZ Commodore has the same style as that old HQ but looks a hell of a lot cleaner on the outside. It was built mainly as a tribute to Ross' late wife Mary-Anne who died in a car crash back in 1992. On top of that motive, the car was also planned to be a daily driver that could hold its own on a race track or in a car show.

  Issue 8 - Paul Brush's - 1969 HK GTS Monaro

  The HK is the very beginning of the legend that is the Aussie Monaro. Its classic lines inspired many people across the country and beyond and sparked a racing legend that still holds true today. A fair few of these cars were produced and sold as were their later brothers, the HT and the HG. Paul Brush owned a HG back in the nineties and it was a show stopper and cover car for quite a few magazines. Its name was Mystic Pearl but it was regrettably sold to pay some debts. Ever since then, Paul has wanted another classic and with the re-release of the Monaro in the early 2000s, Paul tried to fill that gap with a late model substitute. But nothing beats a classic and after the birth of his son Darian in 2008 Paul and his family were in the right position to get back that classic.
