Street Machine Australia — January 2018

(Romina) #1
WHEELS: George was undecided about
the wheels for some time, even toying
with the idea of going for deep 15s with
drag-spec beadlocks. “I was after more of
a resto-mod look, so when I came up with
these Welds, they were perfect,” he says.
They also work especially well with this
colour combo. “A lot of people I showed
were sketchy on them, and I reckon they
might not work on a yellow or green car,
but they really tie my car together”

LEFT: It’s not unusual for hot Monaros to
be jam-packed full of aftermarket gauges,
but George’s HT eschews such adornments.
In their place is a touchscreen supplied by
FAST as part of the EZ-EFI 2.0 self-tuning
fuel injection system, with read-outs for
important stuff like revs, coolant temp, air
temp and battery volts, among others

INTERIOR: There’s not much of
a story to tell about the interior – or
is there? “This is the interior that
came with the car,” George laughs.
“We did the carpet, but the seats had
been done back in the day.” George
considered re-doing everything and
going for the classic red vinyl, but
realised it wouldn’t suit the look he
086 STREET MACHINE was after
