Hi, my name is Allan. This is not my car (I have a Sandman, see last photo), it's my Dad's, Kevin. He owns the car and we both put in a lot of time and work. It was brought a few years ago as an unfinished project and turned into the car you see here, Australia's BEST monaro (Show Class) as voted in the Monaro Nationals at Bathurst 2004. Please take some time to have a look at the pictures and leave some comments in the guest book. Thanks, enjoy!

I haven't updated this site in over 12 months. So I though I'd better do something about it. I'll be adding a sh*t load of new photos, including pics of the new rims and interior and Kev's THIRD monaro (also a HT 350 GTS). So keep checking back over the next month or so for some new photos and details on the stuff that has changed. Cheers!

We put some different rims and fatter tires on the Monaro to see how they looked. The rims weren't all that flash, but the fatter tires looked great. They filled up the arches a lot more and made the car look more TUFF !

Finally TUFFHT has been down the quarter mile. The Nostalgia drags were held at the Quit Motorplex in Perth Western Australia on 29th May 2005. The first run was the best getting a 14.2sec with a top speed of 157kmh, thats straight off the street with no modifications done (yet). Hopefully the next run we'll get low 13's.

This is a picture from the GM Owners Day car show, Perth 2004, where it picked up Top Competition, Top Undercarrage, and Top Monaro.

Here are some more pics of the car:



Movtorvation Perth 2005, Top 10.
This is at the 2004 'Blow Out Ya Cobwebs' cruise when Kevin was being interview for Cruisin. 'Cruisin' is a local hotrod / street machine car show on Access31 (WA Aust. only) on Monday nights from 8:30-9:00pm weekly. It's worth a watch, there are some nice cars on there.
Holden vs Ford show (now called AME Show) Perth 2004, Top 10 & Best Monaro 1969-71. The lighting wasn't the best for photos at this venue as you can probably tell.
This photo was taken at the Perth Royal Show in 2003. The Monaro Car Club of WA (inc) was invited to put on a show'n'shine of Monaros. This was before we had put the stripes on the car.
At the start of a cruise with 'West Coast Muscle Cars' I got the Monaros to line up for a few photos. They were all top quality.
The boot is still unfinished at the moment, this is just what we slapped together for Motorvation.

While over in Bathurst for the Monaro Nations 2004 we got to take the Monaro for a few laps around MOUNT PANARAMA. Also it got that cold that one morning we woke up to find the Monaro had been covered in an inch of ice! Here are the pics.

Here is Kev's other beast. Also a HT GTS 350 Monaro, however this one is 99.99% original (TUFFHT is more custom and worked). This is in the middle of being restore at the moment. The interior is going in soon, so I'll get some pics of that once it's done.

This is the new Monaro that we were allowed to borrow for a week. This is one awesome car, I don't think much of new 'plastic' cars but this Turismo Blue Monaro changed my mind. If i could afford one, I'd buy it.

Finally I've got a pic of MY car up here. This is my 1975 HJ Holden Panel Van. I'll put up some pics of the back once I have finished off the trim and get the rest of the sound system in.
