1976 Holden HX Kingswood

History

I always wanted a White ute, It took me 8 years to find the one I wanted. I purchased this Ute 3.5 years ago and in that time I have spent a lot of time and money to get it how I wanted. With Symmetry and attention to detail I have created a 2019 HOLDEN HX Ute with a theme ‘factory Improved’ how it should of came from factory. it is a 1976 Holden Ute created and built with modern touches.
