"Drop it on its guts and you're right, she's a cruiser"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The exhaust is a bit scraped from the road as it is a little low.

General comments?

The Holden Kingswood is the most popular regular everyday driven vehicle.

I have to agree, leave it original.

After driving across Australia, the front CV joint in the tail shaft began to make the car shake, and found it to be worn out. I easily replaced the part and re-fitted it in Sydney (and I know nothing about cars). The exhaust also fell off, but that was because of rust after living at Fremantle. Again, easily fixed. Otherwise, incredibly reliable car.

I own a 1977 HZ wagon (low-rider), it's as low as it will go and I think it handles like a go-kart.

I own a Kingswood HZ, it's in good nick. Paint job's wearing a bit, but I've been trying keep it original, one day I'd love to drop it low cos I've seen em like that, and they look pimped.

At the moment 2nd gear keeps poppin into neutral - linkages are worn. Money well spent tho..
