| Boasting a massive 5lt V8 308 the Prem was first built
in April of 1979. Since its manafacture it has had several alterations.
In its initial
incarnation it was a 202 6cyl column shift trimatic. This was altered
to its current V8 aussie four speed floor shift with SAAS racing seats
and SAAS mahogany wood grained steering wheel. After having the word
Premier stiched into the seats the Prem remaines otherwise stock. |

This monster of the road has borne many extras in its long
life. It currently has a 750 Holley sitting atop the engine replacing
the regular carb. Once wearing a sticker on the boot reading 'Deathwish'
it has progressed to less unwanted eye catching material(constantly being
pulled over by the boys in blue). An aftermarket passenger mirror has
been added along with a Kenwood sound system. |

| At somepoint a previous owner decided to put what is known as a 'bug
catcher' onto the engine, resulting in the necessary hole in hood. After
learning the laws for Queensland regarding vechicle improvements, it
became apparent that it was illegal to have metallic moving parts sticking
above the hood(in case you hit someone). |
|
The sound system consists of a Kenwood cd player hooked up to a 750
watt amplifier in the boot; this in turn is connected to the two 6x9
200watt speakers in the parcel deck; as well as the 12 inch Kenwood subwoofer.
Topped off with two 6inch 150watt speakers up front with tweaters and
crossover switches. |

| So with the 'bug catcher' gone there was now a massive hole in
the hood. This was rectified by placing a camaro bonet scoop over
the hole. Now legal to drive again in Queensland. After lowering the
car to a mere 75mm ground clearance it has reached its current configuration. |

I voluntarily have placed my car off the road at the moment while I
make repairs and restorations(no I haven't crashed the damn thing). However
I have decided to keep it as my toy and have designated it as my doer
upper. Code named: Project Premier. |
