Inspired by some of Paul's latest car build efforts, here is the only car kit I have ever seriously tried to build......the mighty Pontiac GTO (otherwise known as the Holden CV8 Monaro).

Good job on that, how come you didn't do it as one of yours?

This link was suppose to be to the conversion set to “restore” the Polar Lights / AMT kit to a Monaro but it’s a dead link :

Anyone know if the conversion set is still available?

Pretty sure the Polar Lights version came pre painted so unless you could get one in the right colour or repaint it and get the conversion set (or do all of that yourself!) then it would have to stay as a GTO.

Yep......REALLY pissed-off at myself.
I should be more careful with the kits I sell.

There are a couple on evilbay ranging from reasonably priced to a bit expensive but the real killer is the cost of shipping.
