Camp Quality Car 01 ELMO - - THE STORY BEGINS

I am currently building a 1964 EH HOLDEN WAGON to enter in the 2012 Camp Quality esCarpade OUTBACK MOTORING ADVENTURE 

We plan to paint it FIRE ENGINE RED and do it up like a mini fire engine with plenty of surprises on board

We hope to raise over $10000 for Camp Quality to help them bring smiles to the faces of children with cancer.



It all started when i saw an ad for a 1964 EH wagon ,
The AD read ------ "just needs a lick of paint".............Not!!!!!!
This ol'girl needs more than a lick of paint
 
front end is a little banged up

rear end should look ok in Fire Engine Red !!!

plenty of room for the mother-in -law

mmmmm looks like we may have termites
