The club decided on a Christmas Picnic this year at Belair National Park.
A change form the usual pub lunch which provided to be a winner as we were able to socialize more.
We met at the club rooms and did the drive up South road where the new tunnels are being built.
Sorry but no photo's of this ...

Happy to say we are hosting the 2026 All Holden Day again at Wigley Reserve at Glenelg on the 18th Jan 2026.
A few changes from last AHD with the club doing the BBQ and a Hot Dog stand.
Great is see a number of members stepping up with setup, cooking - serving and raffle.

Hi
Today we had a photo session at one of our All Holden Day sponsors, St Francis Winery at Old Reynella.
They asked if we could have a couple of cars to photograph for their website.

I did actually read the workshop manual before starting although as male, is seemed a waste of time, as we know how to do stuff, even if we have done it before.

Started on the fitting the front windscreen now that I have purchased new glass.
Pulled, pushed, said a few naughty words and got the new rubber fitted. Now for the trim
Had go yesterday and succeeded in only pulling the rubber half way off with a small section of the corner trim slid in.

wiper motor is up near the glove box. Fitted a Commodore, using only the low speed with the switch in the ashtray.
For those who wish to do the inner hinges on the tailgate, I used the upper hinges from a wagon, cutted and modified.

I did have BMW push out cup holder above the ashtray but it seems ...

I decide to have a cleanup in the shed as I have stuff everywhere, so I push the ute outside.
