In this episode of Aussie Garage, we shine the spotlight on an automotive masterpiece—Peter’s fully restored HK Holden Panel Van, affectionately named Greennice. Drenched in a striking candy apple green, this vehicle is more than just a car; it’s a rolling testament to passion, dedication, and the art of restoration.
A Restoration Like No Other
Peter’s journey with Greennice was nothing short of extraordinary. Over three to four years, this HK Panel Van underwent a meticulous nut-and-bolt restoration, resulting in a vehicle that blends timeless aesthetics with raw power.
At its heart lies a tunnel-rammed 350 Chevy engine with twin carburetors, delivering a pro stock vibe that demands attention. With extractors enhancing the sound and performance, and a tubbed rear end seamlessly integrated to maintain a factory look, Greennice is both a showstopper and a powerhouse.
The Spark Behind the Build
Peter’s love affair with cars dates back to his younger years, heavily influenced by his older brothers and their drag racing exploits. However, life took him on a 20-year detour away from the automotive world. It wasn’t until this HK Holden Panel Van came into his life that the spark reignited, culminating in this breathtaking restoration.
The Journey Behind Greennice
Every car has a story, and Greennice is no exception. In this episode, Peter takes us through the highs and lows of the restoration process. From sourcing parts to perfecting the candy apple green paint, he reveals the dedication and craftsmanship it took to bring his dream to life.
Why Greennice Stands Out
What makes Greennice truly special isn’t just the show-stopping color or the roaring 350 Chevy under the hood. It’s the passion behind it—a story of rekindled love for cars, countless hours in the garage, and the joy of creating something extraordinary.
Head over to our latest episode to see Greennice in all its glory and hear Peter’s inspiring journey firsthand.
