Lily, the HQ sedan. Hi, My name is Emma Buckley and I?m 20 years old. I was born and bred (and probably die...lol) in Brisbane.I own a 1972 HQ Kingswood that is currently in the middle of a ground up restoration. I got the HQ 601 days ago when I asked my dad if I could restore a car.He chuckled and asked me if I was up for that challenge with the work that has to be done and the money that has to be spent (Always listen to your parent?s kids because they are ALWAYS right? . Well at least mine are - as much as that kills me to say ) My love for HQs started when I was reallllllly little. My dad had multiple HQ?s but my favourite was his white one. I guess as a kid I was always around my dad growing up with trucks, cars, and dirt bikes. I spent most of my childhood weekends with my mum on the sidelines of the speedway pits and track or out in the middle of nowhere watching dad race off-road racing. I asked to be the navigator when Dad was racing off road but I had to be 14 which sucked. I raced BMX and like to go fast so I guess growing up with revhead parents that this sort of project was a given? .
