The one you just posted a pic of has a Fiat engine in it mamoru.gif

I am much like clutch-monkey I have no idea what I want exactly too many choices.

Having said that a nice 1600 would be great. SR20VE+T, Carbon fibre guards make it as light as possible etc etc. mmm would be fun.

And it was still priced reasonably enough for the common man to own. FASTER THAN THE MINI!!!

PIG208
Car: 1969-70 LC Torana Coupe

Engine: 1st choice = 235 stroked Holden 6 with Triple 2" S.U's or a McGee Mechanical Injection setup (rare as hens teeth) Manual box, shortened BW disc brake diff with a 3.9 lsd centre
2nd choice = VN headed 308, Roller cam, Harrop Manifold, Demon Carb and detailed to within and inch of it's life

Paint: Gun metal grey with bone coloured marine vinyl interior OR HOK Kandy Violet with light great tweed interior

Wheels: Weld Racing Pro Star 15x3.5" (f) and 15x8.5" ®

Why I Like It: I think the LC/LJ Coupes proved that Cubic inches aren't the be all and end all in motor racing and they were the "underdog" that beat the mighty HO Falcons...... I could sit and stare at an LC Coupe all day, the way the grill looks like a chromed smile welcoming you in, and the swoopy coupe doors give the impression of a much larger car oh and the fact that I have owned one and sold it, now I regret that decision more than anything


I mean, what's not to love mamoru.gif
CAM-327
^^ very very nice, Gunmetal Grey and Kandy Violet are my 2 fav colours to paint a car, i like your choice mate
PIG208
unfortunately thats not my car...... I used it as an example but when i build the next one the same theme will be carried out.
No body mods just an eye catching hue and a clean tidy functional interior
CAM-327
yeahh matee whenn u get yourr new one mate u have to show us all as im sure nearly everyone loves LC's,
i'm hopefully getting a HQ 4 door as my first car and was thinking of painting it Gunmetal grey,
i agree with the functional interior, i see many street machines with white or beige interior, they would be a bitch to clean
and would also cost a fair bit to re-trim. Good luck with your soon to be project mate thumbsup.gif
