As promised, photo's of my brothers 21st present. The Torana rebuild, completed in 8 weeks from scratch. Kinda rushed, results were good. This is the car that was broken into...

PS. Lots of photos (Haha 56k's)

    Great work!
    Was going to mention the exhaust but sounds like you've addressed that issue.

    Engine bay looks mint. Bet he's a happy boy!

    As said, was a rushed 8 week from the ground up rebuild. Still waiting on new window rubbers, few chrome strip's that were incorrect.

    Eitherway, hes happy

    would look alot better if it was blacked out like the real ones, to much blue for me, top effort though.

    a torana that would look sic without flared gaurds?? not a torana fan obviously i dont care what you say seriously mate that is awesome wanted something like this for so many years. I wish i bought an slr replica when i first got my licence they have easily tripled their value nowadays and people just arnt selling them anyway. I know someone that bought an LJ for 1 grand then got offered 7 for it in a carpark recently without doing anything to it.

    Nothing wrong with flares on torana's you just have to fill them. Im sure he knows that. 15 x10 on the back and 15 x 8 on the front and those flares will suit the car perfectly. Well done, great build, Love my torana's

    Since some dip shits need others to go into more detail on here, I meant would look sic without flares, rear spoiler and scoop. My opinion would look alot better with out all that and just lowered with big rims. Still as I said it's a top job.

    Personally I think the flared guards are whats so appealing about Torrie's as it just makes them look so much tougher then most of the cars of that period ...

    Great work in getting your bro a tough looking car for his 21st in 8 weeks thumbsup.gif

    Hey man, I love what you have done with this Torana.

    I was even more impressed when you said it was a gift!

    Then I saw pics of destroyed Torry and thought...

    Hmmm...


    What happened there>???

    Still, attention to detail and well executed.

    It just needs larger more deep dished rims and a new pair of exhausts.

    It's perfect apart from that. biggrin.gif
