Adz2332 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I dunno wheather you guys would be interested seeing my cars i own. I had the yellow torana as my first car. My dad and i did it up slowly, couldnt sell it as it was my first car and im attached to it lol but i have had some nice offers on it. I then bought the silver corvette as my weekend car and cruiser, its going off the road as of monday to get a new paint job and interior. And of course the skyline cos i was sick of driving around in old cars all the time, it was nice to drive some thing modern!!! lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/166254-my-cars/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Still nothing like the raw feel of the V8 in the LH through the steering wheel, floor pan seats etc.. Much done to the 5ltr? In the LH? Old man did up a genuine slr5000 when I was approaching license age. Similiar paint job; canary yellow, black bonnet, black around the top door frame, flares, rear spoiler. 4speed 5ltr, quite a lopey cam & 600 holley. I can't remember the name of the wheels, they were a gold colour with lots of little spokes. Its on the tip of my tounge lol. Once the paint was done and the motor in we jumped in it for a drive around the block sitting on milk crates with no doors. Nothing quite like the old muscle cars.

It was bought as a $1500 white auto 173 6cyl rough torana... i drove around lik that for a few years until my bank balance recovered. It was then pulled off the road for around six months where it had all the rust taken out and had a bob tail spoiler put on it, front spoiler and reverse bonnet scoop. It was sprayed yellow with a black bonnet. The interior was taken out and the standered seats, door trims etc where retrimmed in yellow vinal with black soft cover inserts. I replaced the carpet and hood lining. Also installed was a auto meter monster tacho and a couple gauges. We then took out the 6cyc engine, the auto gear box and the diff. I bought a 253 V8 which we hotted up with extracors, big carby, big 2 1/2 inch twin exhaust system (sounds hot!!!) with big chrome exhaust extensions etc etc plus alot of chrome bits and pieces. while the engine was out we also tided up the engine bay and sprayed that yellow also. We put in a 4 speed manual and low ratio diff. Also added was a MOMO yellow gear knob, MOMO pedals and a isotta yellow steering wheel. All in all i love it, i think it looks great and it stands out. The reason i no longer used it was i bought the corvette then bought the skyline to use as my every day car, so its been sitting in the shed covered up for about 2 years now. But i have decided to spray the corvette and do a new interior on it so it will be off the road on monday for a few months . so the torana is making a come back for about 6months.

Hard to find one that has matching plates too... yer for sure, hard to find ones without hidden rust to. my mate bought a LH shell to do kinda the same thing u want to do, as it turned out he should have waited for someone to go with him as he wasnt that sure of what he was looking at. excitment got the better of him and he bought it. when it was stripped back there was more rust and bog than real metal! ended up going to sims metal!! So a tip for anyone buying always take a magnet with you, put it on any where that looks suss or is known for having rust cos it will only stick to metal not bog!!
