turbo76lx Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Started filling all the 10mm hole that were drilled from when the dealer had it rust treated back when it was new. They weren't scared to drill random holes everywhere to spray the rust treatment in. It's nice when you find bog inside the car and a random hole. This quarter panel on the passengers side did have 16mm of bog in it so I guess they started levering the quarter out from the inside. Some of the other old repairs, looks like they cut patches out from inside the car to hammer the sill panel out. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426700-torana-lx-gtr-hatch-lots-of-pictures/page/12/#findComment-7679219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo76lx Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Bit more done, started the brake lines and fuel lines. Got sick of using a cheap brake line flaring tool so lashed out and brought a sykes pickavant flaring tool but my super dodgy tube straightener make from roller door wheels still works ok. 4 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426700-torana-lx-gtr-hatch-lots-of-pictures/page/12/#findComment-7690104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo76lx Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Made up a bulkhead fitting for the attesa lines. Also stripped the R33 loom to reuse some of the wire.

turbo76lx Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Started wiring the body harness, had to sort through and cut up some spare wiring looms to make one good one up.

turbo76lx Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 The cam bracket was machined out on a multicam cnc router then I machined the back out on a manual lathe.
