'70 LC gtr, my first car. paid $1300 for it second hand in 1978, 2 months b4 my 16 birthday. I still have it today. far to many memories to ever part with it,
Nice work and love the safety boots. True story my brother in law has a green LC XU1 sitting in his garage waiting to be put back together. I’m not holding my breath as it’s been sitting untouched for over 30 years, shame really as these old classic cars should be driven not sitting around 😢.
Dad had an LJ 2850 auto 4 door. That was an awesome car even though not very quick and not brilliant at stopping. My sister eventually got it and traded on a bloody Telstar.
my bother inlaw had one these back in the day, we lived in a small country town around 800 people, there was one street that ran the whole length of the town, late one night we got 100 on that street haha and i'm not talking k's just once to see if we could do it - she was rocket red for a reason

I restored a HQ sedan about 35 years ago and painted it the same colors as your Torana. lol
She looks beautiful mate , brings back memories from my youth ;) , thank you .
Those little Toranas had a lot of character and went like a cut cat .

I'm an older guy now but I thought I remembered seeing a rocker cover with 3310 on it. Not every one just a couple of XU1 's.
Sound's great
Beautiful job mate!!
Mate of mine had an immaculate orange GTR
back in the ‘80’s… cam was so lumpy it sounded like a V8, went like a scolded cat!😂
i found i good dash pad in a wrecking yard some years back and it had original Torana logo blank off radio plastic panel, never seen one before
Awesome had an orange one back in1977 and a lime metallic one in 1980 wish i still had them but who new what they would be worth now
It’s mint, no pun intended😊

Swap your PCV and Brake booster hoses around, that will give a more balanced idle.👍
My second car LJ too in Baroda Silver Bathurst version
Ah! Sold it sadly
I wonder what happened to it
My second car, an LC in Linamint Green. Great fun to drive, sold it too cheap. Really sorry I sold it.🤨🤨
I remember driving one when it was cold it was very lumpy and you had to be careful with the accelerator
Mint🏆
Many exhaust places say 1 inch exhaust pipe per 100 horse power ,so 200 horses 2 inch pipe etc
hell nice
I would be guessing you repaired both front chassis rails and k frame mounts?
Linamint one of the rarer colours?
😎👍
I want one
0-100 time?
Sorry if it's already been mentioned before, but what month 73 is this car mate ?
So would it be worth around $35,000 now even that could be bit pricey ?
Try $200,000
Its green
