Please don't do the SLR clone/look-a-like. Soooo many of them. I'd go conservative. It's too good to mess with. Detail the hell out of it and whack on a set of nice wheels then enjoy it. Once it's polished and super clean you'll love it more. Great car!
yeah i've got the slr 5000 in my shed and if i done it again id probly keep it standard . well for a wile anyways .. its nice to see bloke's banging on the dash as they go past calling you a rich bastard tho ..where mine they reckon to their wife's .. lol
@@TuffMounts Yeah mate it was quick, but the bloke before me put 411 gears in it and was horrible on the highway. But I wish I wasn’t so young when I had it. Always bleed when I think of the cars I had when I was younger bud, if I had just half a brain lol 😂👍
What dreams are made of Jason.. What a bloody fantastic find mate looks killer for what it is mate.. Apart from maybe dual exhaust and some decent extractors.. Nice set of wheels would change it drastically but congratulations mate..
G'day from West Australia😉 Very cool indeed. Total cruiser with some tuff mounts and wheels plus a clean and polish last but not least new carpet job done. But that's just my thoughts😊👍👍
Do nothing but pull it apart and clean with respray but maybe pull the banjo out and replace with a vn vp diff just so if you do get up it one day your not stranded on the side of the road with a broken axle or centre
15 inch chevy wheels, on HQ stud pattern. Brakes ? I have a WB van , some years ago I also had a 74 corvette. Front end looks almost identical, except the corvette had huge 4 piston calipers that worked fantastic. Have wondered ever since, if they could bolt straight on. Wish I had tried whilst I had the vette. HQ _ WB brakes are shit. Corvette wheels fitted the WB but the WB wheels, 14 inch wouldnt fit over the vette calipers .
We will need to change the front brakes to HQ a few mods are required to get it done, Rear will either need new axles or a diff change to be able to do it right.
Fix the door, detail it, stick plates on it and cruise. You've got a winner there.
Nice find, yeah id just tidy it up and drive it! It will still turn heads as it is 👍
Bit of paint where it needs it, sills etc, good buff up and touch up, nice wheels,lowered and exhaust and windows tint, cool cruiser
Very surprised by vehicles I have located in NSW Riverina without traveling over 2 hours

Beautiful looking car. Great barn find.
Pearler
All I'd do is add 14" HQ GTS wheels , lower it, and put a nice sounding exhaust on it with maybe a small cam
Perfect period correct cruiser
ADR 27a, and it looks like it’s all working! Nice car mate!👍
It’s got an LH Torana nose panel
What a ripper...sports wheels, clean done..what a beautie .
Next few weeks will tell us how the next step proceeds👌
I had the 2 door hatch LX 5.0 4speed. I miss it soooo much!! Factory black aswell. 😢 Can’t wait to see this cleaned up! Cheers mate 👍
WOW that was a rare car in the day mate

What dreams are made of Jason..

G'day from West Australia😉
Very cool indeed.
Total cruiser with some tuff mounts and wheels plus a clean and polish last but not least new carpet job done.
But that's just my thoughts😊👍👍
Thanks Steve, New Carpet is here, Paint Correction booked, Lets see how it comes up in the next Video
@@TuffMounts hopefully awesome🙂👍👍
Now that's quite a find. I am insanely jealous.
Just goes to show they are still out there mate, Go searching.👌
@@TuffMounts Time to start buying Auto Trader again I think.

Hahahha That brings back memories in itself as I remember being stick on the side of the road twice with Blown Banjo's😂
Are you having a stand at motorx this year? Also what happened to the beater build vc commodore?
Yes we will be up in the Performance Garage Hall again. Beater Build is up in QLD living its best life💪
@@TuffMounts 👌🏼 I’ll see you there
just a quick note a bit more info on the car would be helpful as we don't have those in the uk
They were a mid size car from the 70s. Check out toranaSLR5000. Or A9X.
Hey Mark, I will try and do that in the next video, Thanks for watching in the UK!

You still got that 😳?
Yep still have it mate
@@runninlow9609 Wow! Id give you back what you paid for it? 🤣🤣🤣

Once rego is done that will be the plan!👌
Put a Barra in it 😎
Nah, not this one 😂👌
Put the Holden GTS Wheels on it
They do look timeless on these dont they 👍
Why put on hideous music in the video as your talking about the car
