Post by su59em »

Just thought id show everyone why i havent touched the gem these last few weeks.. ive been heaps busy workin on my other projects...

1971 LC torana 4 Door

I bought the car for $500 with rego from wollongong about 3 years ago ... it was repairable write off.. the rear quarter was pushed in about a foot... it had a 138 RED motor burning oil, 4 wheel drums no booster, column shift automatic. (these pics are after the quarter swap... i cant seem to find any from before...)

All my wonderfull bogwork.. in primer ready to paint.

Image

New Engine :) 186, headwork, cam, 350 holley, extractors.. and a trimatic now with a B&M Shifter

Image

First coats of paint.. its acrylic so im gonna have to buff it..

Image

Image

Finished the colour...
