    Very nice. I love my toranas. If it were my car, I'd do the GTR XU1 black outs on it. Just a little touch, that makes it look sooo hot...

    Still, it's awesome the way it is!

    I'm only nice to one person per day. Today is not your day....
    Tomorrow doesn't look good either.

    Very nice car man. You got a piece of history and now it is very unique, because in NSW (not sure about other states), the V8's in LJ torana's are illegal because of the wild Power to Weight Ratio, you cant get them engineered anymore, this was as of Juneor July Last year.

    Love the LJ toranas, i agree with the above post and reckon you should get the GTR XU1 blackouts, althouugh it is up to you. Like your wheels too, we had them on a Mustang we used to own...

    We have also got a 308 LJ GTR Torana, its Devil Yellow, and they ****in rip... We spent two years and plenty of $$$ to build her, Everytime we drive it we get the shakes of an addrenillin.
    Good to see how much respect people still have for older cars.

    Like your numberplate too, TORRY, siuts that car well. Our numberplate is YELLA
