    Default Holden 308

    Heres the Torana Me and My Dad have been restoring. We got it 2 years ago
    from Wagga Wagga and have been restoring it ever since.

    Bye the way, its still not finished, the interior, windows and exhuast need to be completed.

    It was an original LJ GTR and we have put a worked 308 and Turbo 350.Just thought i would show it off and get some opinions.

    Hey mate, very nice. I love it.

    Are those the "old school GTS" GTS replica rims? They look good with the yellow. I think they are the same ones that I am putting on my HZ. Mine will be 18's though.

    Keep us posted.

    That is bloody nice.
    My 15 year old Daughter first wanted an LC, then an LJ and then an LX Hatch.
    After seeing your pics she now wants an LJ again.

    SHES FINALLY FINISHED. its taken 2 years this boxing day. 300+ KW. She flys. Here are soome of the pictures..

    Everything is new. Under the hood we still have to put braded hoses, and fix up a few thigs, sucj as the accelerater cable. its only getting about 3/4 throttle, unable to fully open the four barrels. We had it dynoed, as i said they tested 208KW at the rear wheels. And about 7000rpm. but thats not its full potential as we arenot gettin full throttle...

    It's done!!!

    Damn, that is one of the sexiest cars I've seen in a long time. You should be extremely proud of yourself. You've done a damn good job.
