1977 Holden Torana

Currently undergoing a complete rebuild.

Plans include:

- Rebuild the 308
- Fit a 6 speed T56
- 9" diff
- Custom dash
- Candy red paint

Undecided on wheels. After a nice street car.

Hope you enjoy.


How it arrived:

The paint & body were in need of TLC.

Looks the goods, she'd certainly get up and go and be cheap to run with the 6 speed

Man i love hatchbacks. Nice project.

I like all your plans apart from the custom dash, SL/R dash in black is the go IMO.

I guess the other all important question is, flares or no flares?

I tend to agree, I haven't seen a custom dash yet that I thought was better than original.

The Torana is rubbed down by hand through the black guide coat, to find the low points in the panels. Sections of the front of the car were cut out, due to rust.
