Ok so here are some old pics. The car is not fully built because the plan was to try and reproduce another. Not sure when it will get finished.
There is the factory engine in it and it is in running order.

There is a write up about it in a book i have called called Holden Torana GTR XU-1 .The GTR-X had the 186 engine with triple carbs that produced 160 brake horsepower ,4 speed manual, 254 mm front discs,247.65mm rear . 54.55 litre fuel tank , top speed 210 k.p.h. It had the same basic suspension and drive train as the LC GTR XU-1 The engineers at holden were hoping for a production run from 1971 to 1980 and designed the car to accept both the 6 and v8 engine and would have been sold for between $4000 to $5000. The bonnet was hinged from the front and had a rear hatch. The dash included speedo, tacho ,radio ,clock, ammeter , oil pressure gauge, fuel gauge,temp gauge and vacuum gauge. A prototype was driven around Mt Panoramaas a marketing exercise but was deemed to expensive to build .
