The LJ Torana Project

[14secvp]

melt the lead out and find all the spot welds that hold the guard on drill them out then weld back through the holes with a mig welder to put it back on .Ive got the welder and know how to weld so I just need some time should be finished in six months putting rb30 and five speed in mine though .if it fits round the steering

nice work mate,Yes they are getting more expensive these days,Me and my father have just finished building his 2 door,There is a small pic of it in the latest queensland street car magazine,it is hothouse green with a come racing 355,Very silly machine,absolutely awsome.
Your 202 idea is good and probably the cheapest way,just throw in a 40/80 cam and with the yella terra heads and triple carbs it will move very quickly,i personally would put in a ecotec V6,power to weight would be excellent and the conversion wouldnt cost much more then a rebuilt 202.good luck with it.

we spent two years creating our little 308 LJ "Torrie''.

We love it, painted Devil Yellow, BnM Quickshift, original inside and out but with XU-2 Specs.

But the car hammers, we struggled to get ours engineered as the new laws for power to weight ratio's were coming in. heres a pic. i can send more if u want.

Kevhaze, thats one hot LX you have there. And the fact it's a coupe makes it that much more sexier. I love that colour on Torana's. I've only seen it in the flesh on one other torana, and that was an SLR/5000.

What motor you running in that? 308?
