Wombles LJ Torana 2 door. (3rd car)

[Wombles]

This is my new ride. Picked her up today. A 1973 LJ Torana.
Plans are to restore her to original.
Its just a 4 cyl 4 speed manual 2 door.
Here are pics that give 1000 words a pic.

Fair bit of rust, you have a lot of work a head of you, but should be a fun project.

Screaming for a V8

Gonna stick with the 4..
Rust is to be expected for a 40 year old car.

Did you really 4999 for it? Should make it a turbo sleeper

Yeah your keen. To me it seems like one of those rusty cars that soon become nothing but rust when you start digging around and then gets all too hard.

As above, really hope you paid no where near $5k.

nah no way man, thats solid as fk. this is a brilliant little starter car. still need to see things like the front and rear screens, but that drivers A pillar looks pretty tight. even the passenger A pillar is (hopefully) only bubbles. sticking a scriber in them will soon tell us.


i would buy that car. 100%


only thing is .... its chevy orange.... it'd be rude not to put a chevy engine in it.

Pictures say 1000 words. Could have just said "It's full of rust" and we'd have believed you.

Good luck with it. Will be checking back.
