Hi All,

 

Not quite Torana related as it's a little bit early, but I thought I'd post a photo that came out of mothballs for my grandfather's recent 100th Birthday celebration - it was part of a memorabilia table that various family members put together.

 

He spent pretty much his whole working life in Holden's QA department @ Fisherman's Bend after coming across from the Government Aircraft Factory following the end of the 2nd World War.

You gotta love the fancy safety glasses! :)

 

Cheers,

Jeff

I'm thinking this picture may have inspired the minions characters.

My Torana has a 179 so this is very Torana related lol.

 

Any idea what the engine number was?
