Hi , 

I purchased these from Wayne Negus in the 1980 ,s ,I dont t know where the old conversation is now (Shiney005?) but for those interested and Wayne was a friend of mine , the panels were for a 4 door , ie no hatch doors.

The 4 dr boot was in white primer , same with the rear doors , both had no lock mechanisms , the bonnet was HDT painted as was the front guards and nose cone which was slightly dented from a touch on the track.The bonnet was painted as well , I dont remember a scoop on it but maybe there was , not sure. Wayne did use the gear for the front of his racing HDT A9X so you would think there was a scoop. I was at Barbagallo when the panels were on the car in a street class race or so.

iI had the panels for years , never used them and decided to sell them to Ron a friend of mine that was doing Torana 4 door racing.

i have heard where they have popped up now and again , I can answer any other questions as required.

Ok thanks , I see the huge hole for a bonnet scoop now is different. 

For interest does anyone know the owner of the ex Tim Slako L34 ,it was the first one he raced at Bathurst , (lime green colour originally from new ) I saw it 25 years ago painted black a person with surname KOSLOVSKY or similar owned it. He was from Collie area possibly)

He borrowed some photos of the Slako car in Bathurst paint job , I was trying to get the photos back,

theres no issues we just lost each other in 1990 , they were large A4 size any help appreciated .

The hole is to fit a VN Group A intake manifold through. I will send you a P.M. Koslovsky was a previous owner from Perth.
