All starter when I snapped a leg on my 450, going to fast in the bush. So I went to buy a orig 308 ss, and the bloke wasn't home. So I end up buying a 12sec lc gtr to put my 308 in. Then the 202 broke the crank and cutch, no worrys putting a 308 in anyway. Pulled engine out, found green paint. Wrong colour and trim. Then the shit started. People telling don't wreck a gtr and put a 8 in it. Bought a lc 2dr S, orig 80,000, in same colour trim, and all orig for parts for gtr (donor car). Sit there for 3mths kept lookig at it, too good to wreck, so I dragged in shed.

Got the rails in, then notice something not right at front of lc. It is 5mm out somewhere, Three panel beaters looked told me 5mm, don't worry (5mm is factory), so I didn't and went on doing what I was doing. I had done 1/2 a inner guard and were 5mm short at the top (top of support only). I have done windows, floors pans, bare metal and 2pac inside and out floorpan and engine bay. I was sending to be paint soon. Went to Boronia to look at some cars. I seen some nice toranas. But one of the nice one wasn't right. I kept looking at it and could work out were it wasn't right. So i went home to fix my 5mm problem. Fix it now, I just need a new nose. I have pulled the support back and cut the nose cone off my car today.

If I just done what I wanted and not listened, I would have a 10sec lc gtr and shit loads of room. Went back and got the SS308 was too cheap MY TORANA'S

Crickey, you've put a lot of work (and dosh) into those cars mate, you should be very proud of yourself. Hey i'm very interested in those articles about the Violet LJ T04 and the Red LC Supercharged 2-doors. Do you have them in a higher res coz I'd love to see them in better detail.

RoryM's LJ 2-door SL or something was just sold for $3500 in completely unmolested condition. Under 3k is rare for a 2-door

Hey mate, I really like what you have done with the back of the engine bay, covering the heater holes. Have you done the firewall yet? Wouldn't happen to have the plans and messurements?

Cheers,

Pocket wise, yes. Have you seen a lakeside green with sandelwood trim, I havn't. The only one i have seen is this one, and know 5 gtr's in same colour. LAKESIDE GREEN

  gday Lakeside,

Youe E bay username wouldnt happen to be Lakesidegtr? what do you find the best way to bare metal is?
and what could i expect to pay for a lc two door?
a green lc gtr has always been my dream car, if i cant afford a gtr ill make one from a "s" 

I'm not Lakesidegtr on Ebay. Best way to bare metal is paint stripper, water and steel woool (coase) and it falls off. What's a lc 2door worth, too much. Tried to give it away 6mths ago after the SS came home. No one want it. One bloke from Bris, want it, to busy it get rolling. Been trying to give to Ferg for 12mths and I mean giveaway, didn't want it. It's not the price of the car of shell, it's how much rust that matters. Heaps for a good one.

I made a few of them, about 10 of them. They all fitted good around the back of the wall, expert the first one. Change my mind a few times how to make. And different people would fold them and they would be wrong. Still have one more of them, through the rest away.

looks like your doing a great job with the lc mate.. dont worry about what people are saying, build the car how u want it.

too late now. This will be a better one, I think.
