Hi,

The Z refers to the black/green houndstooth. The above list is for LC toranas

LJ
40X = Black vinyl Roebuck / blackvinyl inserts
40Y = Black vinyl Roebuck / black/white houndstooh inserts
40Z = Black vinyl Roebuck / black/green houndstooth inserts

I have seen an LJ advertised sometime ago with 40Z and it had black and green houndstooth.

Cheers Rob

Hi Paul (el-cee)

I have not come across a good list of all these interior codes. I put that original list for the LC together from looking at parts catalog, and keeping track of torana's for sale, etc. I have attached the list from the LC parts catalog, all it gives is the actual main color of the interior(the number bit) and not what the letter is.

For older LC's the orange houndstooth is a darker or more oranger orange to match the sebring orange paintwork. This would be Z on the trim code.

For later ones, the houndstooth is a different, more yellow orange to match the indy orange paintwork. This would be L on the trim code.

If your car is originally indy orange, then it would need the one to match this.

Some pics of the indy orange houndstooth colour:

I tried that! Nobody thought it was a good idea at the time!

This is supposed to be one of the countries 'premier' Torana sites!

I might be able to help you out with a piece of Black Vinyl as long as Johnny doesn't use it all.

Where'd you get it from? Tried to take the seats apart today, the clips on them are nasty little buggers aren't they..

Got engine started couple of days back, went like it had never been off, running like a dream so far, just need to clean up the carbs, damper pistons are a bit slow for my liking.. Then onto the gauges..

[GTR-1]

Got the frabic from a place in Dunedin, it's a real good match.
Never taken the clips but have heard they are a bastard to take off and put back on.
Sinc the car is going are you gonna come to Kumeu with us on the 17th Jan

Would love to mate, but still needs a bit of work before i'm up to wof spec, unless you know a good place to get one

There's some structural rust on the driver's A pillar that needs some attention, and I'm on the order list for some brake parts, I reckon car could be finished earliest say end of Jan.. that's if panelbeaters have a quick turnaround time - hmm

[GTR-1]

I wouldn't worry too much about getting a wof at this stage, my XU-1 hasn't had one since late 2000 and I still drive it around. If the rust isn't too visible just take it to a dodgy little Asian mechanic shop, at least you will have the warrant sheet if you do get stopped.
