Thanks Baz, but Torana is long gone....steering wasnt the only problem..gear change, ride of the car... just to hard on the body.....Comm is just what the Doc ordered...anyway Dan (jnrGTR)still has his two torries so all is not lost.....

Blown 308 - Nice clean looking commy.
I bought one the same color a few years ago to be an organ donor. I've also seen a couple more that color so i'd say it's a factory color. My Vh had a 253, auto, air, ps, 4 wheel disc. Pitty i wasn't really into commy's as it neaded bugger all to tidy it up & just drive it. It was rather cruizy to drive as well. Mine was stock as a rock & run like clockwork, never been molested.
Enjoy the commy.
Cheers
