The front guards already had holes in them from some set of flares but didnt match the flares I had... on the drivers side the new flares covered all the old holes, phew... but not quite on the passenger side... but it wasnt that much of a drama as the badge holes and ariel hole was left in this guard too so I got him to weld up all the holes and is going to respray that panel (fingers crossed its blends well... he assures me I will never tell the difference)
Been soo long since Ive seen it with all the panels on...
Rear guards cut and little bracket he made up to make the flare sit correctly... I had a look at the article by Ruts and he probly could have cut abit more out! but mmm too late now I guess, hope its enough
Front flare and spoiler test fitting
So far pretty happy with his work and speed... my wallet sure isnt tho!

Thats a great idea for the rear door flare. I wonder why flares have nothing normaly there to hold the corner in.
You have a very nice car with some phat rear wheels.

Do yourself a big favour - pull the springs and sit it on the bump stops to see if those tyres clear. If they don't you'll be kicking yourself later, its a lot easier to fix at this stage!Rear guards cut and little bracket he made up to make the flare sit correctly...

They:
-Cut the rear guards
-Fit the flares, bonnet scoop, front spoiler
-Filled aerial hole and badge holes in passenger guard and re-sprayed
-Cut hole in bonnet
-Aligned all doors/panels
-Painted and fitted the SL/R Mirrors
-Rust proof interior
-Cut and polish whole car
Almost looks like a complete car now!
Rear end needs to be lowerd another inch or so and yea there my Gemini wheels on the front... I need new tyres as the 235/60/15's were hitting the flares. I actually need larger wheels on the rear! even with the 295's they dont quite fill the flares!. Am out of cash for now so cant do too much for a little while. will finish off the wiring and fit a few things (front bumper etc) then once I got some cash again ill do the interior

Looks pretty good mate.
But yeah, needs to be lowered a bit more in the rear.

Anyway was on break for 5days last week and while the Gem is away got stuck into the Torana, mainly been doing the wiring. Ive 95% finished the Painless wiring kit and then I wired up the MSD6AL and Dakota Digital Dash... Had some dramas with the Gear position sensor (little sender mounted on the gearbox which tells the Dash which gear your in for it to display) as I have a B&M megashifter and the mount they supplied for the gear sender was supposed to bolt onto where my shift cable was mounted... so had to mod the mounts a little bit got it sorted
Recently I pulled the Steering Column out and did the lower bearing mod as demonstrated by other members on here using a new 6205 bearing and give it a quick coat of paint and I ran most of the cable from the battery in the boot today also
Also had the front bumper brackets powdercoated and I fitted the newly chromed front bumper.
Hmm thats about it I think, Oh I also managed to get the boot lid lined up alot better then the panel beater did
But yea Ill get pics as soon as I get a chance to steal the good digi cam from the gf Just thought Id let you all know that something is actually being done on the poor lil bugga

Then came the big moment to connect the new wiring up to power (why I didnt do this from the start and test everything as I went I donno, I know I should have) But yea just connected it to a 10amp battery charger incase anything is wrong as it will trip itself out. And found alot of things didnt work or were being weird... but it was mostly just the case of having the pins around the wrong way on the indicator switch, heater switch, wiper motor etc so after abit of playing around with the multimeter got the Wipers, Horn, Indicators, Blower Fan, Washer bottle, Brake lights. Starter motor, Boot light, interior light, stereo, ciggy lighter and Dakota Dash all sorted... Im still yet to find a knob for my new headlight switch so yet to test them. But yea Im just about finished! yay.
Few recent pics
(yet to run split tubing over the lower group of wires)
Back down south tommorow so wont get anymore done till next Sunday... as soon as wiring is done its off to the upholsterer
