Ok i know it's not a torana, but i sold my lh so i could do something else. It's a HX GTS Monaro everything is original on it, including the horrible brown interior. Came with 2 set's of door's,2 dash's 308 that need's new ring's, statesman spare front end and heap of other parts. I'll hopefully have the pic's up by this weekend, she's not too pretty at the moment, but hey that's why we do project's ay??

Yeah paid only $700 off an 18 year old my g/f know's. No rust in the floor pan or boot either!! just need a better set of door's, the originals have waves in the metal and the one's on it have so much rust i can't be bothered with them.

I know it's a torana forum but monaros are their cousins and go real ricely in torana land.
Would be good to see some nice tough monaros in the projects area.

Hey nice project, the floor pans look alright, give the whole car a sand blast and bobs your uncle, shel be like new again. :spoton:

Love the Monaros

I saw a gold (same gold colour as current Monaro)HQ 2door GTS yesterday in Smithfield, sexy looking car. I bought an HJ Kingswood a few weeks ago same shape as yours (not Monaro) but a great shape i reckon.

I believe your model in original spec would be worth a fair wack :spoton:
