Nice find!

That drive line would be killer in the Torry!!!!

As others have said, not a big fan of the old clubby's... But something with that kinda drive line, has to be given some credit! Good stuff! :spoton:

well i haven't done much with the torana lately but i have been doing quite alot to the clubby.

iv'e lowered it, put new rims on, fixed heaps of broken interior parts, changed the broken irs cradle, replaced cracked extractors, started tidying up the engine bay and trying to stop the prick from leaking so much oil.

also im in the process of striping it as its getting resprayed next week so i have been collecting new genuine badges, grill and bumpers. im hoping to have it finished in time for cruise for charity in early september. so i hope the crash shop don't drag there feet.

here's a few pics of what iv'e been doing to it.

lowered with new wheels

some new badges grill and i dummied up the bumpers

started stripping the moldings and door handles etc

I don't mind the VR-VS HSVs. That would be an awesome car to drive around in, but I bet its not that cheap to run? Will be interested to see how it comes up with a respray and tidy up.

ummm no its for from cheap to run. it was tuned on bp ultimate and ranges from 13-28L per 100km around town depending how i drive it. open road its only 8-9L per 100km.

im finding it quite hard to find decent priced good condition parts for it. as im trying to keep it all genuine. id hate to find parts for it when its the age of my torana
