Thought i might throw up some details and pics of my daily driver torana. Although it seems theres a lot of dislike towards the UC toranas (yes this is a torana not a sunbird!!) i still love it. Picked it up off a farm unregistered about 2 years ago for the wonderful price of $200. Hadn't been started for 2 years, and i drove it home, which was over a 45min drive, and she only stalled twice. Would of expected her to run a bit rougher then that considering it was the same fuel that it got left sitting with for those 2 years.

Its running a 202 with a holley 350 on a cain manifold, trimatic gear box, and single pegger standard 10 bolt salsbury. Passed pits on its first try, since then i've thrown extractors and a 2" exhaust on it. Lowered springs and new shocks all round as well as new balljoints and bushes here and there. New tyres on the standard steelies with those wonderful hubcaps! Up front shes got slotted rda rotors and lucas metallic pads, as well i've rekitted the master cylinder and carby. Brake upgrades paid itself off in a couple of hairy situations and with the suspension she handles a dream!

Plans were to get her running a 13second 202 pass but that has since been binned and im back to focusing on my LX VH41 conversion. This might get the 308 and trimatic that came outta the LX to make it more of a tow car for taking the LX around, but we'll see.

Couple of pics, you'll see the paint came up alright after a cut and polish, and don't mind my interior bit ratty but eh shes a daily driver and does the trick.

Good to see another UC on GMH-Torana!!

Just the 308 conversion planned, or are you gonna get tempted to do her up??

Great tow car by the way!!
