If my LJ was presentable you could use that... but that needs a fair bit of work before it gets out in public.

If the blue LX hatch is registered,
Birdwood Museum display
yep, I can probably offer a seat or two. We can probably rustle up some other Toranas too.

be wary of paying for use of cars, if car not lisenced chauffeaured vehicle heavy fine and possible confiscation of vehicle. hire car operaters watch for people using private cars and take rego to see if happens often,

Whereas you're right Limo, payment for hire, fare or reward can cause problems with insurance, and if regular, with business vs private use, but I can't see anyone getting a fine or their car confiscated.
The occasional wedding car gig usually ends up with a donation for petrol, professional photo of the car(s), and if you know the Bride/Groom, maybe a seat at a table and a chance to be part of the wedding. One wedding I did, I ended up taking wedding guests for cruises all night - was fun!

Dave, although it's a bit of a walk to get to, the old Newman's nursey ruins behind Anstey's Hill is an excellent place for wedding photos.we will be having professional photos taken, prob up at houghton in the town square,
can be available if we have enough notice.

this is great - its amazing with all the wankers out there, there are still decent people around
kaz, i have seen your car in the flesh a couple of times
marc, i remeber when you first bought the hatch, and i saw it at extreme horsepower that year
dangerous, that hatch looks fantastic
i think, coz i want them all, is for me to show the mrs some of the options
i already have one car chosen - some might knoe him SHT-BOX/MR LX/LX and i think he would not like me much anymore if he wasnt in it
i also have got a mate, SLC-208/SUS-202 who will be riding along for the show of it (only got racing buckets in the front)
I would like a couple more torrys, and i think the mrs would like something bigger to fit the dress in
i will talk to her, get her to pick the cars, as i said, ill take them all, and i will get in contact with relevant people
cheers

^^ LX8VD69s Torrie that he reckons aint worth putting in a car show.
there is a stretch LC(??) Limo being built, very slow process
last i saw it the owner was hand molding the arm rest. I reckon another 5 years it may be ready. I will let yas kno when its ready, dont hold your breath tho.

Steve's LX Limo is'nt really that far off finished, he just needs a good kick in the butt to get things from the finishing stage to the finished stage.
Pity the wedding's only a few months away.
I'll see if i am allowed to sneak a piccy or 2 on line to let the world see it.
Only a few people have seen it so far & its been in the build for over 10yrs.

Welcome to the forum Toranamuk!
As for the stretch being in the build for 10 years - well, you know you can't rush these things
You could probably build something out of spares for the event, couldn't you?

ok, sorry ive taken a while to get back to you guys n girls on this one
after long deliberation with the mrs, we have decided that toranas are just too small for our needs (it saddens me, as i have wanted them from day one), but we have decided on one, MR LX as i asked him like 3 years ago and two others.
The two others are a stock as a rock, white 186 HG kingswood, that looks amazing for an unrestored car, and a silver mink HT Prem with a 350 in it.
I must say thankyou to everyone on here for the offer, and commend on the quality of cars around adelaide - always good to see
cheers
dave
*EDIT*
Also, the other night in town a saw about a 68 impala stretch, it look great, and i was ondering if anyone had any contact details for it, as i DO need a limo
