hey everyone just thought id post up a few pics of my project. its a lj torana 2door coupe which i got fora bargain, came with minitubs and a limited slip diff and a fairly good body only one major dint in the ass end but no rust.
being only 16 years of age and a causual job at a supermarket and school limits how much work can be done to the car and how big on cubes i can go for the moment im doing up a hot lil 253 with a mild 308 cam, compression ratio squeezed up to 10:1 4 barrell carby and to protect the bottom end a bit better are some ARP conrod connecting bolts. the gearbox of choice is going to be a trimatic with possibly a b&m shift kit installed.
i have also changed the front end to have lc grill and surrounds as i already have a lj in one of the photos you can see the wheels im using some repro centerline lookalikes. body wise the only mod im really doing is the bonnet scoop which i picked up locally (a9x or slr 5000 scoop) and grafted it into the bonnet to give it a better stance. the color is going to be the new monaros devil yellow if anyone knows how to paint up one of my pics in the color and maybe past on a chrome lc front ?? using photoshop i aint too good with it.
hope you like it
cheers chevy
im not sure how to get photo links up so ive left it with my cardomain page thanks

nice looking 2door. Even better since the work has been done with the mini tubs seems like theres a bit of a car collection there. Will the V8 stay in or are you going down the EFI 6 track?
