He's done a good job, looks legit. I'm pretty sure the beamer fans will love it.

Some famous fella got that built if I remember rightly? I remember seeing something on TV about it years ago.

I remember seeing it back in trade school, we got to do a tour of the place that was building it. I prob even have photos of it some where here. Oh and it was built in Deniliquin, NSW.
They did a good job the amount of work that went into it was unreal

That car has been bad luck for Stuart ever since he started it. He has had a bad back the last few years and can barely play golf these days. Haven't seen him much on the pga tour or anywhere else for that matter.
Wonder what mods like that would cost? You would think probably more than what the car cost and then some.

Looks great. I would live to know how they engineered door handles somewhere on the car? My understanding in Vic it must actually have an external door handle.

^ It does need a way of opening. A button is ok if you have some sort of finger grip or recess to pull on if the door is sticky.

Grant so have you removed the door handles from your Torana? Dirtbag discussed the button concept but I would prefer something that you can't see at all. So suppose it would have to be under the car if that was possible?

Yeah it's been around for awhile. Would of looked better had they broken up that flat hard lid as there's no other straight panel on the car so it sticks out like me at a rave haha. Especially as they changed the bones up a fair bit.
Cheers Nig.
