Are you looking at the mirrors???

The quad headlight front. In HJ to HZ only Ambulance Pack had it. The rest used HQ style twin headlight front.

Also, this is pretty much the exact colour I'd love to do, not sure if anyone knows this particular Torana, but if someone happens to have a paint code that would make things a lot easier. Otherwise I'll just be matching up what I want off of colour chips.

G'day Ben,

 

Man it must be close to my car - which is Galaxy Blue (a Ford colour from the AU series). Looking on my monitor, they're super close.

Well, popped up and saw my uncle for the first time since taking the car up there a couple weeks ago, took some bits and pieces.

Something he noticed that I hadn't noticed was that my bonnet hinges were completely clapped out so I'll be getting some new ones, he's already finished the rust repairs around the back windscreen and cut the rusty rear beaver away. Found a little bit more rust in the very end of the chassis "rails" on the LH side as it curves up behind the beaver.

Plan as said before is to get the bay painted so I can bring the car back for a few months and get the engine bay and driveline fitted out and hopefully running, then take it back up to finish her off. Gives him a break while I do that and I can get in and out of the car while doing wiring and not worry about scratching the paint on sills and doors etc.
