I might be there, yet to enter though.
I believe Canberra Torana Club are looking at a possible display there on the Sunday, details yet to be confirmed.

The nats is getting close (around 6 weeks) and I was wondering whos going and how much has to be done to your car before you go down?
For some reason I always decide to do things to my car towards the end of the year, even thou I say to my self every time after the nats that I won't do that again. Its alot of time spent in the shed which is usually atleast 30 deg cause its summer and Im always busy at work leading up to Xmas.
Last year I was putting in a new glide and new interior.
This year its a little more.
My new engine is getting put together
I have a new 9' housing getting made
I have sand blasted and repainted K frame which has to be reassembled with all new bushes
I cleaned and painted the rear half of my undercarriage (what a c#!t of a job laying on your back on concrete painting tubs and floor pan)
And the whole thing needs to be put back together, lucky that toranas are easy to reassemble (apart from dropping in the chev & pipes). Ive posted some photos, but dont laugh at my spray painting, as it is the first time Ive ever used a spray gun. Overall I am happy with the job, it may have a few runs, but it is really glossy.
Is anyone else in the same vote, alot to do before heading to the nats. Post pics of your progress.
