Sweet projects. The parents will have a nice one once they move though. I was going to ask if you restrored that yourself, but then i saw the "jeep". I'm sure you did. Did you fab a new firewall or smooth what was there? btw, what was there?

Forget all the mean things I've said (and thought) about you. That is a mean looking car.
What is it?

hehe. it's a 1972 holden torana. as you can see, i haven't exactly looked after it cosmetically in the time i've owned it ;D. it has a 3 litre 6 in it, which doesn't sound big compared to some of the cars posted here :o but then it only just tips the scales at a ton (or is it tonne? almost the same weight either way). this model (lj) was one of the few 6 cyl models to win the australian touring car championships.the model after this one came out with 4, 6 or 8 cyl options. dunno why you would have bought a 4 though...
it's unregistered now, but one day i'll get it back on the road. i still take it for the odd spin around the block though :). the only things i don't like is the crappy gearbox and that is has no airconditioning. i live in the tropics so that's a bit of a bummer...
