Recently rescued this awesome LX Torana and now not sure what to do with it?
What do you think.....
Is it too good to cut up?
Just Cruise it?
SLR5000 it?

Fix the door, detail it, stick plates on it and cruise. You've got a winner there.

Please don't do the SLR clone/look-a-like. Soooo many of them. I'd go conservative. It's too good to mess with. Detail the hell out of it and whack on a set of nice wheels then enjoy it. Once it's polished and super clean you'll love it more. Great car!

Pearler All I'd do is add 14" HQ GTS wheels , lower it, and put a nice sounding exhaust on it with maybe a small cam Perfect period correct cruiser

@@TuffMounts Yeah mate it was quick, but the bloke before me put 411 gears in it and was horrible on the highway. But I wish I wasn’t so young when I had it. Always bleed when I think of the cars I had when I was younger bud, if I had just half a brain lol 😂👍

Do nothing but pull it apart and clean with respray but maybe pull the banjo out and replace with a vn vp diff just so if you do get up it one day your not stranded on the side of the road with a broken axle or centre

15 inch chevy wheels, on HQ stud pattern. Brakes ? I have a WB van , some years ago I also had a 74 corvette. Front end looks almost identical, except the corvette had huge 4 piston calipers that worked fantastic. Have wondered ever since, if they could bolt straight on. Wish I had tried whilst I had the vette. HQ _ WB brakes are shit. Corvette wheels fitted the WB but the WB wheels, 14 inch wouldnt fit over the vette calipers .
@TuffMounts
@TuffMounts Год назад
We will need to change the front brakes to HQ a few mods are required to get it done, Rear will either need new axles or a diff change to be able to do it right.
