PICS OF THIS LC GTR TORANA

This Torana is a mates original 1970 model LC GTR and after around a year of looking for a 2 door LC/J, this baby popped up for a reasonable price of $3,200. It even had the original hub caps on it, which have since been replaced by a set of rebel mags. He has owned it for around five years now and has since turned it into a street machine which is more than capble of smokin 'em up in the first 3 gears, but also has the problem of attracting a lot of unwanted attention wherever it goes. It is an original GTR and had a blue 202, bored 30 thou, stage 3 yella terra head, Big Xu-1

cam, straight cut timing gear, a set of triple 175 Stomburgs. It also has an M22 munchie gearbox and a brass button clutch. Inside is a big autometer tacho with shift light which lights up around 7500 rpm, SAAS racing seats and rpm racing harnesses, half cage, and a shitty little CD player which hardly gets played anyway (whats the point, you cant hear it). Sitting under this baby is a set of lowered king spings and and also a set of koni adjustable shockies. Before he took it off road It was pulling a 15 second quater mile and would hark 'em up in 3rd without any effot at all, but at the moment it is

resting in the shed ready for a transplant which he's hoping will cut his times down to the 12 second bracket. While it is resting off road a whole fibreglass front end is planned to be put in place, along with a fibreglass bonnet and bootlid, also a full roll cage is ready to be welded in aswell. Countless amount of time and money have gone into this beast, not forgetting the 12 diffs which were snapped and 6 more which were welded up and put back in ( dodgey, but good fun), 5 or six axels went "twang" and more tires than a wrecking yard, but hey, it's all in good fun. After changing all them diffs and axels he decided to upgrade to an 8 & 3/4 inch locker which should beable to hold all the

grunt from the new "maybe supercharged" donk. The photos i've got on here at the moment aren't the best and they are all a bit old but when it's back on the road i'll get a few decant photos and maybe even a movie of little smokey or two. Well thats my mates torana, now to mine. I have a 4 door LC torana which i've stripped back and am nearly ready to paint, I'm putting the XU-1 flutes and dash into it, and a half cage for now. But it should be ready to go soon and hopefully i'll get some pics of that on here soon, I might even hack a little foot on or two for ya's all to check out.
