Now, I want to build it from zero to hero :spoton:
First, I will fixed all the engine problem, because its dead now :cry:
After that, all the interior problem, coz it doesn't have any door trims at all.

But, I need an advice from all of you, so please give me the good one :)

Regards,
Dion

Hey mate welcome to the forums.

Good start you got there. Any ideas of what you want to do to it?

Looks like it's got air conditioning, get a picture of under the bonnet!

And I didn't know there were Torana's in Indonesia?

At least you have good taste in cars!

Looks like it needs a new set of springs

Thx!
At first, I want to fix all the engine problem because when i brought from the seller, suddenly the engine was dead by itself (on the highway), at Tuesday the mechanic will come and diagnose what is the problem

After that I will fix about the interior, all of it.

Yes, you right, it's got air conditioning, and it's work! :D

I think there's a lot of torana in my country.
But of course the spare part is rare :cry:

Any suggestion ?

He is commenting on how low the car sits hehehe, especially at the front! I've seen photos of modified Holden cars in Indonesia before, and they have all been lowered a lot. In Australia, people keep them higher off the ground (maybe there are no speed-humps in Indonesia?), I can't imagine that your Torana handles very well sitting so low, that is what 76lxhatch was talking about.

Anyway it looks like an interesting vehicle, I like seeing Toranas in other countries because they always have different modifications.

Do you know what motor & gearbox are in your car? Tell us a bit more and upload some more photos :)

Ahhhh... I like your comment! Thx!
About the sits, i still searching where I can find the original, maybe I will buy from the other Torana who sell only the sits.
Yeah you rite about the "lowered a lot" and actually I dont comfortable at all, that's why I will make it higher :D

Ok, I will upload more photos about the engine and the gearbox.
Maybe not now because the condition of the engine is very dirty everywhere, I'm shy :D

What engine does yours have?
Do you have a picture?


When you reply, use "post reply" at the bottom.

Use "reply" if you need to say what someone else has said.

This way, your thread will use less pages and be easier to read. :spoton:

Ok! Thx for your information! :)

The engine is still the original
The owner before me didn't swap the engine, only change the spark cable, coil, carburator and the header.

I will upload about that in a few hours.

I am interested in who modified the guards where the blinkers are?
I have never seen a cut out flat section where the number plate, bumper and indicators are before.

Twin exhaust too :)

A bit of a clean up and the engine, whats actually wrong with it?

Is it just me or is the top of the front end going along above the grill different to normal?
I don't remember mine being like that, but it's been a few years.

Due to limited availabilty of parts, sometimes things get done a little differently in some places. :D

Anyone that has travelled will know what I mean. ;)

I can't imagine that your Torana handles very well sitting so low, that is what 76lxhatch was talking about.

In fact its so low that I would be checking to see if the springs have been cut which would be quite dangerous.
