I am wanting to track down some pictures "if any taken" of Torana's whilst being assembled at GMH. I have seen plently of ones with HQ's but never LC/LJ's or LH/LX's.
As an owner and enthusiast of these cars I would love to have some pics in my collection.

Here's a few mixed ones from the National Archives site. Had a look for LH/L but nothing on there.

G'day 2600s
The only assembly line pics I have are of Acacia Ridge on its last day of operation in 1984 and in the pic is a Gemini TD with Playboy spreads in the back window and I also have another pic of the Wiring Line crew on that last day.
I do however have 2 aerial shots of Acacia Ridge in the early 70s, schematic diagram of the plant's opening in 1965 and an Inspectors "WARNING" ticket that was put on the windscreens of cars that had front suspension faults.
My prized Acacia Ridge memorabilia are 2 Inspectors Dust coats one of which Harry Firth signed for me last year with "Harry Firth HDT 1969-77".
Let me know if you want these put up on the forum.
Regards ...... Barry
