What's wrong with this pic?

The 'C' pillars look intact & the gutter seal channel is still there. Also, the rear beaver doesn't seem to have big holes either.

Are you sure it's a hatchback? lol

Finally!!!.... picture proof of the long lost Brock/Bathurst/HDT holdensaidwecantbuildit A9Y prototype!

If you planning on going ahead with the IRS then don't forget to post all the steps, good or bad, have often thought about doing this in a sedan but didn't have clue where or how to start

floor pan is sitting beside the car? looks good with irs, better than the first H series with a jag diff stuffed under it I saw.

Your using a Commodore IRS back end and not a R32 Skyline IRS which is a better/easier fit and a far superior rear end?

[dattoman]

And im abit confused about it having a borg warner diff conversion AND IRS? (when you say borg warner I think early holden rear live axle diff, or is there actually a Borg Warner IRS diff? I donno whats in the later model commodores?)

VP-VT1 IRS was the same diff as the live axle, VT2 to VZ(?) went to M80 but is still a Borg Warner

IRS?

Yes.

The shockers aren't fitted.

If you take the rubber bung out of the Torana wheel arch and look straight down you can see the shocker mount pin on the IRS.

The 'C' pillars look intact & the gutter seal channel is still there. Also, the rear beaver doesn't seem to have big holes either.

14 months it took to get this car on the road for my son. Most of that was hatch rust repairs.

track car?

Yes, hopefully.

No F@RD diffs, no twin Subaru motors.


And yoose others?
Regarding the UC lights? What lights? I don't see no lights?
