Gotta start somewhere bud.

I have always liked the "Road Rebel" wheels on the Torana. Same as the front left in the first photo of the second post.

A hatch is a hatch! It should be easy to get that number-plate sheet metal area straight out of any LH/LX/UC. No easy suggestions on the C pillars though.

Thanks for your feedback guys, rebels are going on the car I like them .I want around 300 for the cheviots. The pillars are done thankfully and not sure about taillight conversion yet .Just going to keep plodding away at it and hopefully I will get it looking pretty nice.
Long way to go yet.
