Hey guys thought id throw up a couple of pics of my HB torana project I call Harold i have had it now for a couple of years with no real massive progress just little things i guess.

Pics of when i Brought it.

Lj Torana front grafted in.

Rear end

When we stripped it to bare metal

engine i brought for it

test fitting motor and buliding engine plate

So far most of the work has been around the motor just changing little bits and pieces till we could get it the way we wanted. Car is currently at A.T.S automatics where adam slorach is tending to the chassis diff fierwall and floor (previous owners work not the best quality) for me hoping to have it ready for summernats but U.B.C 2015 is a more realstic goal.

Hey Jamie, nice starting point, a mate of mine had a pink 2 door HB up here in Darwin set up for a chev, it was a neat little car with a rear end similar to yours but the silly bugger sold it.
Good luck with the build mate, will be a rocket when done by the looks of it.

Cheers Bullet

so i went down to ats automatics to check the torrie out the other week and i grabbed a coupple of pics of the work adam and clinton did for me.

Heres the floor pan and trans tunnel they fabed up for me.

Fierwall still needs a little bit of work to complete

Engine mounts remade so i can install and remove the motor easier

Heres a pic of the insdie of the tub where it has been skikkend with 3mm and the inside of the wheel arch on the body has been skinned to because ill be banging treds off it at power crusie and such i wanted it to last.

A pic with the rear wheels under the car

Sorry about the quality of te pics only have my phone one me at the time.
