G'day. My name's Matt and recently I bought the "Rust Free" green UC Torana of the fellow forum member micklx.

It just sat there for a week or two until recently. Today I had Heath around and we got started. He brought some spare seats that he had lying around, and we bolted them in, washed the car and we're gonna give it a bit of a cut and polish tomorrow as the Lina Mint paintjob is very faded.

At the moment she's a 173, Four speed on the floor, Small Salisbury, 13" stockies, cream interior and awful Sunbird dash which has been riced up by one of the previous unknown owners - he painted it red ffs! (Heath wanted me to make a point of that, he also cut the springs to about 1/3 of their height, and painted the brakes red without assembling them again properly olololol)

My plans are to spray it in Phantom Purple Metallic 2k, with a black and blue interior, nice set of 15"s or 16"s, and probably a 253 under the bonnet.

P.S. Heath is a filthy ranga!

Had the boys over today and we gave it a cut and polish so now looks not as faded, and heaps of the stone chips etc are gone.

Well I guess the purple would go well with the "BRESCIANI Racing" sticker on the back window. It may also recieve some 20" chromies, a white leather interior, huge stereo and RB30T with a flutter gate... :tease:

Hey man, dont listen to the biassed freaks who drive a "lesser" Torana like LJ's or LH's... ha ha!!

You can go far in a UC, mine's been to melbourne and back (7000km round trip) twice in as many years!! I rekon the purple will look good so long as its a nice dark purple!!

If your gonna get decent mags for it, go 16", you wont regret it... Everyone has 15's, 16's are different for a change!!

Cheers

But isn't there a blue UC sedan which wears 16" Simmons or something, I think he might even be on these forums? He'd be copying that dude anyway, so it wouldn't be that original.

I've seen some that aren't great. I've seen Kingswoods suffer more, but Toranas do sometimes recieve some awful modifications. I'll show you tonight...
