Had my car for ages and resto was done in 2004 so quite a while ago now. Never really got around to posting pics or anything before now. (Grants hogging the TV so Im mucking around with the pics & scanner LOL) :spoton:

Basic history: Bought car for my 21st. Drove it as it for a few years then took off the road to resto, got divorced but kept the car. Lack of resto funds so garage ornament for a few years. Then after a trip to Summernats 2004 decided to kickstart the job, Dad and I went from pulled apart & painted car mid Feb 04 to finish start of April 04. Finished the Friday morning and drove straight to AMC Torana Nationals. Got a Bronze for LC GTR's. Since then she has been shipped to WA & back home to Brisbane & garaged alot LOL.

I put some of these in another thread but they can go in here too LOL. Cars specs are listed on Display board pic at the bottom.

Looks great Kel. It was about time you put some pics up for the rest of us to enjoy.
Miss Hatchy and I wouldn't be upset if young Seth came to pick up the Hatchling in that.
