Those Wooden Brakes pull you up REAL good!
What the? Is this a farm hack - what are the blue poly lines for??
yeah thats a crackup, i'm thinkin second radiator ....

look at the door in the top pic, looks like a paddock basher to me!

What was really funny was telling the coppers that we bought it like that and were going to restore it.

It got driven 150kms on a permit with poly pipes running to a radiator in the boot.
When they blew the front radiator was hooked back up.
Wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

Started out really straight before a little bit of pushing.

I have more to add (unfortunately).

Not "the best" bent torrie, but I thought I would share....

This was my second Torrie, which I built from the wreck of my first. After building it for god knows how long...... and on the day I was driving to the servo to get a rego inspection..... I got rear ended, which pushed it into the taxi in front. I had stopped suddenly when a taxi in front did the same, and the car behind kept going.

BOOM.

Pushed me into the towbar of the taxi, which speared through the radiator!

Not happy.....
