G'day All,
We are finally getting back into the LJ rally car project and i need some advice. What is the name of a standard torana orange such as this http://www.oldgmh.or...Don_Holland.JPG.
We will re paint our LJ in orange and black and i want to use an original torana colour.
Cheers
Stewart

orange and black rally torana.....
I have a magazine called "performace build ups" and there is a company that built an orange and black rally car, with silver mini-lite style wheels..
Might be worth going for another colour to be different again, but if orange is what you are set on, then do some searching on the forums, there are alot of paint threads on original colours.

That Don Holland car is more than likely Rally Red.
The orange used on LJ's is called Tangerine.

Looks like Lone Oranger on my screen.
Steve Coad built a magnificent LJ rally car in that colour.

G'day All,
It's been ages since i updated this thread, i am bored at work and thought it about time.
Here are some pics of the project and the finished product. I will put up some more of the project pics soon. We are taking the car over to race in SA next week so I will put those phots up aswell.
The Red was god awful
Freshly painted on Lone Oranger
The finished car before its first race - it has a few more battle scars now.
The Rover Crew with the car after its first event.

Yeah it would be fantastic to see more about this car. I actually agree with Heath about something.

Good to see someone agrees with Heath every now and then.
I have put up some more of the pics I have, unfortunatly I don't have any interior photos. But the car has 6 point roll cage, race seats, harnesses etc.
I spose I should have added this before, some of the things the car has are;
202 - WW Stromberg, Small Mystery cam, Extractors
Standard Trimatic, Collom shift
Banjo 3.55 LSD
Standard Disc brakes
Raised Springs - New Monroe Shocks
Bash Plates
This is the car when we first got it running, the red was awful!
Painting primer
Painting Topcoat
Finished Topcoat
This year we rebuilt the brakes and installed raised springs, both of which helped us substansally.
These are some photos from this years mudbash where we placed 6th overall.

Nice to see those pics Stew.
Here are a few more pics of the car;
"Opposite Lock 2009";
And for Heath another pic of the grass lol;
A group of us are heading over to "SANDBLAST" this weekend in S.A to compete, hopefully will be a successful weekend.
