Hey Guys,

I thought we should start a thread showing your Torana and how it looked when you got it, to how it looks now!

I'll start it off!

Very large changes there! Least you had a decent and straight base to begin with though.

pictures can be very deceiving! It was a MESS when i got it, RUST and very dodgy body work!

Come on, More pics!!

Doesnt need to be a drastic change, even if its just Wheels or something! Show us how you have changed your ride to suit you!

Credit where it's due if you don't mind. :<_<:

There is no front wheel in the top pic which meant I had to jack it up twice.
The Torana badge has gone from the guard.
AND it's had a wash! :D
