Looks like it has been worth the wait! What size Holley/Holley look-alike is that?

I agree about the body colour bonnet/scoop. Unless you're gonna do the full A9X black outs.

Would love to see it at a Toranafest...

Hi all done shit all on the goatmobile due to work and being lazy got some more motivation atm so might make the effort to get it on the road finally

Things ive done and need to do
I ditched the a9x scoop and going with a camaro reverse cowl type now
Tailshaft loop is done and went together sweet
Interior still needs door trims and seatbelts and its just about done
Going to replace the front and rear painted bars with chrome ones
Need to find a air filter to cover the holley dominator
Need to reposition my fuel pump and filter to above the diff behind the fuel tank atm it hangs out the back like dog balls
Need new front tyres for the front runners or i may get some slighter wider wheels and tyres for the street and have the skinnys for drags etc
Need to fix gearbox crossmember bolthole on one side has being squashed and thread is all rooted any suggestions

I thought it was about time for a update progress has being made on the torana slowly but steady
- Sold off the holley dominator and got a 750HP with flashy fuel log and throttle bracket
- Fuel pump a holley blue shat itself so replaced it with a carter pump sounds quieter and less grindy then the holley
- Picked up a secondhand set of monza seats they are a bit faded and worn but good enought for my standards
- The nine inch that came with the car turned out to be junk cracked housing shitty welds two random axles and had front ford drums fitted the centre was the only thing
worth saving now have a brand new housing and billet axles cleaned up and adjusted the centre 3.5 mini spool with hq drum brakes
- When the new diff was ready to go in i got a set of adjustable upper and lower trailing arms from mcdonald bros
- A mate made up a thermo fan shroud for some davies craig fans i picked up
- Same mate is currently cutting out some ally door trims to give it that racing look
- Fitted a gilmer drive to get have that gilmer sound

Still got a list of things to do but its getting closer some current pics
