Found a photo of this today while surfing the web, its a LJ based Daewoo that was sold in Korea as the Chevrolet 1700.

thats just way too confusing for the brain.

looks like a torrie nose on a corolla wagon.

I feel some nightmares coming on.

Regardless of what anyone says, I would still LOVE to have one, despite how ugly it is.

I'm pretty sure there's been a thread on this some time ago? (I can't find it :dontknow: )
And, hasn't a forum member, one of the daves?, got a wagon in his avatar or sig? :huh:

I believe you're correct on both counts Rodomo.

Off topic-Rodomo, can I borrow your signature?

Ohh there is also the LJ panelvan which I think was genuinely very good looking, that was a deep metallic blue from memory, from Qld? I think it was gemini gear on the rear end but maintained LJ tail lights and fuel cap

If you have a look at even an LH/LX firewall & bonnet, you will quickly realised that they were designed to suit LHD as well ;)

EDIT: I have a few photos of LC/LJs that are LHD from foreign countries, but PhotoBucket is not working atm

I am sure this has come up a few times. I'm still a little undecided if i like it or not, but personally i think i would own one.

I still want to see the rear of one but i feel it would look similar to the Mitsubihi Galant or Mazda 808 Wagons

I still reckon it looks like they took an LJ and grafted a 120y wagon rear end on it...

I believe the LJ wagon was based on the Opel Asconda Voyager see http://www.ascona-a-...ank Vorst..html

I believe the LH was the first all Australian Design Torana.

Remember it's not an Australian concept man, like every second Jap car in the 70s had fender mirrors

that could be easily fixed just rip em off
i think it would be awsome if it had a 308 in it would be the ultimate sleeper look tho
