OK people. I think I've been a pain for long enough. This next pic has had no photo shopping done to it at all. It's 100% unmodified.

What??? I never said it was a pic of the torana. I never said it was going to be pretty either : ) hahaha

If ever there was a photo that needed photo shopping ......

Wait a minute, that might be the pot calling the kettle black, or is that orange, or yellow or ....

Well, isn't this fun : ) hahaha.

Today sure was fun. I got to sand the intake manifold and prime it, then pull the outer bits off the motor and started cleaning for paint. Yay!


I even invented a new light weight "race" sump : )


Posted Image



Once the new sump was made (hehe) I took the fuel rails, injectors, power steering res, coils, belts and various other pieces to get at the intake better for priming. Everything will eventually come off for painting.


Posted Image


The joys of sanding intake manifolds. Makes a big difference though having it all smooth.


Posted Image


A quick mask up and ready for primer.


Posted Image


It looks 100 times better already even just in primer. I'm glad I bothered to sand it smooth now. Even though the engine covers will cover most of the engine, I wanted this part to be better than stock.


Posted Image

Posted Image


I started priming some of the smaller brackets too. Here's the modified accelerator cable mount.


Posted Image


At least there's only a crapload of small things to paint : )


Speaking of paint, the inside of the guards and nose cone got done earlier and now they're fitted back onto the car.


Posted Image

Posted Image


All the inner edges of the guards and nose cone in the engine bay are painted.


Posted Image

Posted Image


I think the inner hinge area looks awesome with the new paint and HPC coated hinges with stainless bolts. mmmmm......shiny : )


Posted Image


These rotten hairy caterpillars love this car. I'm always getting these little bastards on me when I work and they make you itch like mad. I get great pleasure from squashing as many of them as I can.


Posted Image


I took a few bits home today. Nice to know it's nearly done.


Posted Image

So there you go : )

Look, I know you're having fun with your Photoshop, but can you please stop making everything Barbados green? It only looks good on sedans and last time I checked, you had 2 doors on that car. Post some up that are black, just for kicks. Try silver? :)

At least now we know its not yellow or barbados green - the background colours are all wrong.

I assure you, the background colours are all correct. Keep guessing : )

How much do you charge for the super awesome lightweight racing sump? Oh, don't bother..... You are probably booked out with all the v8 supercar teams clawing at each other to be the first to use them. Looks like I'll be using the really crap, stone age, heavy as buggery, average Joe sump for the next 5 years :(

Kush, the great thing about these new light weight sumps is the cost. Go to woolies and buy some groceries and they'll give you one for free. It's amazing!!!!! hahaha


Paul, purple sounds good. Let's go with that : )
