I took great pleasure in telling people it was a UC when i was there looking at it again (Saw it at toranafest)
One bloke called me a frOcking idiot as he walked past when he heard me telling a nice old guy that it was a UC.
Being the shrinking violet i am, i told said guy to look at the compliance plate.
He said "Its a frOcking LX mate, look at the front end, i know my toranas."
"Well box head you dont know this one, it's a UC."
He came over looked the compliance plate, looked at me, looked back then said to his equally dickhead mate "frOck why would you bother."
I loved it. Yep you know your toranas mate.
Nothing like a bit of controversy.

Thanks for posting your pics Toranavista. It's nice to see pics that I didn't have to take : )
I think it was quite fitting to have an "actual" street car in the Street Machine stand.
Adrian, sounds like you had fun with some dumb asses : )

Great pictures and detail of the uc conversion. I have looked at all 65 pages of your build and wanted to know a few more details on fitting the nosecone and front bumper. What were the main problems/ hurdles you had in fitting the nosecone? Also I believe the lx front bumper has different mountings. Your method of cutting the uc fenders was a great idea.
Would appreciate your views on the above.
Sorry if the detail was in the 65 pages, I must have missed it.

The fella that took the pics was at my place the morning i think he came to photograph this, Tony Rabitte, he mentioned he was going to take pics of a orange hatch and when my sample pics came back he accidentally named them OMG350 but were pics of my car, anyway nice car and congrats on the feature, well deserved

Cheers Josh. I think my brother is pretty happy with the article. I'm glad it made it into the mag. I'm pretty proud of it seeing as it was just built in a little double garage by some no name fella hahaha : )

Just thought I'd do a quick update. Car is still going well. Mr Brother takes it out 3 or 4 times a week, which is pretty good I think.
I'm still waiting for the phone call saying "It's not fast enough. Turbos?" hehehe
