Hi Black Dice, It's Toranas like yours mate is what it's all about for me. In my opinion there isn't a dollar wasted there mate. It's ABSOLUTELY WICKED.Reminds me of Jason Allen's Black A9X. Posted Image Same motorvation that's on your wall.You don't know what issue your posters out of been after it for about 6 years.By the way I think street machine is looking for you. Cheers from Paul

Thanks to everyone for the comments as it has made all the late nights and the highs and lows for the last four and half years all worth it , lxss51 I never thought my car would be motivation for others but than again I guess Jason Allen was thinking the same thing when he built his hatch, but that was the first poster to go up on my wall which gave me the inspiration to do what i did. The poster that you are talking about Paul I believe from memory was in a special edition posters from Street Machine which they released I think 4 to 5 years ago, I only came across it by accident . Well she's back down on the ground again the panel for the bonnet latch is all finished and bolted on, next thing is to pull off the front brakes and rotors as I'm not happy with the set-up and will be putting bigger rotors and calipers more for safety than looks .

My link

The above link is to the start-up of the hatch, don't take any notice of that moron hopping out of the car he should not be there. I hope this works if not let me know as I'm having trouble loding it up onto the Torana Forum.

G'day Black Dice,

I've been following your build as well. Always looking forward to the latest post.
Are you planing a public launch at a show or a low key meet & greet get together somewhere?
I only ask this because I, like so many, would like to meet the man & the machine.
Also would be good to get a few Toranas together. What do you reckon?

Looking and sounding great BD

and to those asking about the bonnet have a look at it he has made covers on the inside of it which add weight to it hence the prop

A very nice example of a quality hatchback!!!

No doubt Black Dice will spur on a few more black hatches.

Worthy of a wallpaper and/or poster and/or magazine article.

I still don't understand why it needs a prop. Unless he has taken the springs out of the hinges? I haven't looked through the whole thread, so not sure.

I did an HQ years ago for a guy and I welded a sheet of 1.6mm uner the bonnet for a full smooth finish and the standard hinges had no problems with that.

OK, you got me, I'm just bitching because I don't have a sweet black hatch : (


Good work BD.
