I'd like to share the restorations of my Amethsyt LC GTR and recently acquired LC GTR XU-1 'Bathurst' Toranas.

Below are some pictures of the XU-1

LC GTR came with a 202 this has been replaced with a CD prefix 173 engine as a CF has been pretty much impossible to find!

The right manifold and carby was also found to go on the GTR, the rocker cover decal is yet to be added. The XU-1 will get a CK block and head sometime towards the end of the year and a set of nibless rims. I am interested to know if the XU-1 actually had a decal added to the rocker cover for the CK cars as the 173 had one, any ideas??
