Got back from holden museum in echuca today. I was pretty disapointed they only had 2 torana's.
And not many cars at all to be honest, i had higher expectations.

Nah, round there again today just passing by. Dad knows him pretty well so we stop in ther from time to time (even before the car)
Still sitting in the yard.

Shouldn't be to long though. The big mining fans and things he was doing were getting loaded as we got their which he wanted to finish before he started. Few more mining things in front of my car as well i think.

But it's only going to cost be about 100-200 dollars so i guess he can take his time.

Anyways picked it up, he kept the old shocks for his morris minor (he has about 100 of the things no idea which one)

Should shiny up the brakes. Or get new ones.

Reco'd steering rack.
Put it all together.
Straightend lower control arm things (near the balljoint) apparently most of them bend out of shape which effects the camber or something (to busy coughing/blowing nose at the time to fully follow it.
Bit of paint
Springs wouldn't fit in upper tower, made them fit (ground some off the spring)

Balls. Rang panel beaters to see were they are up to. Apparently 3rd on the list now however that happen.

So a few months off.

Thinking about doing the engine and getting the webbers so when it gets done (if ever) i can just bolt everything in and go go go.

Yea got them off a lot easier than i thought.

Took the boot off and all the arms etc. I was gonna leave the arms on but someone already pulled them off while i was doing other things.

Bags not putting them back on

What could possibly go wrong with the bike brakes? Get in and have a go bro, you're not going to learn anything by letting someone else do it!

The number you have shown is for the individual part #. You need to measure the throttle butterfly eg. 1 1/2", 1 3/4" etc.

Bike is worth quite a bit of money i think it was a few k when i bought it so i would rather know what im doing properly or get someone else to do it.
