Very nice car indeed, mine is nearly finished but I am quite/very reluctant to take it to Toranafest or any car show for this very reason. I'm sure only the fanatic" rivet counters" will pick anything on your car, ignore them, most others who appreciate any well built Torana will admire it for the finish & standard you have presented the car in & the work you've done to get it there. Well done!!
lol, tossers will always be tossers Grant.
Car looks grouse

John,
sort of sorted the carbies but they are not fully 100% put it on the dyno and got 180 HP at the wheels or 225HP at the fly wheel so with a shit box parts engine that i bought for $2000 bucks I'm pretty happy with that, in fact i'm stoked !
ps - i had no idea what i was doing with this engine , Ive never built an engine before, or even partly planned this engine
they tell me now, the cam is too big - the cam was with the engine parts , and I didn't ask and no one informed me on the size , it was sort of the last thing on my mind.- it sounds awesome though !
Its; Gross valve lift .556
duration @ .015 tappet lift 313
duration @ .050 intake 261 exhaust 261
lobe lift .371
lobe separation 108.0
over all it's now a lot more drive able, but it's could be a lot more crisper in the 1- 2.5k rev range , we also think that there is still an issue with one of the carbies but with T fest comming up i cannot leave it there over the weekend.
but anything over 2000 rpm it's happy days
OK so the weekend chores are;
Saturday
1) windows - front
2) glove box
3) visors
4) under lay and carper in front only
5) pull off rear drum as it now has a metal scrapping noise on wheel rotation
sunday
1) windows - as they will have given me shit on saturday
2) finish off door mechanisms
3) door cards and badges
4) door rubbers and door adjustment
5) finish off grill and finish off tightening, bit and pieces around grill
6)drill new molding rivets under rear flipper windows and line up the moldings on the roof and put on
7) change oil filter and top up oil
have a beer
If you got nothing to do i can still save the doors and the door glass till sunday and you can come and give me a hand

Grant, Lucky is a credit to you, she looks stunning. Wish I had been there to see her in the flesh however I can taste lime just by looking at that pic.
Well done!
Cheers
