As you can see from the pic's she had bee cut up a fair bit, the front was cut up the dash had been removed their was no floor in the rear under the back seat at all as it had been rusted out and coved with cooper sheet. Also the cage was in it in such a way that to remove the cage would have colapsed the car in half.

i thought about going v8 but thats been done. plus with the price of fuel insurance and rego, it was a far cheaper and just as easy going with the jap motor plus it sound std and has big balls.
Yeah fair enough, may have been a bit of a harsh comment on my behalf.
As i say just my opinion, and not meant to be a critisisum.
Still be watching the progress with interest.
Cheers

All good mate everyone has there own idea's, and likes and dislikes. so each to there own. By the way if things hadn't got so expensive it would of had a holden or chev v8 in it.
But when i started i also looked at the fact that there was heaps of them arround and at that point i didn't know of any with a rb25 in one. as i started this in 2001 so it's been a long process and now there are a few of the lc lj torana's with RB 30's and 25's in them so ooh well such is life.
