Hopefuly i will be sending the car to the trimers tomorrow arvo to get the hood lineing done and all in the back where the sound system is.

LC Toranas had a white parker/indicator on the front just below the bumper bar.

LJ Toranas had an orange parker/indicator on the front just below the bumper bar

cheers

Thats not exactly correct,

Not 100% accurate as I dont know the exact cutoff dates, but year wise-

72 LJ toranas had white as the indicator and parker shared a globe.

73LJ toranas had orange indicators with the parker integrated into the headlights

Car looks good with the bonnet on and front door back together.
Had a few looks on the way to the trimmer. one bloke run up the foot path and anouth almost snaped his neck turning to look at the car.
Was worth the drive out.

[Shtstr]

MMMMMMM not sure if i want to paint mine like that.
Will see what it looks like when i get it back from being plated as with the head light surrounds

Car's looking great.

I would recommend you use a cover when moving it in future, not all that attention you are getting is the sort you want. Most people whith something desirable do this nowadays - myself included.

Also, If you know a reputable and trustworthy tilt tray driver then stick with the same one, or move it yourself with a trailer.

I know 2 guys at work who have had attempted thefts of their cars by registered tilt tray drivers in Brissy - must be a good cash in hand side business.

Sad that it has come to this but you simply do not want certain types of people knowing where your car is garaged or being worked on.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the heads up.
Car is under constin lock and key as we all know the length some will go to for these types of cars. i wont transport my car anywhere unless 1 i'am in it or 2 i'am in hot pursuit of it. (never out of my site.)
The place where it is now, the trimmer has been a good friend of mine for over 25 years and i trust him otherwise it would not be there.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT COMPANY THESE TOWIE'S ARE FROM POST IT UP SO WE ALL KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT COMPANY?????
Thanks Dave
