Odd toranas

I've found a few, so feel free to add any pics you have of crazy toranas.
Let's start with some I think are from Jakarta.
I'm sure Heath will like the retarded "my tires are 16 sizes too skinny" look this thing has going on : )
I'm really intrigued by this thing. It's cool yet ugly at the same time. It looks very torana, but the rear is different, obviously it's a 2 door sedan, the rear wheel arches are different and even the sills and bottoms of the doors are different.
It has a torana dash, but the heater is different.
I think everyone has seen these 2 door sedan camaro looking ones, but they deserve a place in here.
I like the camaro style hide away headlights.
Here's another one with the camaro front end treatment.
I have a thing for 2 door sedans.
I've seen this on the forum somewhere. I assume it's a vauxhall frankenstein? I don't know, but I really like it.
If/when I can find a decent priced LH/LX sedan I'm going to build one of these!
Now it's time for some plain old uglyness!!!!
I've never seen a torana with bogged in flares that looked any good, and this is no exception. No offense to the owner, I just don't like it. Does anyone have any pics of moulded flares that look any good? There's a burgundy hatch up here with moulded flares. They're done really well but to me still look terrible.
Well that's a start. Please post any unusual torana pics you have in here, but make sure they're unusual, not just a stocko with sigma hubcaps!!!
I tried to find pics of a green LJ 2 door with GTS wheels that's been converted into a hatch back. Awesome idea! But I couldn't find any pics online. There's also a cool little yellow HB torana with an LC front and V8. I saw it in street machine, but only one pic, and I couldn't find that online either.
So there you go. Bring on the good the bad and the ugly : )

The yellow one with the HB frontend is on here somewhere too, I might have saved that pic as well, again if no-one else posts it first.
Also, there used to be a white LH/LX with the flares glassed? to the body around the Charlestown/Gateshead area that I used to see now and then when I worked over there. It didn't look too bad. I don't have any pics of it, but someone on here might know it.

I like that red/orange hatch, apart from the weird bonnet scoop and over riders. Nothing looks good with over riders!
I don't actually think those flares are moulded in are they? I think they just fit really well and bolt from the inside. I've seen a yellow hatch with the same flares, from NZ I think?
slr_v8 yes the green LC/LJ with the hatch back conversion. I love the idea of it. I've never seen it in the flesh but it looks like it's done well from the couple of pics I've seen of it in magazines.
Keep em coming : )

Here's that yellow one you mentioned, I didn't post it up before cos I didn't think it was that odd!
P.S. if you want a set of these smooth flares for one of your projects let me know as I've got a set here but I'm not gonna use them now...
