Looks very very nice mate.

Simmons aint that expensive really, i got quoted $630 each for show wheels in 15", i think 17 is about $750 a piece. Really all those mad rims are around the same price. I'll be getting a set of dragways soon :D

Cheers.

hey,

Its been a while since I have posted much about the car but lately it has been coming along great. Not much was done on the car from Oct-Jan due to Uni, work and Dad and I spening most weekends down the coast working on our caravan site.

The car is running, its a little lumpy I think there may be a problem with the oxygen sensor because thats the error code that is coming up but we are taking it to a mechanic and maybe dyno tuner soon.

The wiring is finished and the car is getting the rest of the exhaust and brakes finished this week.

Following this we will fit the Mitsubishi FTO seats and the electric windows which will be time consuming.

We have also been getting ideas and quotes from auto trimmers.

Heres some shots over the past 8 months.

Car is getting very close to being on the road now. Planning to be a Toranafest this year

All the guards are on, all glass is in, its lockable.

All that needs to be done is front sway bar, front and rear bumpers, finalise brackets for front seats, make console and then get the interior finished off.

Since last post we have had the exhaust fitted dual 2inch. Brakes finalised with lines run internally and hand brake hooked up.

Brakes being done after exhaust was fitted.

Great to see some updates Youngy! Have to get you, myself and V6Hatch to form a club for the V6 Toranas of Sydney!

Keep it up and get it finished and bring it to the drag day :tease:

Hey mate I had a big browse through your whole build and all I can say is:
I WANT TO GO TO TORANAFEST!
Very nice hatch! Top job! :spoton:
Even though I always thought a commy V6 ruined a torana...but every one to thier own. As long as your happy with it, thats all that matters!

Cheers.
