hey guys its been a while,i just got home after picking up my new toy
it is an LH SLR/5000
,it runs a mild 308 4 speed toploader with a poxy vertical gate shifter(crap)and a 9in with 4.11 mini spool,hotwires 14x8 and14x91/2.
i guess a few people would have seen it on ebay,luckily i did not pay for it ,i traded another car i had for it .
i will post some pics of the ugly duckling shortly,(and i do mean ugly............(ahhhhhhhhh its good to be back in a square car again)

cheers all glenn

Something's telling me there's no rubber between the bodywork and the bodykit

Rollcage looks tough, wheels look tough, top end sounds tough, driveline is appropriately selected IMO and by crikey when's she gonna be at some Cruises? :rockon:

Looks tuff.

That was on ebay wasnt it??? :fool:

What do you plan on doing with it like bodywork, engine, wheels? I reckon some SLR 5000 stencils would look wicked :spoton:

From the window trims looks like an LH Slurry. Pity they ditched the gorgeous LH paint scheme. What's the go with the flares, they look rubberless.

Nice though, enjoy.

Also congrats on finally being able to afford one with the extra doors.

Hey Glenn, it's good to see you with a 4 door Torana again. I can't wait to see and hear about what your plans are going to be for it, are you going to turn it into more of a cruiser or an animal?

I agree it looks not bad at all. Although someone mentioned SL/R stencils. If it is an LH it should just have the stickers on the guards and rear spoiler. They look the best anyway.
