Well guys as some would know we picked up a grandpa spec LH torana to turn into a Barbados L34 replica... fast forward over a year and we sort of cheated a little lol managed to get hold of a lx that’s already painted...running gear is sorted just rebuilding the front end and sorting the interior out...the car we got was complete and on the road around 3 months ago I will post pics of what it looked like then and now the guy that owned it is building another car and wanted the running gear ect for his new build so all good saved me a shit load of work it’s not exactly L34 paint scheme but my son loves it

That is an absolutely stunning car! Colour, wheels, stance - exactly how these things should be built.
Just out of curiosity, i’d love to know rim and tyre sizes. It’s seriously phat.

The rallie wheels look good Daz, I'd rotate the letters to the inside though. Turning out well.
