Yeah I know the WB you're talking about but I'm not keen on anything after HQ and Pannos don't quite weigh shit-all.

Anyway I shouldn't be thinking about anything else right now. Back to Toranas...

I dunno about the weight issue man, with my LPG & Turbo gear, my torry will be tipping the scales at about the same weight as my 253 auto Hz pano! Will have a fair bit more grunt than the 253, and be manual as well.

Speaking of your torry, you going to convert it to LPG? Dual fuel maybe or straight? Mine is going straight lpg, and with the price of petrol the way it is, i'm thinking about changing my mind on the dual fuel on my pano & just going for straight LPG with a gas research carby. Depends if i can lay my grotty hands on one cheap enough lol.

Cheers

Ded. LPG but it won't be a priority until I realise how much my car will actually drink

Heath,

She's looking good mate, keep up the good work.

On the subject of how much it will drink, well my LH had a 173ci, stock & in great health, std stromburg funnel, 3spd manual & with my P plater foot, i was drinking on average 20/100. Fark me it was expensive! That's why i converted to lpg, and saved a crap load. After i paid off the conversion, i bought a set of mags & tyres with the savings from 2mths of running on lpg. Then i used further savings to buy other bits to upgrade it, like the disc brake conversion, tinted windows, cd player & so on. lol.

I wish mine looked half as good as yours atm!

Cheers

Looking good Heath

Bloody hell ToranaGuy you must have had a pretty heavy foot. I get about 12 to 13l/100km around town still not overly economical though, especially for the performance.

Great work mate! How good is putting all the parts back on for a quick photoshoot! You also normally can't whipe the smile off your face! (Or your parents cos they "think" they might get their carport back soon!!!! LOL)

:clap:
