Any updates?

[turbo76lx]

No real updates, have been working on this one.

And melted a hole in number 6 piston in the purple hatch, lift pump failed and leaned out at Heathcote last October. The motor is currently at JPC getting rebuilt.

Looking at the cover of the street machine and wondering if that's a different torana.

Looking at the cover of the street machine and wondering if that's a different torana.

I thought the same at first, but that cover car is running fats and skinnies so no awd drivetrain i don't think, tough car though.

[DR 32R]

Then this one is obviously more deserving of being a cover car, for the difficulty of installing the full drive train, but it may not end with the bling factor that street machine publishes,

Click on the image and go to his photo bucket. Lots of progress shown there. Impressive welding his own retro wheel centres to the rim to match the hub offset.

Got a shock when I saw an LX on the cover of Street Machine with the title 'GODZILLA' - I totally thought it was this build until I flicked through. Looks great but made me more excited about this one.

Awosme build.. Everyone keeps telling me I'm an idiot for wanting to put a JZ in my LC..

Posting for updates!

Top quality work mate!

[Nightcrawler]

Loving this build. Please keep the updates coming!

[r32-25t]

Awosme build.. Everyone keeps telling me I'm an idiot for wanting to put a JZ in my LC..

is that because they think you should put a v8 in it and be slow like everyone else?

[summernats975]

Following this awesome build. You are very talented, The brother in-law and I put a 2jz gte into a lx sedan and that thing was mental with 290kw at the wheels but didnt stop or turn corners very well cant wait to see the finished product

[OZ38]

Absolutely love your work.

Following this build.

Cheers

Update time. So finished building the LX sedan, rebuilt motor back in the purple hatch just waiting to get it tuned, brought a HT kingswood I'm still trying

to work out why I brought it, and gave my HJ panel van some love.

The HT

The van, air baged, 9", 4 link, tubbed, injected 308, t700 box.

So now I'm back into this project, brought some recaro SR2 and started setting up the panels to set the panel gaps and fit the flairs which will need a bit of work.

[turbo76lx]

Ended up getting some Achilles 265/35 18 sport 2's to set up the flairs, the front flairs are going to need a lot of work.

I think I will need to cut them and extend the height to allow for when the wheels are turned and suspension travel.

And why, because voices.
