ok first my daily driver. Its an LH Torana with a mildy worked 202, fuel injected with a delco conversion. VP V8/VL Turbo brakes front, vn rear discs, borg warner housing cut down to suit the Torana, T700 with a stage 2 shift kit and B&M shifter.
Commodore 16 inch alloys!
please excuse the mess in this next photo, it was just after i got the delco on there.
shes been dynoed at 140hp at the wheels prior to the delco going on.

In the not too distant future i will be pulling this motor out and slotting in an ecotec motor.

now one of my projects is an FB Ute which has a VR V6, T700, borgy diff, 300mm twin piston front brakes and vn rears, its got the VR steering column in it, aswell as the complete VR wiring loom, its also got VR seats and B&M shifter. Very much a work in progress but its at a driveable stage so its getting there!
i also have a TG Gemini which will possibly be getting a delco one day ... at the moment its got a 202 in it with a 450 holley, 2 speed glide, 31 spline full spool borgy and vt front discs .... this one is being setup for the strip ...

i also have an eaton m90 for it one day down the track!!

The torana looks good Sam. Hope to see some good progress on your other projects too.

thanks mate, the torana probably looked better in the pic than it is, but its reliable and i love driving it even in the middle of summer

as for updates, don't worry about that, its what im good at and i spend far to much time in the shed

Dont we know it youre allways in the shed.least when your in there your productive and have some cool projects driving out of it in the end.see the FB obviously hasnt got a handbrake yet good old brick brake in front of the wheel

actually its got this in it
grafted from a commodore it works, im just too slack to adjust the drums in the wheels so it works properly!

nice gonna be pretty retro with all the later model gears in it.

well man im hoping it will drive like a commodore and look like an old holden ... if it does i'll have acheived my goal!

well just now i have sent of an email the my engineer informing him of my intentions to fit the ecotec to the Torana so fingers crossed there will be no hiccups ... and then it will pretty much be a matter of me getting a tailshaft made up then working out a weekend to do the swap!

The axles for the gemini have finally arrived!!
very happy with the other than i requested access holes and they don't have them ... i can get around it but it means fitting the axles then assembling the drum brakes around it ... bit of a pain in the ass!!

on a side note i also visited the engineer today ... hes oked the engine mounts and told me what i need to comply with etc .... so now im going to get my tailshaft made up, and then try and collect some exhaust bits in readiness for the june long weekend when i plan to fit the ecotec!!!

Very very nice They look very well made.

And we all want to see a vid of the first drive!
