Adam, keep going. It's worth it in the end.

I can definately share your feelings of frustration, when things seem to go wrong. (And that happens way to easily and way to often) But isn't it amazing that after a little break you get back into it.

The cars are really easy to work on, just annoying when you get stuck and have difficult choices to make, none or which you really want to do.

Like my project, you've gone too far to stop.

I see you've been going for over 2 years now, and it shows. Your almost at the registration stage.
Might paint my tailshaft red to. looks good

Don't know about the custom exhaust with mini mufflers ? One of my neighbour doesn't like too much noise.

Nice work, and so close to finishing.

I'm sure they couldn't have found too many real issues to stop you getting it registered again.

Well it has been along time since ive posted anything, completed a bit of work on the torana to prepare it to be sold...

Last minute items were added to the ute before heading off to the mechanics for the HR front end swap, spears, a good clean etc

Ute had been away for a few weeks to swap the front end over to HR Disk, work was completed at Metro Motors in Coburg Melbourne, the boys were good enough to take a few photos for me of the work as it progressed

In with good company

Out with the old

Replacement parts

In with the New (lowered king springs)

New disks and reconditioned calipers

Hydro Boost VH40L fitted

Enzed custom lines made

Kingaz · Post by **Kingaz** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 9:27 pm

Thanks Mephious a much needed upgrade, will post some pics of the new stance tomorrow, has a classic 80's rake at the moment will wait for springs to settle before resetting the leafs
