Not that keen on the colour, but would take the car in a flash. Always had a passion for mopar and Chargers.

Finally had time to wash the old girl after the WA nats, Ive driven it around but filthy !

The front end is awesome, the car sits very flat around corners and is quite easy to steer.

If I ever do it, maybe add some power steering but thats it.

Oh and one more thing I'm going to make some offset camber pins and washers for the lower comtrol arm alignment, at the moment I have offset bushes but they move and need monitoring, set and forget I say !

i think it's TC/TD Cortina power steer rack thats a pretty easy swap on to Torana front end, a mate had a LX years ago with power steer and i'm sure that's what it was off

Heap of Torana power steering info here.... https://www.gmh-torana.com.au/forums/fo ... -steering/

The link didn’t work for me but I am on that forum a fair bit and one of the old regulars specialises in power steering for Torana front ends. Very knowledgeable. The UC front end is generally considered as the ducks guts. I would rate it above CRS at least.

Having a ride in your car in Albany I can say it is a most impressive car on the road as I would expect from the amount of effort you have put in to building it as well as your capability mate.
