The Torrie as i first got her!! 2 years ago it entered my life, no much of an interior, need of a paint job and a bit of rust, but a lil thirst chrushing 202 red motor graced its engine bay. I gave the car a full look over when we got her and even thou what i saw and what work had to be put in, i knew it had to be done, because Torana's are BORN TO FLY
I am hoping to find some decent sprintmasters to fit the offset better and give the car a better stance. When i got her it had Dragways all the way around, but i soon noticed that not 1 of them were actually exactly the same all different, i was stunned but not to dishearted as i wanted new wheels anyway, next centrelines were on her, still not happy i wanted Sprintmasters. Thanks to 186torana im probs goin to get some CSA sprintmasters for 220 a wheel, if anyway knows of a better price for sprinters let me know. Yea i want SPRINTMASTERS. At the moment I have just a acquired a black set of chromies, with chrome trims outskirts and hopefully off EBAY getting some chrome centre caps and nuts, they look pretty standard but its simple and sweet just how i want her.
I am restoring this fine torana back to pristine condition, well trying anyway. I have just about finished the interior and hoping to get the rust fix in the bottom seals and get some touch ups on the paint. I be loving life when its complete. Except right now and since i got the torana, MONEY is my onli problem lol. But over the 2 years i had the torrie, i have pretti much put a whole new interior in it, getting new carpet, relining seats, door trims, new steering wheel, kick panels, stereo system (plus soon Xbox and DVD screens), hoping as well to get a nice lil program to tell me were the cops are, working progress but i'll keep everyone informed and yes this Torana is defantly a keeper.
Lol as any normal car enthusiast i have some sick and crazy ideas for the turbo torrie some Future Mods are, and hopefully completed sometime in the future
Jet Black paint job with Silver Minc stripe (like LC Torana style)
Intercooler/bigger turbo plus engine rebuild
9inch Diff
Sprintmasters or Billet wheels
Front Air Dam
Boost Control and Turbo timer
I think i need a new exhaust lol :)
Xbox and DVD screens
And i need to put a small hornet scoop in the bonnet because the turbo gets a bit hot sometimes and just incase i dont want her catching fire, so im gonna see if i can put HK Monaro scoops in the bonnet hopefully all goes to plan.
I want to put a manual in her, put sort of don't its decision time soon i guess, because from factory the Torana was manual but yea it's a hard choice.
and thinking of more ideas....
Also adding more updated pics soon.
