Im currently looking for a SS dash to make it look more genuine if anyone knows where i can find one could you leave a message in the guestbook.

The interior was purchased from a guy I met one night while working and he offered it to me,the seats front and rear,door panels front and rear,plus the carpet.This guy is a member of the S.A Torana Club he has a pink and black LX Hatch his name is dennis

I have just aquired a genuine A9X Hatch i have no pics as yet if anyone has the original specs could you email them to me

14/12/04
After some research I have found out that the torri that I aquired is NOT an A9X but a 4cyl. SL model so now im selling it as a rolling shell if any one is interested you can e-mail me at the address above

I have now since sold the second torana

3/7/2005 (my B'day)
I have changed the wheels again and im now running on dragways 5 spoke,I picked them up with caps,tyres and nuts for $500. Plus The're chromed. Two of the tyres were brand new and the other two were 2nd hand with 90% tread the only down side is they are only 14x7. They have given me the wider look on the front but not on the rear im looking for wider ones. My have some more pics soon plus i have recently fitted a new front spoiler.

Not much has happened to the car since the last update, only last week some bastard/s broke into it and stole my sub woofer while i was having at night out in the city, tried to take the cd player too but they couldnt remove it.
Anyway Im planning to take the torana off the road in the next 6 months to repair the rust areas on the c pillars and around the tailights, the passenger door has to be replaced it is riddled with rust but i have another door just got to find time to finish preparing it. Also planning to upgrade the the powerplant either a Bathurst race spec 308 or a injected 5ltr. A repray is also on the cards. I will post some more pics soon with new front spoiler ,rims and drivers door after a stupid little accident with a pine tree. New pics in a day or two.

The 308 is coming soon,when my dad buys another 308 for his torana but this one is worked.This is the 308 i will be obtaining.Harvs's 1976 Holden Torana

nice hatch but if ur going 4 A9X mockup ur better off putting a 308 in, whether u work it or not im sure it will still turn out nice.

My 5 cents would be too invest in a great set of wheels to fill those guards out (265 rear / 245 front). Chrome goes real well against sting red (but I'm biased!). The suspension looks standard height from the pics. Lowered springs would be my next recommendation to give max tuff /A9X effect for the $'s. This is going to be one sweet torrie. Good luck with your project. Don't go down the Chev 350 path unless you have $$$'s. There are a lot of things you have to do when you start going down the grunt path... its never ending! Concentrate on looks and reliablility. Cheers

Another hatch from Adelaide looking good. I like the colour schem of your interior, was it lke that when you bought it or did you get it done. Are you a member of any of the Torana Clubs and if not are you looking to join one. Personaly I'd replace the Magnums with some other wheels and it will look even better.

Nice looking A9X clone, wider wheels would really set it off.
