Well have been a member of this forum for a fair while and and have seen a few good conversions/write-ups posted on this page.. most notably IJ's one tonner AWD and Lexcen AWD... so thought it might be time to post some stuff up about a project i have undertaken...

life started as a 6cyl LH Torana... and will under go a transformation which may not be to all's taste.. it will be a true conversion with alot of mechanical changes along with electrical... wont be your run of the mill parts swap from one shell to another

:rofl: Wiring is all sorted guys - I know Justin from Prowire - this would be past him... (but one of the best auto elecs with the Milspec stuff!!!!) and Sideshows - Jim is my mate and i used to work with him - I will be using Ultimate Conversion Wiring - as that's my Business (pretty sure Micks was taking the piss so i was falling suit)

there is a lot of CAN/LScan stuff in this car along with module programming and tricking to get what i want done... the more i post in this thread it will become more clear to you all.

I can appreciate it is a heck of of a lot of work &
I am certain that there would be plenty of technical stuff behind the scenes that would
take amazing skills to get it all to work.

Certainly a project that not many people would be able to complete
to anywhere the standard you are building.

I can't wait to see the end product!

Great work Justin & thanks for posting this thread! :goodjob:

Justin which dash & cluster will you be using with this build?

zorro

06-09-2016, 06:10 PM

This appeals to me on many levels. I'm a big fan of the race series in the states, old bodies with upto date running gear.

The modern interior is going to look cool also, full house if I'm picking up what you are putting down?

06-09-2016, 06:41 PM

VE SSV Accelerator pedal, Factory Torana brake pedal with cut down pedal pad and SSV pedal cover, Under dash hydraulic clutch pedal with SSV pedal pad

Both the brake and clutch pedals run the variable potentiometer setup like factory VE so modified to suit Torana and the non VE pedal setup

VE Dual zone HVAC box was about 15cm's too tall for the Torana.. plus also the shape is totally different. The box has been highly modified with custom top vents.. Also the box actually started life as a single zone so i pulled it apart and made it dual zone

If i used the VE wheel then need to change the column and that in itself makes more headaches (mounting points, steering shaft to rack , lengths diff) and also then i would need to do something with horn pad as not wanting airbags. this way easier and i prefer the look of the Momo wheel

A little bit has happened... .. i got my car back from mates after 7 months in storage and slowly worked on it.. business is just way to busy (along with family life) to get a lot of time on it...

probably;y since last update have run heater lines, a/c lines, made a mock-up fuel tank to get copy made out of alloy (which mate has made it just needs the mounts put on) ... order parts for headers, ordered new mac bros front arms, made a fan shroud and mounted fan ... had an over flow tank made, sorted radiator hoses and steam pipe

when i get time and a chance to sort through the photos i will post up some of the pics

didn't realise this was still of interest...
