VE Torana

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

Looks like a fantastic project,
looking forward to seeing this build! :goodjob:

Nice project Justin, have subscribed to this :yup:

Keeping the outside like that?

Only problem I can see is getting a decent "wires guy" to put it all together & make it work ;) :lol:

thanks amckiwi - the outside will just be standard 4 door torana, but will run a 4" reverse cowl scoop

You are certainly using some top shelf parts in this Justin!

Should be an amazing car when it's done. :goodjob:

ProWire Performance Wiring

I might suggest using Sideshow for the wiring.
Never dealt with them but have heard that they are not too bad.
Tell them you are a member of the forum and they might look after you on price. :hide:

: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.

Hey Justin,

have you chosen a colour for it yet?

Will this be engineered as a street driven car , a track car or a show or promotion car? :cheers:
