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?

2 colours - either wildfire (VE series 2 colour) or latest mazda colour red

yes fully engineered ... no fun if cant drive it on the street if worrying what the popo will do..... and also a bit of promotional work and show to start with

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!

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

[zorro]

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?

[doubledip]

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

[Micks]

Very neat job Justin! Like the modded HVAC too.

[zorro]

Please so I can live vicariously

HVAC mounted ... .plenumn had to be highly modified to fit the HVAC in but was tricky as had to miss the top cover and also the wiper motor which we chose to hide under the top cover instead of sticking out in the engine bay

Using a split tailshaft or custom single on this?
