Yeah it sucks, will throw a thread up on his Dodge me and my brothers will be keeping up to scratch and cruising the hell out of. Its a bummer he didn't get to see it which was the whole idea of the conversion so the first and last skid it does will be a good one! Had some good/bad news today though, had a really good mate (Josh from Metalcraft) come and check what needs to be done for fuel system, tranny lines, remote oil filter lines and intake and a plan has been made but he can't get me into his workshop for a bit The good thing about this is i'll have time to do the loom perfectly, some custom and moved brake lines and mod the torana handbrake cable to fit the R31 calipers. Updates will still be constant of course!

copied from Street Comm Sorry for late reply, this project is kind of shelved because it reminds me too much of the old man so i don't go in its shed all that much. Will concentrate on making the kinger a nice cruiser for now which i didn't end up selling.

the torana will never be sold as much as it depresses me made a promise to the original owner i'm kind of hoping it gets a defect after hitting the road so i've got an excuse for injected 8/71 setup... or atleast the LS1 lets go so i can build a nice iron block stroker for it. Kingswood/VR on the other hand, i wish they would sell haha
