Well since Mo is posting his project thought i'd post mine! Tiny bit of history, i've had this car around 4 or so years, second owner... has a Bill Lee HDT 202 engine from around 1991 for a bit of Nostalgia! Anyway stuffed around with a 26/30 project for way too long that i couldn't seem to keep under the bonnet. Long story short i recently sold off all the RB gear and got me a cammed/headed ls1. Been gathering parts for a month or so, should have bought a wreck really (damn you mo) On the weekend i decided to get the 202 running (hasnt been run in 2+ years) and move the car to its new temporary home in a bigger shed. After many a head****s including thinking mice had eaten my ignition i got it running albeit on 5 or so cylinders. Leaving its home In its new home Removing some damaged doors (lovely e series falcon drivers!) You can possibly notice aswell that the bonnet and bonnet hinges are off and i was super stoked to find no rust at all behind them which is almost unheard of, but hey you get that with a 1 previous owner car! All toranas do have some rust somewhere, luckily mine only has this tiny bit in the LHS wheel arch Parts waiting to go in: DTM (Dimoff) built TH400 rated at 800hp, Tassone has just ordered identical box! B&M Megashifter TCI Flexplate suit LS1 > TH400 B&M trans cooler (fanned version) TUFF Mounts TCE 3500 converter R31 BW78 Diff Kaaz centre Hoppers Stoppers 290mm brake kit Morosso oil pan and pickup Before most of this can go in, i need to tear out the factory heaterbox system, then smooth the bay and paint it (black i've chosen) This is going to take a while! Only things i won't be doing is obviously the tailshaft, fabricating the radiator and tuning it. Will update this as i get to it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ok the engine and box is finally out so i can start getting stuck into making the bay all nice and clean! Out with the old in with the new! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

going to be so tuff once its all together!

awesom dan just awesom, seriously cant wait till u drop the motor in, if only u were in perth, love to help!!

Cheers!!! Torana diff out, what a monster after being in there 34 years!!!! R31 borg warner diff sitting in front that will have mounts swapped to be bolted back in with a Kazz centre Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The VY R8 rims suit quite fine for now, i'm set on pro stars when its up and running THE ENGINE IS IN.......... **** YES I also done a test "align" of the VY R8 rims Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

sweet man, lookn gd

The VY R8 rims are definately growing on me! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ay dan wats the plans for the body? as in paint wise? slr rep? full stocko nanna spec? or show spec?

Just the stock look for now mate, then gonna have kids n **** and paint in a few years time in a crazy colour. Well happy with the factory colour though! I got a hatchback aswell that needs some love. Keep an eye out when this has hit the streets.. going to go big block with the hatchback.

Looks mad man, can't wait to see it cruising.

Awesome work Dan, large skids will ensue

Bro nice skid moving your car

Hopper Stoppers kit now fitted to front with VY R8 rims on! MASSIVE hassle of a job removing the torana brake lines and swapping the stubs over, being on there since 76 made it a bitch. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

for an update my dads is very sick now so progress has slowed so i can hang out with him but i have the diff back from Final Drive and have sorted a kazz centre out and picked up some 4.11 diff gears need to get it in and measured for the tailshaft which Final Drive will also be doing

this will be a very cool car when done and those wheels look awesome on there. hope ya old man gets better mate.

thats sad to hear dan, hope nothing to serious..

Best wishes to you and your family

Unfortunately nothing we can do................................................ .... Well another one of my many Summit orders arrived today. TCI Flexplate suit LS1 > TH400 B&M Hi-Tek transmission cooler with thermo and temp sensor etc TH400 "dust cover" Morosso remote oil filter mount with K&N filter Missing one of the 6 ARP Flexplate bolts but i'm sure they'll sort this out for me I've also bought a spare LS1 that i plan to rebuild and/or stroke as a spare for this or to go into my hatch. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nice update man, curious to know wat the flexplate and dust cover was worth.. i was gona do the flexplate option ( i have built t400 now ) but ended up up getting all fast to build me a convertor to suit instead, all up around $1100 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
