Well bit of history to begin.
My uncle bought this new back in 88 in QLD. He drove it up until my cousin got his license and then it became my cousins car for a few years until he upgraded. It then became my uncles again and he moved to W.A.
He passed away last year a couple of weeks after i bought it off him to donate the diff to my manual exec. I was originally going to just strip it and piss it off but decided to keep it for some centimental value.
Now for the project side of things.
Details:
88 "Series 2" SL
N/A Auto (dead torque converter - i want the block for torana)
Rebuilt 25 spline with spool and 4.11's (4.11's will need replacing)
VZ SS Rims
Plans:
Fit Genuine Popup Calais Front i have just bought from vlt88wa
Patch window rust (its only a skid car)
Paint bright ass yellow with MX bumpers or the bright silver? (shed job won't be perfect)
Convert to EFI 5ltr or LS1/RB25 (depends on ute selling/swapping)
Pics:
Day the new Diff and Rims went in

As you can tell by the 3rd video the box is half cactus
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
I'll send a PM dude incase of prying eyes
Also yeah considering the asteroid bumpers, have lined a kickarse compressor up for the painting, will begin the strip down and calais front fitment in the next few weeks once i pick the calais front up
Am still chasing the heart transplant for it also, its hard when you try to offer people a car haha
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
Haha!
Small Update
Have sourced calais boot strip/corners
Found my lower door mould set, they arent in the best nick though but its only a skid car and i am missing the drives side guard one
Not going to run side skirts so that jacking the car up is easier.
