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 After first skid outing After 4th skid outing & burnout comp - stuffed torque converter, still moves barely though Videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW0SzgEk2ew http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgbnWsrxnOQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvugqc7Rbq4 As you can tell by the 3rd video the box is half cactus Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
