If this belongs to a panel shop, can someone tell me which one, as seriously if they call this minor panel damage they need to be run out of town. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...mMakeTrack=true (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2489689061&fromMakeTrack=true)

Thats not much damage for a torry(the front), its really quite easy to repair older holdens, im more worried that they never said a thing about every other panel on the car!

You dont just unbolt and replace panels on LJ-LC Torana's. And yes neally ever front panel on this car has damage, which when you cosider this is a 70's car. Minor damage is like a under statement. I liked how they put the Globe mag wheel on the damaged side, the spare steel wheel is on the drivers side. Oooo and $5,500 with that damage, seriously??????

Some people will pay that for the plate. Original GTR. A good cond one will sell for $30,000 easy. The damage doesn't look that bad to me. I've seen a hell of a lot worse.

I've seen a hell of a lot worse. Were in the hell have you seen a GTR Torana for even over $15,000. We are not talking about a GTR-XU1 Torana, its a LC GTR Torana around 1972. Anyway, Here is a e-mail from the question I asked him: Question about your item Dear 1*sikvl, You asked: "Seriously you are calling that minor damage?" Yes, guard damaged no damage to bonnet and have parts to repair View this listing now to bid or purchase this item. Item # Item Title Listing end date 2489689061 GTR TORANA 20-Sep-04 Thank you, greatstormy My responce to him is: Drivers side door, drivers side guard, grill, light, lower front (cowling) passengers side guard, passengers side door, passengers side inner guard, radiator support, bonnet hinges, Globe mag. All that needs to be replaced or have major repairs to. Are you going to do all the work? Properly? How bad is the chassis? Isn't this a re listed as well? What work shop do you work for? What's the running gear like? Is it actually running? 4spd? 3spd? Auto? what motor is fitted? Is the interior any good? Last of all what in the ID number? Thanks..

It's not too bad. Just 'cos it's in a panel beaters doesn't mean that they own it. Maybe the owner pranged it and can't afford repairs?

Thats a easy repair if you could be stuffed. Better to start with a better shell if your planning a street machine build up. I would'nt pay more than $2,000 for that. The only thing you'd buy it for is the tags and maybe a few rare bits and pieces that are not already trashed. Besides Rare spares stocks just about every part for these cars. But at a price. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
