General Comments

Hey my names luke and i have a lj torana 1973 Type S. Anyone who puts a v6 or v8 in one of these aussie icons is dumb. These cars are worth loads in there original conditions. Its like any car you buy no one wants one in 30 years time that has had a different motor or poof autometer taco gauge placed in it. or had the dash butchered to fit a $300.00 cd player. These car will go down in history. I bought mine as an unroad worthy bomb. It knows has a fully reconded motor, reconditioned interior and new body painted VY holden green Hot House Mica. Over my dead body will and gay gauge or cd player be carved into my dash. Respect your Toranas people your not a falcon owner.

    ha ha you say you like the cars in original condition but yet you paint it in hothouse green.
    i have seen that same color on so many toranas its not funny if you want the car to look stock you have to paint in a stock color.

    I aggree with blenda your an idiot why would you paint a clasic like the lj in a rediclious colour like that. I have a two door lj, it may not be stock because it is two expensive to get them that way but it is in the original gtr xu-1 colour Chateau Mauve Metallic. Your a hypocrit.

    Why can no one put another motor in these beasts? HDT were fooling around with a v8 LJ. Ive bought mine back from the brink of death. I should be able to put any motor I want in it without hypocritical people calling me an idiot. That's the spirit of hot-rodding and customization. My four door would never be anywhere near original again so theres no harm in making it totally unique!
