Doc, whenever there's sucking off and $'s mentioned in the same sentence it always grabs ones attention. Being numerically inept I thought it presented pretty good value.

Car (s) look great. Shame about the Clevo and after 18months it went all WET and CRUSTY... Funnily enough generally speaking if I think along Wazza's lines they usually don't go hand in hand....

You can ask anything here and people will help out if they can, but if you want a more specific place to ask about Torana suspension you might try this;

Really good search feature on this site Darkside.

go advanced search in search forums
Torana as keyword
Australian Cobra club under cobra clubs

You'll get more "hits" than ya did with ya $400.00 dollar BJ.

If your superior blue oval IQ is serving you correctly, surely you could teach us all something about Torana front ends?

Darkside, nice of you to join us here.
Nice resurrection too... Its great to have a build thread to follow.
Thanks for sharing.

FWIW: $400 well spent. If youre anything like me, I can imagine you'll piss a bit more money into the wind than that. So dont be too hard on yourself.
If you want to make an omelette you gotta break some eggs.

Ps: That paint job on your old ford guzzler looks freakin amazing.
Typically photos don't do these things justice, but the reflections off that black... Outstanding!!!
