Always loved the LJ Toranas, so in 2009 I bought my yellow one off Ebay from a guy in NSW. It was originally a Torana S model, Balmoral Green with Saddle Trim and 3 speed column shift. First owner bought it from a dealer in Wollongong. Has been modified by different owners over the years.I have the original owner's service booklet and 12mth/12000 miles warranty certificate. Most major mods like the 9inch diff and 5 speed Supra box were put in by previous owners. When I bought it I had a new drop fuel tank put in from Brown Davis Automotive, reco brake booster, reco steering rack, painted dash black (was dark brown), painted the roof lining black, put in GTR steering wheel, XU1 type muffler, chromed the bonnet hinges, catch plate, latch, painted the engine red, new rocker cover, replaced driver side floor pan, put on rear spoiler, tinted the windows, fitted an A9X-style front spoiler, Hornet scoop, and a sound system. |
