Thanx for the responses. I know we have a patrol in here, and at least one sandrail/dunebuggy from El Paso TX. I thought there was a lot of Z32 action, glad to see the participation.

Oh Yeah, my bad....a 74 would be SWEET. But I still think my dada, 81 Datsun 510(yes it says datsun all over it) with this driveline would be Awsome!!!!
An S30 would be a rocket, if you could get the rear to hold, and apply the torque. N NO Emissions test

I was at a trackday yesterday (we hired our A1 circuit at Taupo, pic can be seen here), and Hadees showed up in a Torana similar to Bart's.Toranas are nice as, and Hadees' Torana is in show condition, pimped out interior and NOS and all _b So go Bart, great choice for a conversion!

Thanks guys, it does look a little like a mini Nova, its a GM design and built in the early 70's by Holden in Australia (GMH) so i guess we got a lot of influence from the US GM.
Mettler the Torana you posted is the slightly larger later model but yeas love the shape also.
Theres heaps more fabrication work i can show but i dont have time yet, i will do later.
