I HATE the green, yellow is/was common, but if it was mine id go a metallic Dark Blue colour. But then i would also leave the sunroof, lol. I MISS my Torana, Best looking car i ever owned!!! Looking forward to seeing the end result.
I also do not like the current shade of green on your car, but I think "BARBADOS GREEN" would look insane on this as it is a period correct colour & also shows off all of the lines on the car . This colour also goes great with the black accents if you chose to do so.
I'm not a fan of the green myself either Blake.. Each to their own mate,what a pretty solid find mate.. Barbados,absinthe yellow,Jasmine yellow,or even white look Killa on a Torrie.. Depending if you want a modern colour or ole skool mare.. Can't wait to see the progress Blake what a gem mate!!
Holden VZ Impulse Blue keeping the typical Black bonnet and window trims but in gloss. .. Rims to be 5 spoke 18" Simmons maybe?? Gloss black spokes big dirty chrome dish. All chrome hardware kit for flares..
Many colours would look good on this car, so the choice comes down to what look you're after. Anything from candy and pearls to solids. I think it would look classy in a gunmetal grey metallic body, and where the black is now, I'd do it Charcoal metallic, with a thin silver line between the two, and chrome bumpers. The Mazda red that looks a bit like Candy red would also look awesome on the shape.
we have a uc torana and its nearly done hopefully around christmas it should be registered its in jasmine yellow. We got the original radio working in it yesterday and i never thought it would work yet and i dont know why but when the radio worked i was proud for some reason and i thought there is the third voice to the car, the engine the horn and the radio.
I don't know how you're fixing the sunroof panel, I would advise not welding it, the roof is likely to warp all over the place, I tried it last year, thought I would get away with it but it was a disaster. next time I would try something like 3m panel bonding adhesive, seeing as you've cut it oversize you could do that.
My first cruiser car was a LX torana and I was the genuine second owner. I found this out when the son of the original owner walked passed it and was telling his mates. After hearing that he never got to drive it and he wanted it so bad I told him to jump in and I’ll show him the stereo I had put in the car. When I got around the corner I pulled over and asked if he had been drinking and he said no I said do you want to have a drive he couldn’t believe I was letting him. When he got back to his friends he couldn’t believe that he got to drive it and then I asked if he knew about the dealership stamp on the underside of the bonnet he said he always wondered what it was about. I then told him that my dad had bought his HQ gts manaro from the same dealership and his car had the same stamp which was Sydney’s biggest Holden dealership so that was a bit freaky how I ended up with a car from the same dealership
As per another comment below, Royal Plum with silver slr 5000 on bobtail with satin/flat black bonnet. Had an original 5 litre SS 40 years ago royal plum and had it resprayed palis white, black bonnet as all the rage back then, bad move, young and stupid, wish i still had it, bought mint in 1980 for $6200, bloody hindsight.
Fosters blue. The first thing I would have done is take that letterbox off the front. Those sunroofs cab come in very handy, when you lock your keys in the car. Speaking from experience lol. 👍🏽
Hey mate just watching the video my father currently doing factory slr torana up with sunroof and he wants to keep it but handle is broken if hasn’t gone yet I’d be keen on it cheers 🤙🏻
Im sure whatever color u pick its gonna come up KILLA cant wait till u finish it good choice with the sunroof removal the car looks in pretty good nick for a torrie
Ok Mellow yellow /black decals / black standard SLR interior. Chrome engine & shiny bits. Wheels 15 or 16 inch DEEP DISH chrome mesh wheels the ones that are on but deeper with the mesh insert painted black & Some fat tyres. Don’t put low profiles or your dead to me🍻👍🏼
I like white but you already have a white VL and candy red Rx3. I'd go a light-ish silver metallic with black accents. Modern dark silvers / greys don't look right on anything old-school
if your interested flick me a message on facebook "blake evans" or send me an email : blake_evans71@hotmail.com and we can arrange getting it to you mate
I’m here for the journey, but I do like the green. Looking forward to seeing the sunroof repair too.
White A9X's look wicked.
Atlantis Blue, Black interior, Chrome bumpers (no rubber inserts) would look mint👍
Nice find bro... ultra blue A9X with big flares and drop tank ,gold v5 simmons recaro front seats or A9X trim with GTS wheels 👌🏼
Awesome Shed Find Torrie !
My 3 top choices are 1. Absynth Yellow, 2. Ultra Blue, 3. Barbados Green! They're all factory Holden Torana Colour's too! Good luck with it!!
Baby blue and black bonnet and top side window frames and inside rear bobtail , sweet

I'd go the factory purple that Holden brought out on the Torana, apparently rare color
Palais White and Tuxedo Black mate 👍Enjoying this series very much.
Every car that goes on TH-cam,even if it's going down the production line, is a barn find.
Barbados Green 💪
Yep 100%
We have sheds in Australia, not barns.
I think plum crazy purple would look sick with the chrome bars and the blackouts and definitely be something abit different
Leave it green, a great 70’s colour😊
love the green
The red paint on the floor was used by Holden as a rust prevention it’s an oxide paint
I also do not like the current shade of green on your car, but I think "BARBADOS GREEN" would look insane on this as it is a period correct colour & also shows off all of the lines on the car .
This colour also goes great with the black accents if you chose to do so.
Just a suggestion but......Plum crazy purple (old mopar color) would look phat and different to others done maybe???
I'm not a fan of the green myself either Blake..
Each to their own mate,what a pretty solid find mate..
Barbados,absinthe yellow,Jasmine yellow,or even white look Killa on a Torrie..
Depending if you want a modern colour or ole skool mare..
Can't wait to see the progress Blake what a gem mate!!
sweet, Maybe A9X white?
Morpheus purple would look shit hot
Holden VZ Impulse Blue keeping the typical Black bonnet and window trims but in gloss. .. Rims to be 5 spoke 18" Simmons maybe?? Gloss black spokes big dirty chrome dish. All chrome hardware kit for flares..

Orange with Black accents... Thats our vote for colour

10 ways to skin a cat and 4 ways to cook it 😂 meow. Looking forward to seeing each step in your progress.
Barbados Green with the black

Awesome to see mate I love this shit 👌🏻
Where's Chip Foose when you need him? Hmm what about black over Silver ??
Guards Red is always a good choice for paint. Pearl White is another great colour as seen on a Tesla or Toyota Rav 4.
My favourite torana colour has always been silver and blackouts the LH slr colour.
Loved the green 😢
Would have been an acrylic paint back then wouldn't it?
Charcoal grey and black 😊
Blood orange would look nice,
Goes good with black. Looking forward to your next video
I bet you going to use panel bond for the sun roof
baby blue
Candy apple red would look mint.dads not going to be happy with that burnout
Paint it white, white and yellow are my favourite colours for Toranas, and you already have yellow.
Either atlantas blue or silver blue both are exceptional on the Lx Torana cheers buds
Yellow and black would look good I think 👍

Royal plum purple with silver stencil!
Sounds heaps better
Fosters blue.
The first thing I would have done is take that letterbox off the front.
Those sunroofs cab come in very handy, when you lock your keys in the car. Speaking from experience lol. 👍🏽
Definitely the factory purr pull/royal purple or orchard bloody awesome colours
Ill throw my hat in the ring for a lowkey modern Holden colour! Empire bronze maybe. Ive seen way too many orange, green and yellow slr mock ups 😂
A torana in red is my favourite
Metallic silver with the blackouts
I like green, bright and vibrant. Whatever color you're happy with other than white. or black 🙃 make it pop dude.
do it yellow, my son has a poster of a yellow on e and its looks so good!
Chrome Yellow 👌
Orchid Metallic ❤
I would go white with back and a9x wheels.
Chrome bumpers door handles
Weld that sunroof up
Orchid 💦
That new Soul Red Crystal would look good on a Torana I reckon
Leave it green it's a sweet looking colour
Gold and black look boss.
Silver mink with the blackouts HK monaro style
Alpine White.
Black and gold
Late 80s painted mine polar white dulux two pack looked mint lx sl same as yours but 4sp
Hey mate just watching the video my father currently doing factory slr torana up with sunroof and he wants to keep it but handle is broken if hasn’t gone yet I’d be keen on it cheers 🤙🏻
Black over orange
Im sure whatever color u pick its gonna come up KILLA cant wait till u finish it good choice with the sunroof removal the car looks in pretty good nick for a torrie
I would go the era specific white or yellow.
Orange or yellow would look good I think or even sky blue
Silver mink/Lone O ranger orange.
What is original paint code of the Torana?
Royal Plum is a nice colour.I had a LX Torana in Royal Plum.
Ultra blue or opelina blue
Just replace the whole roof skin if you can source a decent 1,way easier.
Candy apple red or plum crazy purple!
Papaya with the same black outs or something different like a pearl white with black outs
Candy Apple RED, just saying👍👍
Ditch the hotwires can’t cop those things
Ill be keen on the sunroof as my HQ one is broken
I’m keen on the sunroof if you’ve still got it
Sunroof is gone at this point cheers
I would look at the Torana Gunmetal. But if you're looking for something different "Orange Sanguine", "Gris Montebello", "Vert Normand", "Bleu Paon".
Gun metal grey
Bright pink 😅with blackouts around windows
Aquamarine with extra pearl and blackouts
Red with simmons black centre polished lip .
Ok Mellow yellow /black decals / black standard SLR interior.
Chrome engine & shiny bits.
Wheels 15 or 16 inch DEEP DISH chrome mesh wheels the ones that are on but deeper with the mesh insert painted black &
Some fat tyres.
Don’t put low profiles or your dead to me🍻👍🏼
Nissan LP2 Purple man !!! (R33 GT-R midnight purple )
Well most were bronze so what can you do with that
Hi I'm keen on the sunroof
Persian Sand metallic and black.
I like white but you already have a white VL and candy red Rx3. I'd go a light-ish silver metallic with black accents. Modern dark silvers / greys don't look right on anything old-school
Don’t change the colour
DNA paints - Mudslide enough said
Orchard metallic and black outs
Shame it had come off some thing
He now's about Aussie cars but he sounds like his from pommyland its the only thing got me stumped about this channel.
