An LC Torana 4 door with front discs is a rare beast! Only GTRs and XU1s had discs ! It either been modified or is a factory special order! 71, 72 and very early 73 was the LC, find the body number stamped on the firewall and find out!
Once you get this Torana going and actually drive it , you just might change your mind about Torana's. These are a drivers car, nimble and can be powerful. Take it around your speedway track and see just how confident it feels when its sideways.
@@pauledwards6446 How old are you ??? I am not comparing it to modern high tech expensive cars. I owned six of these during the 70s, 80s and 90s. They did manage to win Bathurst , defeating the fastest street car of the time. This was due to nimble handling and power to weight. Why do you think they are worth so much now??? Because those who owned and drove them , loved them. In 1972 these could out drive almost anything else on the road.
Anyone who is a og of your channel DJ already knows this cars fate and 100% go for it bro yeah its ruff but we all know its in safe hands and is going to be a awesome build when it's done
I used to have a LJ 4 cylinder two door, 😂used to be fun ,also like the shape of these TORANA, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
I think the Torana definitely something to get excited about and it would be exciting challenge to watch you get it road worthy and drive it all the way to East coast! :) It would be EPIC!
DJ you're a classic. Swallowed a fly & didn't swear. I'm a heathen. I would've cursed worst than a trouper. I saw a crown majesty locally ,better quality than a Mercedes. It a good buy.
Lc 4 door . Was my car of choice. I 6 year old mum playing music. And two younger sisters. Singing . Many memmory in a car like this. . Take care my friend
Ey! Finally doing something with the Torana- Lucky you having all those front and rear ends for it- they are quite hard to find- now I know where they all went!
Be great for the channel to go a 4 door to 2 door conversion. Grab a couple of 2 door doors and build up the body from there .. Bothe the 4 door & 2 door share the same roof line so it very do-able !!
I have a plan , you should get the Torana running and driving , we should drive towards each other , I’ll drive from mid SA and meet you half way, and we’ll swap cars and return in the direction we come from , then someone from Adelaide will drives half way to me and swap cars again , and so on till it gets to its destination 😅👌🏽
I sold a 2 door lj that was better than than and im a panel beater. To get that back on the road is min 50k spent. Parts on it are worth more than fixing that body
Nah Shove it mate. Joking! Enjoy the video's whatever you share. That Torrie is far from gone! Event sounds cool, Burn that Merc ha ha! Always enjoy the vid's DJ . Share what you will, I'll be here unless you turn into a Garret. Cheers
I wouldn't be sticking my head under that rear control arm and spring in a hurry. Not much left holding that in place. And that Crown looks waaaaayy to neat for an Auto Karnage car
As for saving old Aussie cars, i got 2 Valiants need saving, a CM sedan and a VF Hardtop coupe, videos are on my channel here, if anyones interested. Country SA
Be careful with the under dash, if it's in good condition that part alone is worth more then the rest of that car. And unless you do a lot of work to the chassis rails and floor that car won't be driving anywhere soon, PS you do realize every part to these cars are welded together including the door hingers, just giving you a heads up. IF it was a 2 door in that condition, YES build it, but this is not worth $$s its going to cost for parts. And the work to get it drivable on the road and still leaving it looking beat up will still be to much work and $$, trust me I've built a dozen of these little cars.
True true. Wait. I lived in laverton. But know a know location. Watson the closest town your to ???? Answer please. A driller??? Thank you. Company is ausdrill... There no rust to a comen town where it's rusted out. There only rust 1 time a year. People its hot its dry and hot. We get rain 50 ml in mind. Storm. It floads. 90 percent of au never see I have no contact with this tuber. Be shore its true. God bless. Mick
It's Not what we want. You the one building these cars. Your effort. Your content. I seen low Standards fix these. But serious amount of work. Good luck. Not from Aussie .so all fun for me.
I'm remembering you found a V8 fairlane in the scrub... you might want to blow up the internet by dropping that Windsor and gearbox in that torri. Then sit back and bask in the hate...
Interesting it has a full chassis rail, they didn't leave factory with that unless it was a gtr or xu1..... 4 doors to my knowledge didn't get the full chassis rail.
Lol not even mate look at the rx3 coupe that went to the low standards boys that cars now known near world wide I bet ya this lcs destiny is the same why else would they need it in a reasonable structural state
Yeah Narr it’s four door and the TC TD cortina is twice the car of those towranas shitbox ford cortina td body design is better and had the proper 4.1 engine the towrana is all wank factor
The only thing worth anything on a Camara was the J tronic ECU, they were the first ECU setup people used for ECU conversions. Now will be obsolete too for that since the availability of OBD2 aftermarket setups

That Torana will spin you a lot of views! It'll be fantastic viewing too mate.
New to the channel; You're 100% right, as many as possible need to be saved. Awesome!
Hi DJ, Definitely worth restoring that Torana.
Throw in some floor pans and fix the structural rust and good to go for and easy resto.
100%

100%
you can not be serious.
These cars drive like crap what are you talking about
@@pauledwards6446Exactly.. They are horrible on a good day

The Torana build would be awesome mate and a great story if you pull it off mate. Love it
As far as the torana goes, if you and your mate can save it, do it 👍
Don’t know about a restoration but she’s definitely salvageable. Heaps of potential roadkill style👌🏻
Stencilled across the door... 'roadkill'. Oh, and, "I hate fenders".
@@2meterPeter. lols
If anyone can road trip an old car it’s you mate!

Love the idea..... Give it a go..... Love the old LC Torana

Doubt it, Japanese.
Save it mate, hardly see any Toranas these days, they're good rigs.
Lc 4 door . Was my car of choice. I 6 year old mum playing music. And two younger sisters. Singing . Many memmory in a car like this. . Take care my friend
Totally agree...wish l'd found it!!!
Ey! Finally doing something with the Torana- Lucky you having all those front and rear ends for it- they are quite hard to find- now I know where they all went!
I was gunna say XA Coupe guy might be the man but I don't think any kind of rust would worry that guy 👌👌
That Torana is going to be old skool cool lol
Sure is 😉

Glad to see another upload so soon bro
You can do it !!!! would look great
Keep it mate . I will help you find bits and pieces
Save the torana

Gotta give it a go
I sold a 2 door lj that was better than than and im a panel beater.

Ohhh yessss
Do same brun outs again
Haha we may have to work on that
If I can. I have front and read glass and door glass for an lh/lx torana in bundaberg that I will never use
Nah Shove it mate. Joking! Enjoy the video's whatever you share. That Torrie is far from gone! Event sounds cool, Burn that Merc ha ha! Always enjoy the vid's DJ . Share what you will, I'll be here unless you turn into a Garret. Cheers
Save it. They're not making any more.
nice , go ahead
Go for it!!!
Save the 138.
My first car was a LJ gtr and i use to thrash the shit out of it 202 4sp fast enough !
I wouldn't be sticking my head under that rear control arm and spring in a hurry. Not much left holding that in place. And that Crown looks waaaaayy to neat for an Auto Karnage car
Sold a few for 300$ back in the days, Wish i didnt . Had an Lx at the time and didnt want the Lc's But there damn nice cars.
Save the Tirana
Torana is a 1969 or 1970 SL
It is wroth doing just will take time and money to get it to be a beautiful car
Save it
But what are u going to do about the no tags ?, would be almost impossible to get registered
As for saving old Aussie cars, i got 2 Valiants need saving, a CM sedan and a VF Hardtop coupe, videos are on my channel here, if anyones interested. Country SA
The JE Camira next?

Mint!!!

Ifi hadthe money I'd ask you to find be tinnies that have been left .
hopefully it dosent end up with a rotor
I’ll let you in on a little secret, it definitely won’t 😉
@@oldskoolonly I'd prefer to see it get crushed that put a crappy mazda motor in it lol
Definitely put a rotor in it! Haha
Do it there is getting less n less toranas out there
True true. Wait. I lived in laverton. But know a know location. Watson the closest town your to ???? Answer please. A driller??? Thank you. Company is ausdrill...
There no rust to a comen town where it's rusted out. There only rust 1 time a year.
People its hot its dry and hot.
We get rain 50 ml in mind. Storm. It floads.
90 percent of au never see
I have no contact with this tuber. Be shore its true. God bless. Mick
It's Not what we want. You the one building these cars. Your effort. Your content. I seen low Standards fix these. But serious amount of work. Good luck. Not from Aussie .so all fun for me.
Hi
Hey Aussie.
I'm remembering you found a V8 fairlane in the scrub... you might want to blow up the internet by dropping that Windsor and gearbox in that torri. Then sit back and bask in the hate...
Haha love your twisted idea. Its perfect
restore the lc
Interesting it has a full chassis rail, they didn't leave factory with that unless it was a gtr or xu1..... 4 doors to my knowledge didn't get the full chassis rail.
And disk brake!
She’s a wreck mate. Part it out.
Lol not even mate look at the rx3 coupe that went to the low standards boys that cars now known near world wide I bet ya this lcs destiny is the same why else would they need it in a reasonable structural state
Yeah Narr it’s four door and the TC TD cortina is twice the car of those towranas shitbox ford cortina td body design is better and had the proper 4.1 engine the towrana is all wank factor
First 🤓
Gee someone was keen. Wonder why?
Mate don’t waste your time on the Torana
Fix the camira 😂😂
Dont be silly!😅
The only thing worth anything on a Camara was the J tronic ECU, they were the first ECU setup people used for ECU conversions.
Now will be obsolete too for that since the availability of OBD2 aftermarket setups
Toranas rubbish mate, I’ll take it off your hand free of charge
