Replaced some fuel lines in the Torana, also replaced the bonnet hinges and refitted bonnet. Took it for a quick drive then, back in garage, jacked up on stands, battery disconnected, cover on until I take it out in about 6 months time!!

Yesterday , I checked and adjusted the front wheel bearings on the Old Girl, gave her an oil change, new air/fuel and oil filters.

Today , I changed out the fans on the intercooler, tidied up some wiring took out the back seats and started setting the Old Girl up for a couple of trips away with some Myswag friends.

cheers duggie

Fitted new slotted rotors and pads all round. OK it wasn't my shed, it was my mate's shed but he has a hoist :)




Gotta love a hoist. Looks good, be interested to see what you think of the braking now.

Tidied the Shed up and sorted everything ready to move house/shed/man cave in 3 weeks. Still yet to pack the CT for next weekend though. I think a half day of work on Wednesday might be in order ready to leave Thursday morning.

They were a great looking car in their time, just had a crap motor which unfortunately gave them a bad name, that is if Sunbird wasn't bad enough:-)

After my usual drive into work, it needs more pedal application but when they bite you can really feel it.

You should take the 80 for a drive... Now that needs some pedal application !!

This was one quick little Torana a few years ago. Staged it pointing to wall so it would launch straight.

I just finished cleaning out the Captiva, ready for tomorrow afternoon when we go and trade her in for the GXL!

Excited much is an understatement! Don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight!
