“Here is my 1972 LJ Torana after its make-over. This final look is exactly how I envisioned it. After being black for so long, it needed a fresh new look, so I had all of the bodywork done and topped it off with candy blood red paint to really make it pop!

“The car has also had its interior redone, while the engine has had an upgrade with a forged bottom end and a Harrop 2650i supercharger. It is going to be super-competitive in the eighth-mile no-prep stuff!

“I wouldn’t have the car how it is today without my mechanic, Andrew Murray, who built this rocket from front to back all in the shed at home, and my good mates over at 1320 Motorsports for getting all the parts.

“My main goal with the car is to enjoy it and rack up as many kays on the street and tracks as possible, and it’s been doing so reliably.”
