      Aussie 69 camaro update

      Hi everyone, I thought that i would post a few pics of my camaro now that i have finished the 4 wheel disc upgrade. I think that they look good 330mm front and 300mm rear but the best part is that it stops on a dime now. I have also put a couple of pics of the interior i recently put rear inertia reel seat belts in i am also thinking about getting the rear seat trimmed in leather to math the fronts.

      Very nice car and never thought I would like the red stitching but damn that looks good! I agree with you on making back seat match fronts in material and stitching. Very nice car you have there. Brandon

      Well time for a small update. After having trouble with the mirrors folding in at speed i ought sum 2nd Gen mirrors. Had them painted and i fitted them today. The hardest part was fitting the remote control to the door trim.What do you guys think? I also gave my grand pa spec Torana sedan a wash and drive today. It was only the 3rd time ive driven it all year.Name:  014.jpg

      Mate...very cool. Those mirrors are hard to beat. I looked at other ones for my 71 project, but the factory ones are really the best. You did a nice job on them, looks factory!
      Love the pensioner pack Torana.....lol.
      Nice job on the seats, belts and brakes, too.

      I had to raise the car as it was pretty much undriveable in the corners. Ive gone up another inch or so and with the alignment sorted it drives so much nicer i cannot believe it. I also replaced the heim joints on the rack ends. Cant wait for the next sprint event.

      Are your calipers Camaro front & C4 rear? Do you have any caliper to spoke clearance issues with the race wheels? Would you happen to have a pic of the back of the wheel?
