Pigs SS Torana Hatchback

This Album contains Pic of my old SS Hatchback, I bought this not long before my accident in November 1984 and rebuilt it after I got out of Hospital in 1985, all work was done by myself on Crutches and my Wife who was ready to drop kid #4. This is one of the Cars I regret most selling but when you are young with a Family you do what you must do so the rest is history, all work was done in my Backyard when I lived in Diddillibah on the Sunshine Coast, I supplied the Paint & my ex-GF Miranda then sprayed it for me for a Carton of Beer, a top effort as many thought it was a Show only Car but was in fact our daily Driver until being sold later in 1985...
