Looks good so far. The old rear axle looks Japanese, perhaps a Toyota unit? We didn't get anything on that platform over here.

Good chance of that, they are available in GM cars from 86 through to 97, aswell as Australian fords from 81 through to 98. Also Australian delivered Nissan Skylines 86-88. The particular one i used is from a 87 Skyline as it is the same width as the Torana diff from the factory.

The good thing about so many cars sharing this diff is there is a multitude of gears and centres available including aftermarket like LOKKA/TrueTrac/Kaaz

Tha would be a cool swap.

At least the old girl was made for a 308 to fit between the rails.

Will it be tricked to look like and SLR 5000?

I like this car, too bad they didn't make them here in the States. I'd also like to get my hands on one of the Holden 5.0s. Nice build.

Cheers 93Z2871805!!
