Inside, the Torana is all business. The 6-point roll cage was bent up by Rod Andrews and welded in by Rob’s Dad Peter. The standard issue front seats are long gone with a pair of lightweight RCI buckets taking up the same space. The 5-point harness belts are also from the RCI catalogue. The Torana rear seat has been modified to work in with the enlarged wheel tubs. Jason from J&S Trimming added the black and grey material to the seats and factory-styled door trims as well as the headlining. Though an original SL/R steering wheel now tops the column, the dash is anything but Holden based. There’s no less than six AutoMeter gauges occupying the custom facia with a shift light added to the steering column keeping Rob up to date with what’s happening with the Torana’s vitals. Keeping the Pro-Street theme going is a Hurst shifter. The boot houses part of the roll cage and all of the fuel system comprising of a fuel cell, surge tank, pump, filter and of course, the battery. If you’re a light traveller, you may get one suitcase in there – but it would need to be a very small one…
After a seven-year build, Rob enjoys nothing more than jumping behind the wheel and cruising the Torana.
