SEVEN YEAR STRETCH Robert Webster’s Pro-Street LH Torana is proof that nothing great happens quickly or without the help of some hardcore mates!

Seven years ago, Rob rolled a well-used LH Torana into his home garage with the intention of building himself a tough street car. Nothing over the top, just a nice streeter with a tough engine that he could cruise anywhere, anytime. Being a panel guy by trade, Rob took the job at hand in his stride and set about removing a huge amount of rust from around the windows, floors, sills and roof – which eventually got replaced due to the amount of rot that had set into the turret itself. Rob spent countless hours alone in the shed repairing the Torana’s body shell and hanging panels before high-filling everything in readiness for colour. Body mods have been kept to the very minimum with the rear wheel arches being stretched 3-inches to accommodate the bigger rubber and the bumper bars and bonnet replaced with fibreglass items.
