      Yeah the old HG gets around for a empty shell. The old sunbird just had all the right bits he needed.

      possibly, unfortunately when the cars get hit by scrub fires the metal gets weakened.

      Just accidentally watched it again and judging by where the torana is burnt from the inside out in the middle mainly thats no scrub fire. She been set alight inside.

      So this one had a opel sourced 4 cylinder. Then for the next model they got the "starfire" engine. Which was a holden copy of a Chevy straight 6. but with 2 cylinders cut off lol.

      It does make ya wonder. But you have to remember when these cars where left in the bush they where worth nothing. That's why they would park'em up and walk away.
