YOUNG BLOOD

Tommy Welch was just 19 when he started the build of his ’75 Holden Torana. Now, three years on, it’s easy to see where all the work has gone. With a Torana-loving boss, there was never a chance that the car would be anything but tough, and it’s certainly not lacking in that department now, thanks to plenty of late nights’ work. A 357ci small block has been built with plenty of good bits and will send power to the narrowed and braced nine-inch diff via a TH350 transmission. The car’s passenger-carrying days are over; in the rear, now, are a massive pair of tubs to cover the 315-wide rear rubber. With QA1 coilovers and Wilwood brakes, the car should handle all the punishment that it’s set to receive when it hits the road later this year.
