WIP Torana A9X

Starting work on a 1977 Holden Torana A9X, been working on this for some time but would like to get it into beamng eventually.

This will take a while, just wanted to share current progress - I'm thinking about a year or so as it's just something I do in my spare time and I'm in no rush.

I'll update this post as the model comes along and progress is made,

Cheers,
T.

 

Can’t wait

 

Hey guys,
Been working on drivetrain & front end these last few weeks.
Tidied up the mesh a bit around front quarter panels and front end/spoiler.
More pics soon

Wow it’s looking good can’t wait keep up the good work. You may no have too much support now but wait you will get lots

 

Oh my god dude, I love it! Amazing to see such a beautiful and iconic Aussie car in the forums. Can't wait to try it whenever it's done, it's the closest I'll ever get to buying one haha. Good luck and have fun, I'm all for it!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys, much appreciated!

Yeah, they are getting a bit expensive these days with some fetching over $250k - would have been a great investment 30-40 years ago

Will post more pics shortly.

Cheers,
T.

 

All good all of them would of been great but with the price to say im really excited for the mod im going to try and get everything YouTuber I can to review it when it comes out

 

Well I'm definitely gonna use this for my movies once it's out, this looks great

 

Appreciate the enthusiasm guys, nice to hear.
Been working on the interior the last week or so and have some updated pics to share.

 

Wow that’s really good it’s 100% better then any Aussie mod in the past detail wise

 

Hey guys,
Did a quick subdiv & mesh smooth for a quick render - Its coming along but still needs a fair bit of work on the body mesh (amongst many other things lol)
Also mapped headlight covers and attached image of what final mapped version will look like.

Cheers,
T.

 

Nice even doing Bathurst configs this will be good

 

Definitely would have been a great investment! My own dad back in the 90s had tons of cars and bikes that are all coincidentally collectable now. He had a Ford Lotus Cortina MK1, VL Walkinshaw, a rotary powered Holden Gemini, R100 and his VL Calais, I mean, I don't mean to boast but I live in awe every day knowing my dad owned these things. Even his mates had endless cars, magenta Valiant Chargers, Toranas, HQ's, even the greek guy across the road had a new GTHO XY and XW every year, each a rarer spec than the last (Although most of them were probably rebirthed). On top of all that they illegally raced 'the runs' with these customised collectors items. (Apologies for the rant but I just love talking about it)

I love the progress and keep it up man!
