JASON Hannam is a down-to-earth bloke with a true-blue, give-it-a-go attitude. It's with that mindset he garnered the skills to birth this crisp LX SL/R 5000 tribute.
Jason's day job involves laying paint for Hills Autobodies, which came about through his deeply entrenched love of cars and doing things himself. "I took. on an adult apprenticeship at 35 years old, after rocking up to my mate's work in my freshly painted Barbados Green LX Torana," he recounts. "The panel shop boss saw the car and asked if I wanted a job! I had a family at home to think about, but up to that point I was just doing shitkicker jobs. As I've always had a passion for cars, I took the offer."
While Jason's self-taught abilities helped him elevate the Torry to trophy-hauler status, it was a far more personal situation that rocketed the project to life. "I had two heart attacks: one when I was 40 years old, and another two years later," he says. "So I thought, 'Now's the time to build the Torana!' It gave me a kick in the arse to do it."
