Driven not Hidden - Wild Pro Touring Holden Torana! | fullBOOST

One of our most enjoyable days out on the tools, it was an absolute pleasure to experience Heath van der Waerden's Holden Torana first hand, and probably the best handling old school Aussie muscle car we've had a ride in a very long time. What a car!

Driven not Hidden - Wild Pro Touring Holden Torana! | fullBOOST

[@craigmooney2630]

Wow, Heath should set up company building bespoke Toranas , that’s one of the best engineered street cars in Oz

[@AndyPat239]

Legend😊

[@Hezath]

It was beyond a pleasure to get the call for this one, guys! Thanks so much for having me on your channel and letting me share so much detail about my Torana. Love seeing other people enjoying what this one is all about, and hopefully it helps to inspire some other corner-carving modified street car builds. 👌😅

[@AndyPat239]

Lovely work. And thanks for sharing it😊

[@rc70ys]

Is this colour from the Hyundai Excel X3 Range ? Back of the 1990s

[@adrianzmajla4844]

Yes! Build it for the twisty bits. Very well engineered car, enjoy driving it.

[@dlock7955]

Love the Jap wheels, its something I've been toying with for some time now. Think you just helped the cause. 🙏

[@MrJahoot]

@hezath Id love to know what you did to the front end to make it work better. And how much caster and camber you dialled in. Cheers.

[@berrybum74]

Love to know more about the owner, man, he knows his car, and impressively he’s done a lot, and not just paid someone. I’m very impressed with attention to detail. love it. Watched this 3x times

[@hugolinning3133]

Heath is great mate. With a great eye for detail and wealth of knowledge

[@black7rc720]

Clearly an intelligent man with engineering nouse to boot, and attention to every detail. Everything is designed with forethought for form and function, not one compromising the other. Well executed Heath. Extremely impressive. Great video, guys.

[@iananderson4897]

I'm going to say this is probably one of the best Toranas ever. Very well thought out and executed.

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Shockworks, the absolute best suspension shop in Australia. Without doubt!

[@dlock7955]

Great episode.. Heath is well across his build and well spoken.. He also likes "that shit..!"

[@evalpacer1396]

I was bemoaning up at Summernats this year that it seemed like every car there turned up on a trailer. Then after checking out Heaths car in the Top 60 pavilion and seeing how sweet it was, I was amazed to hear that he drove the car up from Melbourne. Was that the only Top 60 car to not have turned up on a trailer? That is a tribute to you, and as Luke says, what a car! Fantastic 👌Great coverage as usual guys.

[@towking_]

Met Heath at WTAC what a genuine guy, love the passion and what car 😱🤯

[@keevasmybitch]

You guys need to put his Torana on one of your T shirt designs, would definitely fit the retro seen. What a great bloke, hands on, knows his stuff, speaks well and a very likable bloke. That Torana is Gold!!

[@vigilante351]

Being able to convert the old UC into something like this, is a masterful job. Very informative, and high entertainment value. The guy knows what he's talking about!

[@deliveredconcepts]

ABSO-FUKN-LUTELY great example of an achievable build. Very well thought out and executed. I love it.

[@ckrahe3605]

Was this filmed near Newstead?

[@Hezath]

@@ckrahe3605 I had the car in Newstead a few weeks ago, but this was filmed around the Dandenongs mate. :)

[@daddosjeffery]

Definitely one of the best Torana’s ever,a true credit to the owner 👍👍👍👌

[@benspencer9523]

I really can't stress enough how relieved I feel to see a car built for corners. There is a limit to how many 2000hp missiles this little black duck can cope with on the cover of Street Machine. Fantastic job Heath, I rank this equal to Howard Bells SLR 8000.

[@kotajames6211]

I'm here in the states and I absolutely LOVE all Holdens!

[@downhillchris2809]

I've never seen a person more excited to talk about his car, he could not get the words out fast enough. I love it, and I love the car. Really infectious enthusiasm!

[@vaughanlynch145]

Awesome, I had no idea how much went into this build. It's restrained yet extremely well executed. Can I add, those stripes and decals have really linked it all together and made it pop 👌🤩

[@chrishays454]

Excellent. This is an awesome example of a superbly engineered and built street car for max fun, not just going in a straight line.

[@builtbybagsy]

Absolutely love it. Beautifully built car, well thought out and driven! Great episode.

[@lodestone69]

Man this is one intelligent car nut. Im generally a blue oval fan, but i absolutely love this Torana and all the forethought and work that went into it. Well done mate, you should be proud.

[@spiro5327]

If only the factory A9X was this good. What a great car in every way. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

[@bigal878]

An amazing car and Heath is an absolute craftsman. 👍

[@sidbobby3233]

Most complete modified car ive seen on this channel owner has nailed it. Lovely 😎😎👊👊👍👍✌✌👌👌

[@sm00thcrim]

Love it Heath, you certainly nailed the whole build. was great watching it all come together over the years, and appreciate all the chats when working though my build mate. you certainly are a valued part of the Torana community champ!

[@TheBantas67]

I was lucky enough at summernats this year to go for a cruise and burn some rubber with this legend

[@konstantinosadamos8545]

id say one of the best episodes so far !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@scotthunter1639]

Absolute amazing workmanship what Heath has done with this unique Torana.. The fabrication is 2nd to none,one insane car tuff as nails 💪👊🤙👌

[@MrNBowden]

What a build! I’d happily have this bloke build me a car. Attention to detail is beautiful.

[@TURBOTRISTO]

I love everything about this car

[@HSVR383SC]

That is such an awesome build. So well thought out and executed and I can see he loves it! I have an LX Hatch rolling shell in the shed and this video has given me some great ideas. Thanks for the amazing video Fullboost!

[@kaybee9363]

Love it! Bring back the 90s themed builds.

[@the510wagon]

What a friggin awesome car!!!! Heath's enthusiasm is contagious 😄

[@skidmarks5952]

Crazy well engineered build by a very talented builder, cool to see something other than an LS .

[@benmclean2291]

Great episode 👍👍 Congratulations Heath on an awesome build. It was very insightful to see your Torana build throughout the years and the engineering that has gone into it. Fantastic stuff 🍻

[@txddyfarquh3916]

That pastel blue with that touch of yellow/orange/red just screams "90s aussie muscle" imHo. This car is so tastefully done and i think this young Man could be one of the many go to Guys for advice if your planning a Torrie build

[@josephkelly4893]

Amazing engineering on this car, top to bottom it’s perfect

[@ghostdriver5880]

What a stunning car and a dedicated build

[@ametti000]

Mr Happy. I can only aspire to be like him. He knows what he's talking about and build stuff too. Good on him.

[@deankdx]

EPIC BUILD! Epic Video by fullboost too! Heath knows how to have fun! My first LPG car was using 11c per litre gas.. Remember one team at Batthurst raced on LPG and swapped the whole gas tank at pit stops

[@Hezath]

Hahahaha that is awesome!!! 😅

[@deankdx]

@@Hezath wondered if you can mount a forklift bottle for extra capacity (20L? ) or a donut tank (45 usable litres) on the back floor(swing up for sleeping or lift out?) might affect center of gravity hehe. A mate in Gembrook has heard this car and says it sounds Glorious! Really glad this video shows all the mods and details i was able to see on the forum build, didn't even cover the wiper motor relocation mod ;)

[@Hezath]

@deankdx anything else I add tank-wise would ruin sleeping in the car... the way I've made the rear suspension does encroach on some of the rear floor shape... you don't get much for nothing on a smallish car! But yes a forklift bottle could be arranged in a pinch. The sound of the car seems to get better and better as the temper of the stainless has changed and/or the mufflers have filled up a bit. The sound is pretty unreal! hahahaha

[@Brodes1983]

This has to be one of the most well thought out cars. Well done

[@em2attic]

This car is fucking beautiful!!!! I love the 80s features mixed with modern technology along with his engineering wizardry on the suspension. I can only imagine how fun this thing is to drive! Awsome car man love seeing builds like this!!

[@MrR31power]

This is such a nice build Heath has done a exceptional job. Well done to all who were involved thanks for sharing.

[@michaelteasdale2919]

This bloke is on top of his game....Mint car too👌

[@danielspencer1973]

That's a properly nice Scumbird! Love it

[@999Rabs]

What a car and how good is Heath! Loved this review. Not only is the guy incredibly clever and knowledgeable, but he knows how to drive it too!!! ❤🔥💪🏼😊

[@nickg4135]

im glad someone out there is trying to make these old cars turn again instead of being drag racing tools

[@jessecooper7590]

Awesome build, very well executed. Seems like the man has some skills.

[@sidbobby3233]

Just fell in love, this car is beautiful.. very jealous of u lads down under. 😎😎👊👊👍👍✌✌👌👌

[@MrWerd910]

Now that is the most beautiful car I have ever seen.

[@stenchcivic1515]

A true street machine

[@BogDustForBreakfast]

beautiful build . congratulations to everyone who built it and the creativity of the owner

[@art-is-lazy4509]

God dam, that Torana and Heath are amazing, what a total passion project, dang thing is unique. Unloved ugly ducking to amazballs y'all.

[@walter9724]

My favorite torana in decades. Absolutely spot on.

[@SuperAinslee]

Been for a brisk ride in this MINT machine Great Car Great Owner !!!!!

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

Wow. what an incredible car. Great video as always

[@silkysixx]

Some Binky-level planning and execution in this little missile. I could listen to this bloke talk about that car all day.

[@Hezath]

Haha! I've heard that a few times and while I'm certainly not on their level, it's the best compliment ever. Love that you enjoyed it mate. Thank you.

[@onedayatatime4232]

The line...you used crack me up older folk growing up in the 90s 😂😅😂😅...that must make those of us born in the 60s ancient 😅😂. The SLR 5000 was the pinup child of the era. As was the HZ GTS.

[@stevo184]

Fantastic build. The engineering that's gone into has to be admired.

[@williamcrossan9333]

Quite an impressive rear suspension setup. Heath is quite clever!

[@normiereid7198]

This episode is GOLD well done..

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

Great way to start a Sunday !!! Shit hot Torana Heath 👍Takes me back to my Straight gas research nugget HZ Kinga

[@trahernbt]

Love it, you know your car, you thought out every bit and your hands on. Enjoyed watching this. Love its driven and not hidden.❤

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

The more you see the more impressive it is. Absolutely magnificent build.

[@brucehowie4794]

Awesome video, thanks for that in-depth look into Heath's gorgeous Torri.

[@chrisoliver4663]

I always signal and pull over to the left when a cool car comes up behind me, let them go and enjoy driving :D

[@David-tu6nu]

Amazing build and awesome video explanation. Well done to all! Keep it up 👍

[@Tk-ou9ec]

Damn that’s nice. Bloody ripper mate.

[@chrisnormans]

Heathy, nice work mate 💪🏻

[@emircosic7860]

This car in my opinion is PERFECT! in every way shape and form

[@Handbuilt1]

Car looks amazing , very well engineered and a great job , well done !

[@leightonB69]

Awesome build love it ❤

[@gsh3159]

Beautiful build. Grew up in the hills, love all those roads

[@choongalol]

What an amazing car and beautiful bloke!

[@stevesloan6775]

Mad car! It’s a testament to the owner/builder. Beautiful work! I’m currently doing an engine bay restoration(bonnet bracket rust) on a Torana. This SS is a full blown IP race car, with a 383 single four barrel and pumping out close to 800bhp. Absolute weapon…

[@lenphillipson3456]

Great car, great owner with great knowledge. A truly impressive looking car. Very excited to hear it started life as a UC model. I did the same thing, picked up a motorless UC hatch, was a drag car. So had a little bit of work done. Picked up an old lx sedan and cut & welded everything to create my red & black hatch with a 5L 304. Again, excited to see and hear how you built your car, it’s next level +10. Well done!

[@sheel2]

Been waiting for this video!!! Great coverage FB and thanks for running a 30 minute feature to dive into some of the detail. Believe it or not, there is a heap more detail but you would need 2 hours!!! Literally too much to mention!

[@chrisoo8998]

Geez what a build well done 👏

[@andrew8502]

Legendary build Heath. Great car and a great dude!

[@stephenbennett3330]

Best build on the planet not a bad aspect in this build, love at first sight.

[@marksmith2726]

Great video and car!! A proper street driven beast.

[@spkslab]

Great car, great owner/builder, great video. 10/10 👏👏👏

[@wannabBIGA]

A excellent build being used to its full potential, fantastic

[@borismcfinnigan3430]

Mate the thing is AWESOME!!!!!!

[@mattb5684]

Hey Guys, love the video and the bloopers at the end

[@dazza8389]

That's in my local hood I've seen Heath out n about crusing too great in depth vid 🍻

[@abccba3903]

Great vid, thanks guys.

[@nathanpeachs2704]

Just Epic Mate wow, hands down one of the Coolest cars I've ever seen 😄🇭🇲

[@abccba3903]

What a beautiful job, well done!

[@vassav]

This guy is way ahead of his time! What a build! i love the fact that its never finished, always improvements to be made

[@LucaS-es7ud]

Great episode guys. Amazing build by a top bloke. Gods fuel indeed 👍 🤣

[@stinkfinger1942]

Amazing effort by this guy, I'm an 80's model and the SLR was my first love.

[@nickallan6392]

Great build. Excellent👍

[@JDXFAB]

Car is 🔥🔥 love the interior
