anyway that will prolly do with the history of this coupe,i have had quite the love affair with her through the years,i have kept her through three marriages and lots of life ,these last pics were about 10-12 yrs ago she was last regoed in 2004 when we decided to restore her to her factory look ,it will not be a concourse job because i will do a few simple changes which we will get to on the road to recovery.it has taken this long to get around to doing the resto because there has been other (hangs head in shame)cars ,sorry honey
because we had so many parts from the coupe that werent to be used we bought another xb which became my wifes car (be good if she did the bl00dy work on it #@!*)and of course along came the car i always wanted .the ac cobra which fell into my arms from the floods in 2011 ..so we are finally starting to do the gt after many years of collecting the bits that we so casually threw away all them years ago ,once again a crystal ball would have been nice
,factory air con ,too heavy rip that useless piece of crap out turf in bin next to factory steering wheel awfull factory aircleaners and 8trak players etc the list is too long and like so many of us found out(the hard way)what these parts would cost us to build these aussie icons back to how they were from the factory....i am suprised now thinking about it that it has only taken me 10 years to get around to this,and a special "THANKS"to some of the evilbay sellers who have fleeced me of my hard earned coin and sent me broken useless parts that looked nothing like what they advertised ,there have been some good scores ..2 actually haha..would have been from swaps,getting tooo old to be getting up that early to troll through peoples rusty bits of useless rubbish that makes you want to douse them in diesel so they stop bringing them to swaps and waste your time again and again same crap differant swap,you would think some of these people would realise that their rusty chrome tappet covers are not heritage listed and despite the dull story they tell about them when noah was a lad who carried his donkey to prep school and lived in a pothole ...rant rant (i will stop here on this topic as you can tell there is some literature that could be toned as offensive ,specially if your one of these busted **** rusty junk hauling rant rant )
anyway let this be a lesson to all the kiddies out there modifying there dream car,go find a hippy and do a deal on his/her crystal ball ,you'll wish you did in about 25/30 yrs time(at least they wont rust away there all plastic)....doc
