Already started the quest for parts (ie Front bar, LHS eyebrow mould and Steering wheel)

Let the fun begin

George, who's the man................you the man! Congratulations mate. I notice that the disease has already set in. Good to see. Front bar and an eyebrow mould I'm pretty sure that I can help you out with. If you can hold out to next week Karen and I are travelling to Melbourne and could bring it down for you.

Good luck with it. looks pretty decent, like the colour. Never seen a Landau interior done in Houndstooth before, a bit different.

Let us know how you get on.

XA Superbird here:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-FALCON-X...item20b15ca6e4

Was a club members car. Pretty decent unit, never been molested or pulled apart. Don't remember ever noticing much rust. Can enjoy now and resto down the track if that's what you want to do.

It's not for sale but I was at my panel beaters last friday as he is doing a bit of work on my son's ute. In his shed was a 2 owner Landau, which had been striped for a respray. But the amazing thing about this coupe was it had NO rust anywhere and had not been repaired. It was amazing. I checked all the usual spots, nothing !! My panel beater mate said he had never seen one like it. The only place left to check was the roof as he had only peeled back a bit of the vinyl. I tried, but of course was told it was not for sale.......
