I'm cheating - I found a complete NOS plenum to replace my rusted one.

What I lack in metal working skills, I make up for in spending money

G'Day

Done a bit of work to the coupe and thought I would post a couple of pics. Fitted new 9" with 3.5 gears, GT Finned drums on the rear and Hoppers Stoppers Drilled & Slotted Discs on the front, Lowered all round with Lovell springs in the front, GT leaf springs in the back and Koni adjustables all round, all steering parts and bushes replaced, new foam filled Veem Tailshaft, reconditioned GT/GS Steering wheel and lastly red walls on the tyres.

Hi Guys,
here are a couple of pics of my Goss...

whingey · 25-09-2009, 08:11 PM

Verrrrrry nice!

Geez Louise · 25-09-2009, 08:11 PM

Welcome to the forums Jon JGS302. Nice coupe

Auslandau · 25-09-2009, 08:13 PM

Goss's are special ... especially the blue ones.

The car mats look great ..... wouldnt be an off the shelf item??

Apollo66 · 25-09-2009, 08:40 PM

Nice looking Goss, the blue ones do look nice but I might be a bit bias

Big Mike · 25-09-2009, 11:49 PM

That is a nice Goss. I might be biassed too - but I like sublte custom touches that make it exclusively yours.

Not the right thread I know - but is it true blue Goss' were all Auto, and green Goss' were all manual? Tailem Bend fuel stop on the way back from Echuca some bozo decided to tell me he had a John Goss from brand new, a blue one. I said "Ahh so a nice automatic one, the white trim?" And he goes "Nup, it was manual - FIVE speed" obviously at that point I stop listenning to this idiot, they were not 5 speed. But are the blue and green respective to auto and manual?

To answer your question, No, either colour was available with either transmission.

Where did you hear that garbage from Mike?

montyv8 · 26-09-2009, 01:56 PM

I'm loving the redwalls...

I don't recall where I heard that, thought it made some sense but wasn't sure, thanks for clarifying!
Look, i've found this reliable! profitable forex system

G'Day Gossy and MontyV8 thanks for the comments, sorry for the late reply but work gets in the way!

Not much else to tell about the car Gossy apart from the 9" is an LSD shortened to XY length, standard C4 and Stock 302. The car was in pretty good original nick. I have a 351 crank in the shed so next up is to rebuild the 302 using the crank, put a 3" system on it, get the C4 rebuilt and fit a B&M shifter. I am also thinking of fitting a shaker scoop with the standard bonnet. Another pic of the redwall tyres montyV8:

My XA with 460 big block, C6 auto and 9 inch, done it GT scheme but by no means a replica.

That looks fantastic, and I know what you mean about restoration work. I'm onto my second one and thats it. No more !!!

Bradxbv8 · 27-12-2009, 05:33 PM

This was taken on the way home from Echuca by the guys in the yellow ex Bond race car. We got cought in torrential rain comming into Tallem Bend and by the time we pulled into the servo, most of the place was compleatly flooded. This photo was around the Murray Bridge area and was just a great shot to post. All the best
