Fish you should be able to tell from the second photo, sunny Melbourne.
If you are down this way your more than welcome to have a look.

Was hoping to have the paint & body finished by now or at least started
But the new motor, trans and diff are ready, only thing I have to get is the engine bay wiring harness so I'll just keep driving the old girl until then.

Wayne they are some sweet rides what size are the hot wires they look real good, so all you need to get is the wagon to match!

Cheers
Tony

I should add that as it was in that last pic, it had a 460BB in it. I bought it minus all running gear.

I love that green XB GS, hope you keep it original. Looks like a nice clean & tidy one.
Would be a shame to butcher it.
Just my opinion.

Default Too Fast for Front End

I was going to post pics of my coupe when it was finished ... but I can't wait 2 - 3 years

Apparently they go so fast, the front end goes flying off :

You've certainly set the benchmark with the ute.

Washed it Dave, washed it......!

Haven't you seen those pics before? I pulled the front off it ages ago and painted it black, replaced the bent bumper with a straight one and fitted overriders and silly numberplates!

Plenty left to do including some good old rust cutting! :
