houndstooth for the win!

I love the car - she looks awesome - what a garage too

But mate, I can see a Commodore in one shot sitting in your driveway, so I am a tad disappointed ;)

Will look fantastic with the fat lips too

Can imagine teh bribery the wife can hold over you now though - restoring two coupes. If she doesnt nag about this - i will ask you to set me up with one of her cousins or sisters. Help out a fellow greek George

Thanks for all the positive feedback! I must say I open my garage door (internal) almost every time I walk past it just for a quick peek, The sight and smell is enough to put a smile on my face every time!

The front belts are out of an xd and can chaffe a little on the neck on long drives. I am chasing a set of original black press to release coupe fronts.

I am looking forward to Echuca!

Awsome George, awsome.

Are you going to put the orange stripes on the car? or leave them off for a cleaner look?, or put them on after paint correction.

Lovely job George. So nice to see it ready for Echuca. Karen and I are trying to get there for the weekend as spectators. I can hardly wait to see them all.

The Goss is now pretty much fully finished. I sorted out a few unfinished issues I had before and during Echuca.

I;ve applied repo reflective stripes. They are an exact copy and reflective having been based on a new old stock set.

Here are some pics from a local run I went on yesterday. Just a few very minor finishing touches before I can say I'm done but in the meantime I'm loving my coupe!

Great job George, well done!! Your Gossy looks a treat. Love the houndstooth seat inserts too, an inspired choice.

Thx champ. I am still enjoying the Goss. It was a great shell to start with and there are no signs of rust reoccuring
