Great thread guys- lost of good and bad bits- the car is a credit to you- nice personal touches too......Accidents happen, but only to those willing to drive their cars properly- that is what she was built for!

Hope I'll get to see her at Echuca this year.......IF my rust bucket is ready

I just re-read this whole thread. We were in a race to get it finished for the last Hardtop Anniversary in Echuca.

Since then, the poor ole coupe has had some more bad luck. On the way back from All Ford Day, we were hit in the rear, so she is in the panel shop again.

Damage to the coupe wasn't too bad, although it was hit in one of the worse places it could have been, the other car...a wrx..has seen better days!

Coupe:



WRX:



They just don't make 'em like they use too!

Hopefully we will have her back soon.

Man that just sucks! I bet Jack wouldn't have mind put a few more dents in that WRX, with the drivers head.

Coupe is still at the panel beater.

Damage wasn't too bad.
Should be ready for the club display day at Caribbean Gardens.

Cheers Jack

What is it with young blokes now days with their pants hanging half way down their *****. I am going to take a stab here and guess he was the one that was driving the wrx?

I think the reason that his pants are so low is that the made a deposit in them after he seen Jack walk towards him after he hit him.

Hi Ian.

I asked for it to be removed whilst I sort out some issues I am having with it.

Don't worry. I still have it...and it will be rebuilt

Cheers
Col

Bummer Col. I hope you get things sorted.

I'm knee deep in an XE build at the moment, but keep looking at my coupe and thinking that I could get it done inside of 12 months - but I need to get one car done before starting another. I need less work, more time and money - how do I get that????
