Arriving as a partially disassembled project the current owner was kind enough to give us the opportunity to restore this very desirable GT.

His time and input throughout was invaluable assisting us in sourcing parts and information enabling us to restore the XB as close to factory original as possible.

No corners were cut, with numerous new old stock parts used, every other component was reconditioned with the emphasis on quality and high attention to detail.

With the help of Australian Muscle Car Magazine's Muscle Assist the current owner was able to trace some of the cars history and the first 4 images were unearthed thanks to a past owner taking the time to come forward.Showing a colour change and eighties interior treatment. 

The GT as it arrived in our shop

Parts removed, unpacked, laid out and hundreds af images taken.

Back from the grit blaster, shell and panels are thoroughly inspected.

Panel fabrication and replacement was required to rectify previous rear end repairs,left hand sill replaced,inner panels cleaned and treated.Repairs lead wiped.High quality 2 pack etch used on all repairs. 

Spies Hecker paints were used from bare metal to clearcoat,panels and internals are cavity waxed prior to fit up.

High attention to detail means hundreds of hours at the bench carefully cleaning,reconditioning,packing,labelling and storing every part in time for reassembly.

Final assembley through to completion.
