The problem is the florian looks grate because the resto has been done in the last 6 mts or so . .the gt was painted 10 years ago and has been stored stacked on and just not treated well . Eavern though it's a solid and rust free car it doesn't look as good . Suppose I will have to re paint next year when I finish my next projects . The other problem is that I tend to use the bits and products that I happen to have . So my restos are not near the quality that other blokes seam to be able to achieve . I guess that me . Gricey

no probs i will get some Glenn we are lucky to have a very active classic japenese car club here, tomorrows trip has 36 members heading out i think 18 cars not all belletts but as far as i know we have 4 gt's and 1 sedan a prince,celica,galant coupe,rx7 plus plenty of other interesting machinery. A full on day hanging crap on each other we cop a fair bit as belletts hold a strong stance in the club.

Good work Gricey
Leave the F truck at home(Lizzie and I will only have to jump start it again anyway) and drive 2 cars to the nationals.
Have fun on the club run GT Orph.
If I wasn't maning my furniture stall at the Redcliffe Festival markets tomorrow I'd be coming along for the drive too. Gotta try to make some more $$$ for the dot to dot trip.

Traveld about 300 k in the two cars over the week end no real problems . I drove the florian . What a grate car I did not want to stop . thinking about it. . What is it worth . No idear. $ spent not Mutch . At this point $2500. Plus swapped parts for mini lights and tyres . Thanks Geoff. I guess it's only worth what some one would pay for it. Would I sell it I dout it . it's a far better car than I thourght . I love it . Gricey

Gricey the seller of mine was originally asking 6k and I got it for 4.5k.
Told Shannons I paid 6k coz lets face it the next guy might have.
And that kind of coin is small biscuits compared to 15k Torana sl 2 doors and 30k falcon gt replicas!!!
