This one lives at takeeys $12500 will see it sold it was white, this might clarify they are all white who knows :?:
Dutch is interesting did you get them in Holland Dick ?
I looked hard at this car it would surprise you one day either because you rub it back or it will show itself one day ?
I opened the door and the smell :? my lungs now think I was a smoker for the last ten years.

don't blame you, Orph. from the photos I have seen, its a pretty quick and crappy paint job and full of bog and rust to boot.
can understand your difficulty finding a suitable car to sink your cash into as I reckon the white one with the white bumpers is also a quick tidy up and more plastic than metal.
hope the one you expressed interest in comes good and is an affordable import for you.

would still like one but not a good time for investing in cars for me at moment.

still love to see and bellett estate land on our shores!!! as well.

Nah the guys in Holland didn't get the Fastback; it was just a Japanese brochure they re-hashed and Dutchified!

Quite different to the earlier brochures that are almost all unique between languages!

With emails being a week apart as i am after a quote on on getting it running, battery and some fuel should do it :?: a brake master cyl needed for some brakes. This till save me at least $1000 as it will be drive on drive off. The other factor is that there is a lower risk of damage. Only half the bodywork is interchangeable. I can see wharfy forklifting and pushing it around with no brakes is a cocktail that could be hard to fix. This car has no bumper bars either that are being searched for if not I will make something fit but does not help with the above issue.
With the above said waiting waiting waiting I watch the a$$ fall out of our dollar :x

Defiantly get it going. As you know, the two SPORT'S suffered but luckily the better car, not so bad. With you contacts. Hopefully you can get it sorted.


The dollar an Yen exchange is even worse now. BUGGER.

I like the position of the side mirrors on the green Fastback do you know if they are connected to the frame with grub screw?
Cheers

Reason I ask is that I bought some mirrors off a Lime bug website to connect hot rod style to the door frame because I welded the holes up years ago and cant bring myself to drill them back out!

They look very similar to the Isuzu mirrors but in stainless steel

I have not examined a genuine mirror, would anyone comment on how close they are?

For $60 its not a bad replacement

Cheers Flying

Hi flying, those mirrors are very similar to the GT mirrors, but are very weak where the mirror body is attached to the stem. We have had two them fall apart while driving down the road.

Cheers Geoff
