Gday This is my XB Coupe that was involved in a hit and run over 20 years ago, I havent been able to go any where near it because of the dissapointment from this accident. It has just been sitting in the garage doing nothing, but I have now found the confidence in restoring my car to the best its ever been. I have found a new quarter panel rear beaver panel this Coupe is going to have a nice bath to get it ready for a full make over. So now im in the beginning of a big journey to bring her back to life. this is the first time I have used photo bucket and not sure if I have done it right http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/XBCOUPE/

Ouch! Apart from the rearranged rear quarter it looks like a really nice car! what drive line does it have? My brother in law had a really nice XB GS coupe new from the factory...he still regrets trading it in on a new XD back in 1980!

Gday
This Coupe at this stage has a worked 302 cleveland backed by a full manual C4, dominator 3000 high stall converter with a TCI reverse shift valve body & a high performance servo kit.
It has a nine inch disc brake rear end with 3.55 ratio.

Bugger! What hit you? The old coupes aren't exactly made from Hyundai metal, that's a nasty punch. Glad you
are going to bring her back to her glory. There's a half decent range of XB reproduction spares out there now so that might help make the job
