The plan is to build a GT replica which looks pretty much stock but has all the good gear where it matters. I am aiming for it to look similar to the black

I have been concentrating getting the house and landscaping finished before spending too much cash on the cars.

Compared to some of the coupes I've seen people rebuilding of late it still looks savable especially when you look at the replacement metal that is out there on the market now.

I guess anything is saveable if you are willing to spend the time (and have the skills) to do it. I'm hoping someone will be willing to buy the shell once I have stripped it as I honestly don't have the room to keep it.
