Yes, wild plum is either E or K for XA. Is it a white interior?

I think I have seen pics of your car. Was it on ebay or aussiemusclecar sales not that long ago? How much rust is in the old girl? Are you going to keep it a six or drop a V8 in?

when it comes time to chasing any spares let us know, there are quite a few different places out there now selling different repo parts from interiors, switches, rust repair panels and fibreglass panels. Don't forget to check for any water leaks and rust
