It is Kelly green with black interior. Cheers Paul Attached to this post: Engine_In_31709_009.jpg (1.14 MB)

It is 8/72 manual Dblock is "normal" for these early manual cars apparently. After speaking with a few knowledgable people it seem the car was correct with a bosch starter. The mounting for remote soleniod has also never had screws fitted so sort of confirms what the experts tell me. Cheers Paul

Greg(NSW) Posts: 986 Group: Senior Member Member #64 Joined: May 1, 2007	Me read other forums? Nah, just a good guess with the angle on the chassis stands. All info is good. I am fairly quiet on the xagt site as I am one of those evil Landau owners. I have met some of the gt people visiting Dave Shaw in Sydney. One day, I will finish my car. Have you set a completion day yet? I found that it is a motivation to do things more often. G.

Posts: 7 Group: Forum Members Member #365 Joined: August 1, 2009	No date set... but I am fairly motivated to finish ASAP. Just waiting for the completion of several items eg trim repairs, radiator, grill etc So really am just held up by others.... Car coud be completed as soon as next week (If all my dreams come true) but more likely some time in next 4 to 6 weeks.... cheers Paul P.S I must find out where this Dave Shaw has his workshop??? I have heard of him and he has given me some answers on the XA GT forum but I have not had alot to to do with the GT scene..... Have done most of the work myself other than paint.
