Happy for you Paul

Especially after the Red Pepper car...

I take it you bought the XA GT Aluminum sunroof car that needed the full restoration?

Aluminium? A rather rare Colour. I have never seen one!

Nice pickup Paul!

Give me a few years and you will see one Shane. Unless you want to see one with Genuine Origanal rust.

The two tone Black & Red interior is surely enough for Paul!

I must admit that the red insert's are a little on the bright side. Dont think they will be going back in when the car is getting put back together. Be the standard black with black cloth insert's.

The photo's didn't do the car justice. The car is not that bad for a pretty much untouched example. Rust is just in all the usual XA spots. Will be a pretty straight forward repair, albeit a lot of work......
