this coupe has been stripped and rebuilt several times in the 27yrs i have owned her ,used to drive her on a regular basis,got heaps of trophies from shows and been in couple magazines,always an interesting thing to read about yur car in them as you learn things about them that never happened,the story they print is mostly fictional and for readers entertainment

Hope you kicked his *** for putting that abortion on your car.

it was very shaggadelic baby yeah!!...there were some explanations as to how they come about but my reaction was not the best and this pleasant part of the gt was over rather abruptly and we got the graphics on it as in the pictures from street machine in 1991 which were taken were now is a housing estate just in front of browns plains industrial estate ....doc

when we decided to tear down and repaint her the second time we figured we would go something a little more fancy and tried a colour from Spray Chief paints that would put a spin on the theme and we could have a little bit of fun at show an shines etc ....the colour was "blue black pearl"a transluscent colour that had a great effect but turned out to be very hard to capture under the lights of car shows ...i very much have always been a big "pink floyd fan"and this is where the whole" darkside "theme came from we had a ball with it.
if you have a close look you can see where we cut out templates in the engine bay to flatten out panels help get that smoothe custom look,battery tray removed even the firewall coped the mod "yay" ..its at this stage that i wish i could have seen into the future and have known what sikoflex does to steel,not to mention that stuff does not ever ever want to be removed |

Great story that comes with the car. The car looked nice in the street machine feature, but I'm glad you've come full circle and decided to go factory looking. Apollo Blue GT coupe with sunroof isn't anything to be scoffed at that's for sure. Pretty much my dream car (with white interior and manual )
Looking forward to updates! |

Nice coupe and story. There is just something about a coupe with a great black paint job that makes them so good. Wish I had the time and money to give this kind of love to my old girl.
