XB Coupes of my past

[kcufasevigohw]

I had 3 coupes in my time.

1st one i restored as an apprentice. I replaced the door skins, sills, and drivers rear 1/4 Panel. Then I resprayed the whole car in Standox 3 layer pearl, black base blue pearl and hs clear, then flow coated it was like wet glass. I went to the nats drove it for about 6 months and I had 2 people run into me and smashed the drivers door and then another time smashed the passenger front guard. I fixed it all up and resprayed it again and sold it.



2nd was given to me by a milk bar owner who had vacant land near my house, I asked him what he wants to do with the coupe in the paddock, he said u can have it, its rubbish, lol. I pushed it around to my place with some friends, it sat in my back yard under a tree for some time. I sold it on eBay a few years ago, a Comando from SA fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan brought it. When he won it he rang me from Afghanistan and said can you hold it for me for a few weeks until I get back in Australia, I said no worries. He was going to do a MADMAX Coupe. He was full on this guy. When he landed back in OZ he rang me and said I'll be down next weekend to pick her up, I said ok, no prob. He drove down in an XB Sedan he purchased from QLD as well as an old car trailer and a navman. He turned up at my house at 10pm, I helped him load the coupe onto the car trailer. We spoke for a little while then he jumped in his car and drove all the way back to QLD with no breaks. He said he has to be back in Afghanistan on Tuesday. I'm like wtf dude....



3rd coupe I had was a rolling factory GS with a wind-back sunroof I sold a few months later. A fellow from the GT club of NSW, Dick I think his name was came to my house and inspected it on behalf of a friend who purchased it to restore his XB Coupe red pepper with black outs, also from QLD.

If that guy is reading this post let me know where your at with the build buddy ???

I'd like to see it.
