thanks for the comments guys glad you like her .
now to fill in some details left the factory as 6 cyl t-bar auto red pepper falcon 500 ... your basic run of the mill shopping trolly, the only thing different is i believe it had a continental vinal roof similar to pinkbits coupe . I say that only by all the rust holes i had to fill from the trim trips along the side & across the roof. she now sports a orange pearl paint job 399 cube cleavo stroker running straight lpg through a twin gra setup ford toploader gearbox 9" 3.5 lsd xb gt dics brake rear end have only just got her fully rego'd after a 15 year full rebuild

Havn't checked this site out for a while, loving these new coupes, Sensational colour the orange one and the plum XA post up more photos if you have them, thanks. Always a sucker for XAs in either Plum or Violet.

Geez!!! Gotta love a black coupe.
Bugger going back to original, I'd keep it black. What was the original colour? Also whats the plans for the blue coupe motor wise, Full on Drag or a nice cruiser. Are those wheels are supposed to be left and right facing. Cheers Jack

Well it finally stopped raining up here on the mountain so gave the coupe a much needed wash & got round to taking some decent pics of the engine bay.
So here you all go hope you enjoy. a before shot  And more importantly the after shots   & for those that want to know 399 stroker on straight gas

Well the XC Coupe is now registered for the summer and we took her out for the first run. It is spring over here now and this weekend has been absolutely beautiful.
So here she is out for a run in Derbyshire. Wayne
