Falcon resto

[Booney]

Over the past 3 months,in conjunction with a mate or two I have been restoring a 1968 XT Falcon.It is about 3 weeks from ready,and when all is done I will post some pics of some of the job.All being well a nice finished project.

In 'Googling' old Falcons and alike I found the following pics.As the story goes this was a $95,000 resto!!!!!!!!! Done over 4 years.

This little mishap (F***********!) occured when it was being delivered home.

Ouch.

I could do with $95,000 for a little "restoring"

Oh sweet Jesus. That would rip your heart out. The sad thing is once you do the front end like that it's all but pointless restoring.

story goes it was on the way home but it was actually during a wedding. stuffed the most important part of the car, left hand strut tower where the numbers are, only way it can be "restored" now is to be rebirthed. great colour/trim combo too. pretty rare i would have though then you add the sunroof its enough to make you cry
