I've looked at it a few times on carsales, everything's already been done!Paint job looks great too, wonder how much power it has? 450-500hp maybe? Has a tough rear end with them 35 spline axles.Wouldn't be too hard to get a rwc for either as its already rego'd.The other one your gonna need a new paint job of course, along with cutting the rust out. Not sure what a paint job costs but I'm tipping a fair wack if done properly!Has a tough as motor though! Alloy headed 408, that'd be pushing 550-600 with a solid roller.Depends if u want an auto or manual? And if you wanna tip another 10k+ for a resto body resto & then get it rego'd and rwc.

What stage are u up to??I put back most of the interior today, bought some dynamat type mat kit (without the logo) on fordforum group buy, so put that down on the floor pan with the aid of a hair dryer and scissors!Its looks really good & will hopefully stop some noise & heat! I had to scrape off the spray on factory deadner which was a bastard!Then I put down the new black carpet, carpet joiners, scuff plates, back seat insulation, back seat & seat belts! Took all arvo but was worth it! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69076-xw-gs-replica/page/4/#findComment-1039459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you'll be done way before me though, lol.
