Ok guys, had a quick look at what I had lying around. This isnt everything by a long shot, but covers some of what I have been getting PM's about.

First the doors....XA coupe doors. 2 right doors 1 left door. RH door 1 has a good frame and striker area, but the skin isnt great at all. RH door 2 is in good overall nick, has some surface rust and a few bubbles of stuff coming up down in the lower sill area, striker ok. Nothing too ugly yet. LH door is basically the same condition as RH door 2, except there is a rust bubble in the middle of the sill instead of at the end of it, and the striker area needs fixing. Can use either the spare door shell or I can supply a good striker repair section to weld into place. All the doors are easily repairable.

Boot....standard coupe bootlid. will need to be paint stripped and has a few older repairs in the end bit that goes over the tail lights. part of the skin has some filler in it. I dont know how deep, I got another bootlid, so didnt investigate further.

Stainless front left and right coupe door top trims.....These things are allmost concourse. all they need is a polish and away you go. No deep scratches at all on either, no dints, no gouges. These are an 8 or 9 out of 10 before a polish.

C pillar moulds coupe....These have been rechromed and present as best as possible. They still have the factory bubbles that you cannot remove, but present as reconditioned items. These are fairmont/gt items to suit the full length stainless trims of those models.

XA GT Guard Flutes....1 left and 1 right. 1 is definantly genuine (RHS) the other I suspect is an early repo as you can bend it about and shape it a little. Feels like lead??? solid but pliable if that makes sense. The genuine one has 2/3 pins intact the repo one none. These things are as rare as hens teeth, and a must if you are doing an xa gt front end.

Please make any queries/offers to PM so we dont clog the thread. If you want/expect me to name $$ then I will have to refer to ebay sale prices to get an idea of worth, as I dont really know their current values.
I have pics of all the above bits if anyone asks too.

Donny

I'm still looking for a fuel cap and ring in decent condition - not too fussed about pins or the internal plunger but the shell and latch need to be ok. Chrome or part painted not sure which I'd rather - if anyone has a spare?

Same deal for rear honeycomb - not fussed about the pins or colour but reasonable condition please, short of buying the repro gear.

I have the repo honey combs on mine. I ordered them with strong double sided tape rather than pins so I wouldn't have to drill holes in my beloved. They are excellent. I put them side by side with a coupe with genuine honey combs and couldn't spot any difference (except mine look pristine!).

I expect they are fantastic - but because I also don't want to drill holes, and because I'm doing some customizing too... I don't want to ruin a mint set and I imagine I can get away with a lot less money than buying brand spankers.

I think I paid $100 for mine off ebay. The guy is based in Western Sydney and sells them on ebay all the time. I'll have photos of my finished resto up later this week (less new wheels which I'm still looking for) so you can see for yourself how they look.

$200 for the lot. (very fair considering 1 good XA coupe door is worth $300+ on its own)

$150 for the pair

The stuff quoted above is still available people....Some prices attached as well. Im going away to Valla for the week, leaving in the morning (Thursday 30th), so will answer any PM's when I am back.

Hey Mike,
It might be my turn to help you with this one. :voldar02:
I know I've got one in the shed, so I'll dig it out & get back to you.
Cheers
Todd.

I'm thinking of replacing the steering in the xb coupe with a power steering set up. Does anyone have the parts as surplus?

I am chasing a coupe rear window chrome mould (will be painted black so black or chrome would be excellent) for an XC. I have a few extra door top chrome moulds (front and rear) and some C pillar moulds that I am willing to trade or pay the requested amount if any one has a set.

G'day all,
Just wondering if someone has a V8 tail shaft to suit an XB coupe with a single rail gear box & 9 inch diff.
Not too worried about yoke or uni's.
Any help appreciated. Located in Sydney.

Thankyou
Todd

Got one that's virtually new with DANA uni's and the lot - to suit V8 single rail but with the other diff. Any use to you? Transport?

Cheers Pat. I managed to get my hands on a mint console and dash from my cousin at Fairford Spares out of an old V8 Fairmont sedan he recently bought for wrecking. They are sitting snugly in my coupe!
