1965 XP Falcon

Postby EF ECTIV » December 20th, 2008, 2:32 pm

Quick rundown my missus bought an original XP in perfect nick a couple of years ago, we got rear-ended first night she had it. Damn
commo drivers :? The panel work was done through insurance and turned out to be less than 100%, rust ended up bursting through
the sills months later along with other little outbreaks on the body. So we decided to have it all fixed at once. Enter operation full
respray.....

Ok guys picked it up this morning.... It copped a full respray and 100% rust removal. The work was carried out by Dave Cleary, owner
of a mint blown LS2 powered Torana (XXX LS2), and we couldn’t be happier with the work and Dave himself, he kept us updated the
whole time and was really easy to speak to/work with. He originally told us the work could take upto 8weeks- which we didn’t mind.
However in the end the work was completed in less than 3weeks, with one week waiting for the fresh sill from over east!

The colour is factory green, with House of Kolor Violent and Silver Ice pearls. In certain light you can really see the violent sparkle
throughout the paint and in other light, it just looks factory fresh. The colour really pops in the light. Sorry the pics don’t really do justice
to the paint. Big thanks to Jeff for recommending him in the first place. He will definitely be doing any future work needed.

Plans are to now bring the rest of the car up to scratch. Think major lowering, thick white-walls, interior re-trim and maybe some minor
engine work. Nothing over the top, she wants to keep it a daily driver for now. Anyway enough talk, pics....

Very nice. That colour is quite striking in person.

Lose the tint though ;)
