Here's a pic of the XA at our recent Concourse day where the club was filmed for a TV show "Classic Restos".
Im hoping the NEW YEAR will bring more time / money to spend of the long suffering Eliminator!

Thanks to Mike for posting this link in Eliminators for sale as I think I've found the sister car to mine.

0F91M537631 = 1 of 100 Hertz sunroof Eliminators in 1970




According to the Marti report mine is one of 2 with California emissions and the options on both reports are identical.
Im just wondering if the number sequencing sounds correct as mine is OF91M537652 produced Jan 14th 1970 (6 days ahead of schedule) and the one for sale is Jan 15th OF91M537631 (4 days ahead of schedule). Apart from that the dealers were Oakland and Los Angeles.
I have sent the owner Dave a msg to confirm the emissions, so it would be good to know if it is the other car and still alive being restored.
I'm really keen to get moving on my resto this year, the only thing holding me back is just a lack of $$

The Eliminator is finally in the panel shop and the doner car has been chopped up for a greater good.
Next step is removing the rusted out floor and getting to work on replacing the rear qtrs with better metal.

Damn! Impressive! This was all done in AU? That sounds like a whole lot of fun getting the parts you need, especially two cars to build one.
