The XR7 doner car I bought finally arrived this week so this will give me the good qtrs, doors, floor etc needed for the Eliminator restoration.
I'm looking to buy a rotisserie next and then get the body off to be media blasted and ready for primer. 
Progress has been slow as I was still finishing the XA, but at least I now nearly have all the parts needed to begin the Cougar.

Not a lot happening major work wise on the body while I save up to get the panels done. I have been restoring a few parts like the wheel which was in pretty bad shape. It had the usual bad cracks at 12 0'clock etc which were filled but the hardest part was trying to replicate the wood grain on the centre pad. Anyway, its not a décor car but at least I have both wheel options.

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.
