December 16, 200619 yr Author Very well done Congrats to you Connie, and Andrew for his thoughtfulness. Happy Holly Daze indeed! Thanks Skip..Andrew gave me a deal as good as yours with Willy way back .Within the next week Rory will be picking this car up to repair the floor pans and put an exhaust on it. Then this spring I will hopefully be able to finish the restore and if money allows get it repainted and take him down to the Dragon this year. OK right now I am :banana: Thank you sooo much Andrew!
December 16, 200619 yr Looks like a fine specimen to me. It couldn't have found a better home I'm sure. More of these guys need to be saved - I see them fairly often at the yards sadly. GD
December 16, 200619 yr Now you are "Officially" part of an elite group of people:-p Welcome to the club:headbang: You know where to go when/if you need parts and info:brow: GD, if it wasnt for deceased XT6's, we wouldnt have 5lug swaps:burnout:
December 17, 200619 yr Looks nice to me. Congradulations. Do you ever notice that the best Christmas presents that you get are the ones from yourself? You always seem to pick juuust the right gift. ~Myles~ that's my two cents and it aint worth a dime
December 17, 200619 yr Verrrry nice... hey, a little wax and elbow grease is all it needs to be drop dead gorgeous! It shines nice now... love the old car patina... beats the heck out of 15 coats of clear coat. Best of luck with it kiddo!!!! Andrew finds the coolest stuff... he rocks!
December 17, 200619 yr Hehe I saw that car listed in your sig, and I was gonna ask "When did you get an XT6?" Today I guess! Nice lookin rig. I said "rig."
December 17, 200619 yr Author HAHAHA This XT6 has been in the works for about a month now..but he is home now...Going to take a "family" pic tomorrow. Big Props to Andrew..doesnt hide anything and tells you liek it is..I knew everything that this car needed and he priced it accordingly..can't deal with a better person. I love it already and havent even had time to "bond" yet.
December 17, 200619 yr I would love to import one of them to Australia. Maybe I'll just have to build up a XT turbo with a H6. Looks great. AWD, mmmmm
December 17, 200619 yr looks like a keeper to me!! sure wish i could find cars that look that good around here. < is jealous.
December 17, 200619 yr Author looks like a keeper to me!! sure wish i could find cars that look that good around here. < is jealous. It has alot of rust on it..just all down low.You can actually see day-light through the floor. I plan on pulling it in the garage in a few and start cleaning,repairing,and compiling a list. The motor in this car is what I bought..20K mile Subaru factory motor...not a CCR import..so I have to make the car fit the motor....sweet.
December 17, 200619 yr well, the rust doesnt show in the pictures, so i have to take your word on that. good luck with the rebuild - in the midst of my own so I know how it is. wow, only 20K on the motor??? yeah baby! now i really am jealous!!

Good luck with it. I think you guys both worked out a great deal,each getting a vehicle they truely desire.My luck ran out at DMV and now it'll take at least a few more days to get the turbo wagon reg'd.So it's good that the kid came through for you.And Rory in NJ deserves a heap of thanks too for throwing this car together for Andrew.Good history,good base,going to be a really good KEEPER!
December 17, 200619 yr Author I spent the day with the car...did alot a vacuuming and cleaning and tinkering....took detailed pics for my own progress and stuff...anyway ..here is the link to the albumn in photobucket if anyone wants to look: http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f335/Bucky92/XT6/
December 17, 200619 yr My best wishes and I hope you have fun with your XT6. Looks like it hase a lot of rust. But I am sure you will take good care of this rare car. Merry Xmas, Connie! Lukas
