Being in the states helps a lot. just search ebay for a 1967 fastback and make sure you do your homework on it. I think you guys have things called Titles? we don’t have them here but i think you need to ensure it’s clear or free or something?

Check for rust, also if ther car has had any prior accidents, all this can be hidden. i suggest going to this forum and asking the guys there for info.. most are in the states and would help you so much. The forum helped me a great deal.

As for price, well you can go mild or wild, you can really spend any amount. so i can’t say really. But you’re young, if yu start early and stick with it then you will get there. i was around the same age when i started mine. it’s been long but it’s slowely coming together.

Good luck with it mate.

Hey Khalil,

Firstly if you were wanting to make yourself an Eleanor i would say never to use an original 1967 GT500… this would be sacriledge! heh

I suggest looking for a standard 1967 or 68 Fastback in Australia. Try ebay, i’ve seen a few on there.

I got mine from the states which landed in Australia cost about 20k and it was rust free in good condition.

Make sure you have someone in the know look it over before you buy it as there can be lots of hidden problems.

An Eleanor project is not cheap, so make sure you’re settled in for a long, expensive few years!

hope that helps mate

[...] So this is where we are at. The car has finally had the body kit finished off and all the minor body work issues sorted out. We’re still continuing on trying to fit the side exhaust tips. We used the Aeroform tips and there has been quite a bit of modding to get them all to work nicely and not drop down so far they’re almost on the ground. This meant we needed to cut them up. [...]
