I'm looking to buy the exact combo you have to fill out my 1974 line up. 1974 TA 400 4speed white in original condition as possible. That said I've exported containers for years to New Zealand having contacts in Hastings and Pukekohe near Auckland. You have a beautiful country to cruise around in. Enjoy whats left of your summer.

They're never completely done right?

No kidding. Here's a picture of my previously "fully restored" car at a visit to my car guy.

Glad it's not just my bodyshop then! I was not expecting quite that level of dissasembly on a freshly painted car.

That last visit to the bodyshop for final tweaks was April 2024. How time flies! I've not really done anything to the car since then - very happy with the finished product and the time (and dollars) spent at the bodyshop is now a distant memory. I drive the TA weekly - mostly back and forth to the local tennis club but sometimes just a long drive out to the beach or somewhere just for the hell of it. Now that there is nothing left to do with the body or interior I do sometimes think about doing a mechanical refresh. They are never really finished right?
