It might only be a ford but that XR GT would be worth a good penny to someone..... it looks pretty complete. That's a rare colour too.

the firewall of a 6 and 4 cyl are diffrent, has to where the stirring coloum on a 4 banger only has 2 bolt holes and the 6 takes 4 bolts.
the floor from the tunnel back is all good once you change the handbrake hangers, rear patrol arm hangers,, and the little tab that holds the fuel line, and if its a 73 4 banger well you know the diffrence there with the extra strengthing.

hi craig, mate the floor is no diffrent if you un-pick it across the front hump, and dont use the back hangers the boot floor has the fuel line holder lug in the wrong place and the 73 floor will be wrong for69-70-71-72 has it will have the reinforced tunnel, but you can still use it for extra strenght i did in my ck bathurst car re-build, but you can un-pick that too if you want.

Hay mate.... If you look closely I think you will find the 4 cylinder lj firewall is Very different to the 6 cylinder car...... Even the pedal box assy is different. I'm unsure about the tunnel section but the firewall is definitely different! Maybe you should grab that other freebie while it is on offer?
hey craig and i thought it was another gs falcon and it just took my breath away with those to letters gt WOW CRAIG WOW
