I doubt it would have been repaired under insurance, therefore not being a write off. You can see some rebuild pics showing a new rear 1/4 and RHF chassis rails and rad support. Can't see any reason for it not being unregesterable. Keep in mind that its not under general rego and normal rules don't apply.

Great news, great story too. But at the end of the day, how much of it is the original car, it should be called Frankenstein, not the Beast.

My old man used to have an xb gs we all called the beast too, that's one tough coupe though, nearly cried when he crashed it. Great to see it back.

Anyone who ever said it would "never be repaired" or was "unrepairable" has obviously never had anything to do with the world of restoring vintage cars...more than once i've seen a trailer load of rusted crap from the bush loosely sitting on a bent old chassis wheel out of the workshop a year later as a concourse condition trophy winner...Bana's car was bent, yes, but no biggy, not if you have the money and time. |
