Definitely would like to see updates, awesome Australian motoring history, good onya for looking after her!

[@allterrainadventure]

Cheers mate I appreciate it!

[@AUXRRoadstoration]

Hi mate I just stumbled across your channel, Your opening statement is spot on, It is the exact reason I am doing a roadstoration on a couple of AU XR's, An AU S1 XR8 for myself and an AU S3 XR6 which was my mates he bought for the same reasons, He passed away not long after buying it so I started that first, its almost ready for a blue slip then I will start the XR8. I have to learn everthing I do so it takes a long time but I do use it as a garage tinkering project, mental health and in someways just a break from reality for a little while, i will be subscribing to watch this build.

[@allterrainadventure]

Absolutely mate, you get it 100%

[@philnorbury9032]

I’m with you mate my old BA Ute saved me, even just cleaning it helped.

[@allterrainadventure]

Bit of auto therapy boys!!

[@MarcAcetone4x4]

Mate!!! What an absolute gem. If only ppl new how good of a solid base you have right there, So keen to watch this progress 😍

[@allterrainadventure]

Thanks mate!

[@stevepierce3509]

Awesome mate great project survivor coming back to life. Well done for persisting on it for 19 years .

[@allterrainadventure]

Haha yeah paid off in the end.

[@Shed-To-Beach]

What an awesome project 👍 I couldn’t agree with you more mate. Every bloke needs a shed and every shed needs a project. It absolutely does wonders for our mental health just having something to tinker with like you said. Looking forward to following the build 🤙 🍻

We came a cross one many years ago at a wrecking yard. Was partially stripped but was still a complete car at most. Wish we saved it back then. Good luck with the build looks like it’s gonna be a great build.

[@allterrainadventure]

Oh mate the old wrecking yard can be a sad place ey! Cheers for the support 🍻

Great find, mint vehicle for its age. The XC will come up a treat, well worth keeping. Loving the 28’s in the background, you must be in WA. Cheers

[@allterrainadventure]

Yeah man WA. But what’s a 28?

[@richardayoub5323]

They are a Parrot unique to WA, green and Blue with Black head and Red on the bridge of the nose.

[@allterrainadventure]

Thanks for the support mate!

[@Bunyipz]

Damn my old man bought the station wagon with the 351 motor Inthe mid 80s. had Column shift auto and pale yellow colour and the same rims as this one. My sister blew it up in the 90,s and sold it unfortunately. Have fun doing the restoration.

[@MarkCockerill-r9t]

New to the channel and looking forward to seeing regular updates on the rebuild 😎

[@user-wi9qv3nf4w]

I like this story. 19yrs to buy it. Allan moffat edition, & still registered. Our story, my late mums xc gxl sedan. Had about 44yrs now. No where near rare like yours & it's metallic blue. It was near new when she got it, & will never get sold outside our family, still has mums home made dash mat & extra outside big mirror. Xa xb xc v8's are worth hanging on to because they're spacious & comfortable too. Dad had a red xe 6cl Fairmont for a while, it was a good car too except a squeaky front end we never solved.

[@allterrainadventure]

@@user-wi9qv3nf4w love it mate! Hold onto to it!

[@Issueforth]

Looking forward to your progress!! Subscribed from this video to see how you go, can't wait!!

Man I hear ya!!! I definitely didn’t have money for this but couldn’t knock it back!!

[@warwick4763]

I had a Moffat Special in British Racing Green in the 80’s my first V8 great car had it for years but in the end it rusted out and I couldn’t save it lack of funds but had some much fun with it and 302 V8 and 4 speed mine didn’t have power steering either thanks for memories hope you finish the project

[@twilightroach4274]

Hey mate, just subscribed. Even though I’m a Holden man, I love all of the older cars. Please do updates on your project progress as I love seeing our history being brought back to life. I’m nearly financially ready to start rebuilding my HZ Sandman that I took of the road in 1995(life got in the way). PS enjoyed you video, and good luck looking forward to the next episode.

[@allterrainadventure]

Thank you for the support man!

[@allterrainadventure]

Thanks man! Appreciate the support!!

[@Starlight_GT]

Just subscribed, that bottle opener is genius

[@micksss7444]

I would definitely like to see you doing the restoration on this one. I remember walking past the Ford dealership on my way home from school and seeing all of the "new" XC models lined up along the front - the yellow and black was my favourite colour scheme. Grab yourself some rusted solutions - rust gel to help remove the rust from the pitted areas after you sand off the paint, it works well. I thinks Howard Astill has used it on his channel and goes through the process. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@allterrainadventure]

@@micksss7444 thanks mate. Yeah I know the stuff

[@elisemcclymont8029]

Definitely would like to see more of this car and the restoration process. Cheers

[@allterrainadventure]

Yeah man I’ll be keeping it as original as I can. And anything I change will just be a few bolt on things.

[@dazr123]

You have to keep us updated ,it will be great to watch her come back to life .Have you thought about reaching out to Allan Moffats people & seeing if you can send him the glove box lid to be signed in honor of him ? Apparently he still has good days where he is switched on & you could courier the lid to them & he could just do it when he was up to it .

[@allterrainadventure]

How cool would that be!! Might be worth a shot ey!!

[@nathanhickeyhickey8693]

G'day .. nice save If you pull your glovebox inner shell clam out look inside and down and you may find an assembly line build sheet taped there .. dress rims & mudflaps 👌

Absolutely mate. I’ve found them under carpet on old holdens. I’ve checked this and nothing haha. Completely forgot about the glove box.

I thought Allan Moffat specials were all yellow. (302/auto/rally pack fits). Also, there should be an Australian flag decal below the mirror on each side. Am I mistaken?
