Thanks for all the welcomes and advice.

I do really like your car Adam, however i want to make the modifications myself. What are my chances of finding a white one in good condition?

Depends how long youre prepared to hunt.
Theyre not exactly common.. But not as rare as a 3door GLT.
mrsoundcraft has one for sale/swap.
Because he feels its too good to strip for the track. some slight pannel damage though. And its a many door.
Adam had to do a fair bit of welding on his, even after he found it.
Keep your eyes peeled man.
Pistonheads, ebay, autotrader, gumtree, carandclassic, voc have all come up trumps in the past.

Dont think one has been mentioned as far as i recall.
Sure he'll get back to you quick enough though.
tip: the pm will show in your OUTBOX untill it has been read by recipient, then will show in SENT ITEMS.
Seems to be a point of confusion for newbies sometimes. :wink:
