JFDI, mate! Rust doesn't sleep.
And the car in the first post looks a bit like an XW GT that gets around near where I live, driven by an old bloke with a big white beard. Bumped into him at the local 7-11 and asked him about the car (I was in the wagon, so it's quite easy to strike up a conversation!).
First thing he said was "no, it's not for sale"!! Had a very brief conversation with him as he got back into his car after buying a paper or something and managed to gleen that it was a real GT, he's had it since it was two years old, and he'll be buried in it. Needs a LOT of TLC (rusty sills, guards, door bottoms and God only knows where else) and looks like it's been to the moon and back, through every muddy field known to man. I see him every now and again and he always waves.
And I'm still waiting for my own barn-find. Don't frequent too many barns, though, so I won't hold my breath.
