Wow thank you for all your help! I actually own a 1971 Mazda 1300 estate so I'd really like to get my hands on one of these bodies and any other bits and pieces.
Oh sweet! They were known as a Chrysler Galant wagon in Australia. The flutes on the rear quarters were only found on the coupes which in fact we did not get down here (New Zealand did though).
I've never heard of such a kit but a member of a Mazda Rotary forum I'm on found this picture:
Can anyone shed any light on this? I know there is a Mazda Familia/R100 coupe kit available so maybe it is a custom made resin body based on that.
Eric Bana still has his red XB Hardtop but is currently too busy with acting commitments to sought out a repair plan. Hopefully the car is salvagable although it did take quite a big hit. I'm not sure when it comes out in the US (if at all) but his new movie about the car itself called Love The Beast comes out here next week.
I haven't logged on in a while but it's good to see people are still enjoying these photos. I'm sure I've got some more so I'll be sure to post them up over the next few days.
Why I started? Because I was a car mad kid and I was encourage to engage in a constructive, creative hobby that reflected my interests.
Why I still do it? Because I can't afford all real, life-sized versions!
