WHY WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN

I questioned Brett on this subject the other day 
Stickman asked for a photo of the little ruff er gt he has seen it and knows btw there is no icon for the one finger.
Well there is a little history for this one it spent the first couple of years as a rally car in New Guinea before landing here in aus. It was bought in by a pilot and soon become a family member and a few years later the family grew and this one had to leave. Now don't ask what is more important a gt or a sister as i might struggle to answer this one as i like her but i luv my cars 
I think she will understand if she reads this. Ol yella was sold to a guy named Bob who loved it so much he would not part with it after 15 years of ownership, although the car was in a run down condition Bob still drove it from far north qld to Brisbane on a regular basis. Bob was asked if it was to be sold if we could have it back. One morning we get a phone call to say that the car was written off it was hit up the rear by a hq holden with the driver of the holden had gone to sleep on the bruce highway and pushed it down the nature strip across the southbound lane causing front end damage and the rear was pushed back to the back window and if we wanted it we could pay the tow fees.
When it returned home it was put in a container out of the weather where it sat for 8 years and about 10 years ago we started a cut and shut with a sedan rear end. It was then put away again and over the years was raped for parts but always left complete with the old bits put back on. A few years back i bought the convertable in toowoomba that was rusted out but was complete giving us the bits to repair it.
Now comes the sick bit, I have only been to SA once that was when i was around 4 years old it was in a yellow gt and with the 2013 nats being held there i thought it would be nostalgic to return some 40 years after in the same car.
This could mean 2 things 1 i have a problem or 2 my family is that poor we still need to get around in the same car we had 40years ago

.
just drop the car to a resto mob and choose the colours 
but he does like the red one and claimed it but thats all. Next time i see him patches will be home we will see if he takes to it. He says it's a bomby crap car 
.
to get the rear end, that was about 10 years ago, and at that time no real value in a sedan. one conselation is that it became a real good donor car. not much left now,
