If you want some measurements for the stripes let us know.
We also have a pinstriper who can sort you out (got the measurements off Kels car above).
The bonnet/boot stripes are Adelaide cars. Brissie cars don't have the badge on the boot either.
Whereabouts are you located?

40X = black vinyl trim
11410 = Kashmir White exterior paint
82911C (LC GTR or XU-1) J2 (Melbourne) 22948 (number sequence to which this car came off the assembly line)
Engine bay should look something like this:-
Engine number should be 2600S##### with Opel box.
All LC GTRs had the side stripes and 6 GTR badges (front, back, sides & inside on doors) and the rally stripes were an optional extra costing $15 at the time the car was being made.
The stripes were painted on but mine are vinyl. I sell these on eBay but if you are getting your car resprayed then the painter should be able to spray them on as per original.
Great to have another LC GTR back onto the road where it belongs.

As Barry said,
Side Stripes STANDARD
Side Badges STANDARD
Grill Badge STANDARD
Rally Stripe (This is the Bonnet/Rear deck, NOT the sides) OPTION
Brisbane Plant (Acacia Ridge) memo - Rally Stripe as option, but added Rear GTR badge as part of. Thus if no Option ticked, no badge or Rally Stripes.
Adelaide Plant memo - Rally Stripe changed to DELETE OPTION - ie. on all cars unless specified as no. Decklid Badge STANDARD

Not too many people think of taking photos like that one.
I have only one comment to make and I will back it up at a later date and that is:- NOT everything is in BLACK & WHITE
I had been in contact with a ex-worker from Acacia Ridge (1965-84) untill his demise in September last year and Ron had told me that things were done at a frantic pace when the cars were being assembled and that there WERE MISTAKES MADE.
I will scan and put up his letter to me which is very interesting.

and see what i can find, here's another thing the car had on it
the letters "CR" in crayon next to the hinge on the drivers side
could be a reference to the wiper motor code, considering this
car was assembled in the factory that was used to make HG's.
Don't know why i find this amount of detail interesting, i just
like to take note of any markings etc before they fade away,
it may be handy for someone in the future.
