    Looking good, Ade, lots of nice little details.
    What you going to use for wheels and tyres and brakes? Sticking with the Stock mech stuff?

    HI Mart
    I will be running std front wheels and moded rear to make them a bit wider as i sourced a set of 450 by 17" front and 550 x17 rear should give a nice big and little thing going on i have a set of hydraulic brakes for the front still thinking about the rear might keep the cables but use a clutch cylinder to operate the cables not too sure yet

    still much to do but now i work in a school i get all the holidays off so it's only 5 weeks befroe the summer holidays start so would love to take it to the all ford rally even if it gets a trailer there

  9. Very nice work!! I'm guessing it will have a full hood and belly pan. Should be a real good looking car when done.
