Thing is about the cooler is that you binned the 3 door into a ditch and you gave it to Mossy for NOTHING!

Craig

 

Mossy's favorite expression is "It will go again"

He's now tearing the engine and box out

so had plenty to spare, still got a bloody drum an a half

fast worker, thats gonna be cool when its done

 

Very nice project mate

its looking good

how do you degrease it then mine needs doing???

 

Them stickers still about

where else can you get them other than ebay????

 

We, well mossy, just used a pressure washer and a mix of petrol / diesel adn it came up like new

As far as I know, u can get the stickers from most graphic places, if you dont wanna use ebay, then look in the back or Performance Ford or Fast Ford, if i remeber correctly theres a couple of people who advertise them in there.
