Default Do you work in a Ford Dealership and have an interesting car/project?

I hope this doesn't upset any mods, but I work for an internal Ford mag; Autoteam, and we like to run little features now and again on interesting events and cars etc. In the past (before I joined the mag) we did run the odd feature on dealer staff who were restoring cars or had interesting old Fords.

So, if you work in a Ford Dealer or Accident Repair Centre, and have an interesting car, or project (Ford obviously!), post here please. Anything from Anglias, Escorts, Capris, Fiestas, standard to fully modified - we may be interested
