Gotta love this car!!

Read the whole thread, and I admire your work and taste, and your attention for detail

Looks absolutely wonderful. Agree that Sparco st.wheel and dash match great!


How many years you've had this car ?

well done for keeping on to her for 10yrs
i bet if you sold it and wanted to buy another at a later date your standards would be so high you would end up looking for ever .might aswell keep her forever now as you could not replace it.credit to you pal

The grey one is for when the car is in reverse (undims the mirror) this i did not wire in on mine and the other two are just a live and an earth ,which i took off my int light ,as for the metal clip ,i always made sure i got them off the car the mirror was in ,i would say ford would do this seperate.i will look later on as to where i wired them in for you

Nice one thanks mate. Bumper looks sweet. I got the clip from the one in the scrappers. Gotta grind the glass of it as it looks like it was cemented on!!! Ill prob wire the reverse light in as it will be a nice touch.

Thanx
