cheers for comments

The previous car was a 1600 shell on a b plate, that got stacked and wanted to carry some areas of the car to the new shell. So tracked down a new shell (as in brand new still with the Ford factory stickers on it !) and decided to keep the old reg, sentimental and all that, lol

Bad for the purists . . . great for the good times

Bailey - top mounts I had made, can get you a set not a problem

Is the cage chrom moly or mild steel ?

You are gonna need some bhp to lug all those tubes around if they ain't c/m.

Workmanship looks very nice though .
