Yeah, funny enough I whipped them off in my lunch break today,I think im going to get them blasted and powder coated gloss black along with the seat belt rails on the floor and the centre seat belt bracket and bolt, there's a company on the industrial estate that does it that ive used before.

 

Its gonna be better than when new at this rate.

 

Cheers pal, maybe one day... I hope

 

1980's ford dealer accessory tool kit

 

 

Going to have a stunner there when finished mate. Keep up the good work

 

Christ you've got
Some goodies there.

 

 

Cheers for the comments guys, much appreciated

 

That tool kit is cool as fook.

 

lol, I thought that too, as soon as I spotted it I had to have it, they do pop up on ebay tho, I havent seen another unused one before but good used ones do come up and the tools could be cleaned up with autosol and box re-plastic coated

 

Awesome project mate, enjoyed reading from the start. Just shows what can be achieved!

 

Im might start looking for a tool kit on the bay.

 

Decided to make some different seat covers hope you like,

 

very impressive
can you still get shocks & springs from ford ?

 

Many Thanks, best give your local dealer a ring don't know if they still do them, the things you think they will have, they don't and the things you think they wont have they have, its a lottery that's for sure, oh and the price of some things

Right first of a few up dates coming, next up the carb.

My friend Carl has been refurbing my carb for me, being a motorbike restorer and a carb specialist I couldn't wait to pick her up.

Anyway yesterday I got the call to say it was done, it's had a full vapour blast and ultrasonic clean, refurb and service kit. Really happy. If anyone wants his details PM me.

















Jay

 

looking good mate,can you pm me his number please

 

Next up, inlet manifold and thermostat housing. These we're run through the dishwasher and once again with just water no detergent. Then all the casting marks were removed and painted in a VHT Aluminium paint.

Simply Stunning. Once I've found a replacement for my old Mercury Grey E plate, which like a fool, I sold for Ł200 back in 2001 I'll be on the PM to your for advice, if I may.

Top work man! WHere did you get the new ford badges?

Much appreciated, badges were from eBay, but someone on here has lots of them on there website at about Ł30 each, I,d put a question in GD, I'll also have a look on my work computer as most of my handy links are on that, if it's in there I'll send it over tomorrow.
