The only one we reused from the old shell was the drivers wing moulding.

I couldn't get a new one for that so I got a really nice used one from Paul at North Yorks RS Spares.

Got to work through all the niggly bits now!
Car looks awesome gary, much better with the door mouldings on it

Ive got a brand new light blue ford badge for the boot lid you can have If you want it? Had it years but put the later dark blue badges on mine.

I'm happy for you, you did a great job mate.

The side mouldings finish it of real nice.

Don't break it to soon enjoy it first.

Spoke to Tony the other day and he said to do 500 miles in it and don't treat it too gentle, change the oil and then bring it up to him

I've done 270 odd now and all seems good so far so hopefully won't be too long

Yeah I think the side mouldings finish it off nicely!

Better than looking at holes in the doors anyway?

Cheers mate but I've already put one on now

Cheers mate, I've waited a long to time to have my cossie on the road and now I just want to enjoy it!

It'll be at classic Ford next weekend so pop over to the PF stand for nose and a natter if you're going

Good man! What colour and spec did you get?
