Hi,
I just had a look through the piccies, does indeed seem nice, just need to do the tyres letters in white now for the period look, me dads had NCT tyres on as new, interior certainly looks like it wore well through the years.
Good find you got there,

Nice find, are you keeping it standard ?.
I really love the tacho where it is at 5 o'clock when off, looks well smart, got one from a mk2 granada 2.8 V6, to go in my cossie clocks, only thing is these are not back lit like cossie clocks so have to find a way around that, thinking of cutting a acrylic ring to transmit the lights as used on other clocks.

Yes could be done, using either electric pump and fluid rack, or electric rack.
The problem would be the rack, but so long as there is a similar model with PS, such as ghia or orion ghia etc will be dead easy, of course then you would just need to swap the lot over, as htis age will no doubt be a fluid pump on engine and a fluid rack.
