Those Kuhmos do look good,what size are they?I think the car is finished,just get it safe and reliable and drive it like that... Grin No,not really.When I got mine home I got it running and drove it around the estate a couple times.It drove beautifully but when I stripped it down I realised how lucky I was that it didn't fall in half! Shocked

Somewhere there is someone cursing that they didn't get 2 little pieces of flash trim.

But what good luck on your part to get a matching rear seat.

Keep the updates coming - it will be interesting to see what else you find and how it all goes along.

G'day Hamfist, just let your brother know that being a ford nut is a disease, which can be cured  Grin. Obviously not genetic or contageous as you seem to be unaffected  Wink Cheesy.
Good luck with your resto.   FC Mikey

PS - I've got shed envy too

This car was actually owned by a mate of mine several years ago and unfortunately the stripe kit was already missing then.This was before it made it to the wreckers...Bugger..

The progress you are making is incredible. Looking good. Cant wait for the next instalment of photos.
I have shed envy bigtime but hopefully I will have something like that soon.

Cheers
