looks great and the paintwork looks great

only thing i would do is paint the boot panel matte black rather than gloss but thats a minor issue

well done

Well done chief, this is how a rebuild should be done :)

Unlike mine lol, a nice GTE back box would look great on it now.

I remember seeing that in one of Ford mags a few years ago if its the same one...that was up Scotland. Is it silver?

Cracking effort on the GTE pal, it looks fantastic :)

Do you do all the welding/painting yourself? As its all really time consuming stuff! Car looks fantastic, nice to see them saved and returned to arguably better than new condition!
