| Some photos of a few different stages of this car would be nice. I never saw this car when it was stock only with the tickford kit so it would be good to see it's start to finish progress. Lovely car |

out of interest did you ever think about painting the side skirts black to match the front? (the bit where it starts to slop up.)

lol... When I read the first post all I was thinking was... "I know... we all know..."
Then I realised it was like a story...  Good read!

That's easy done mate. You got Sam or Roy's email address? If you drop them a line direct I'm sure they'd jump at the opportunity of AT LEAST putting your car in readers rides (Boys in Blue) if not featuring it.
I emailed them just wanting to get into Boys in Blue and they put forward to possibility of featuring it. I don't want to just yet as there's still too many things I want to do... but yours seems to be in a good place! |

but not the old 19 inch torque rims.. but 20 inch torque rims... with the dish look horn... 225/30/20 up front.. 245/30/20 inch rear... would have loved 255 or even 265 rears..
ive the pics to email street ford/performance fords... just writing/typing the letter is something i will figure out... -could end up being 2-4 pages!... lol |
