Very nice Laurie, looks fantastic.

Is the centre console a Twin Cam one?

Cam,
The console came out of a MK 1 Capri. I shortened it and had it covered in vinyl. The plastic wood cutouts were ditched in favor of a couple of stainless steel inlays to match the dial surrounds. A twin cam console would not fit because of the 5 speed and it would be sacriligous to cut one to fit.

I do like the ride height of your car. Seems to sit very well.

Great job looks excellent.

Very tidy mk1 you have there Laurie. I now recognise this car from a few years back when it had the rectangle headlights. I found a few pics on my computer that I had saved of it at a show when I was back in NZ.
Out of interest, what offset are the mags ? Are they a factory order or a custom set up ?
Thanks

Aaron,
There was no skill or knowledge involved when it came to ordering the wheels. I just walked into the dealer and asked for Simmons OM style rims 15 x 7 in Twin Cam Escort offset. I do not even know what that is.[:u]

I try to keep the mods to a minimum for 3 reasons,

1/ Money
2/ Wife(Who holds purse strings for reason 1)
3/ Try to keep a good looking car resemble what it looked like when it was conceived. Not to many mods that make it look too futuristic.
