Little has been done
We first attempted the head lining
Thought we had done great until came time to glue around map light.
Every thing well glued we found that to stretch the lining back was impossible with out releasing glued areas from the door jam area. Did so in damaging the fabric a little.
Then tried holding it into position with light fitting till glue dries .
Cracked the light in two.
Laughing about it now at the time very upset. Linning has been removed and now going with white to keep original looking.
Wasn’t able to send a picture of what has Been done.
Rear of the car has been fitted with its original re chromed bumper bar all it’s lights key lock trims etc
Only thing not done is it’s Ford Capri and gt badge
I’ll try send a picture later in the day

Still no luck in being able to send pictures of further work we have done.
Crossmember brake booster and front bumper bar.
Dad came across some guy today.
Said there was a small Ford car show next month in Canberra.
Not sure if Mum and I are able to take it out as an finished project.
She will do her best find out if we’re allowed to take it.

Looks good Reeni.
Keep it hidden away until complete, then you can stun everybody when its done.
Enjoy the fun part of putting it back together.
