I think I have the long straight vinyl roof moulds (there are 2 types, one goes around the fuel cap and one goes at the base of the C pillar) I think I have the latter. Engine mounts and a lot of V4 stuff could be found at JB Auto Transit wreckers in Dandenong ring and ask for Joe

the roof trim im after is the one that folows the quarter window trim

as for the mark3 going to wagga, it all depends on if i finish this v4

the mounts are different from the v6 as the motor is 2 cylinders shorter, the engine is very close to the timing cove, the v6 has a cast triangle bracket, bu tthe v4 has a stamped 6mm plate for the bracket.whooli i have a pair of escort mk1 struts, if your keen im in newcastle nsew if your keen for them. pm me if you are.

You could try John at Capri Parts Mob. 0419673327 he had quite a few V4 motors with mounts sitting around 12-18 months ago. While I'm here,if anyone in south east QLD has a spare Rostyle for sale please let me know.

hooligan i have whatching prices in the uk for a 78 model, one in any condition is hard to find thats why i was asking you if you wanted to sell  here's an update on the v4 bought paint, what a pain in the back side to get the orignal colour but here it is and some rust repair panels from rare spare, i went into the newcastle branch in nsw and asked for the panels, they said they didn't do them, i said they did they replyed they didn't. I had to show them on thier computer that they did, why is it so hard some times?

The rare spares screen lock strip is the wrong profile. I have the correct stuff cheaper if you need it.
Also getting some Mk 3 rust repair panels in end of this month for another guy, can email you pictures or you could come to Hornsby and have a gander if you want.
