THanks Jamie . Dash original in adelaide very happy with them .These guys really know their stuff. The cards came for a drive to adelaide with me a few weeks ago . Not a massive fan of the saddle colour but hey its on the plate so thats what it is . but its growing on me. Xy falcon colour. Im going to run black carpet tho and get the seats retrimmed in saddle as well at some stage. Next lttle project is new brake lines and fuel lines. Fingers crossed I can get it squeezed into paint shop b4 xmas.

Correct carpet colour is Ginger which I can help you out with, but if you you want to go black I can help too. There is a bit of a choice with carpet as there is a rayon loop available now very close to factory original, also the heel mats have a wide range too, PM me if you want to get it right the first time

Hi Matte now that ive had time to think about it I put my vote in for the ginger carpet instead of black. I think a blend rather than a contrast will look better, it will also visualy tie the front seats to the rear ones. Ginger probably should be the dominant color here and the ginger carpet will allow that. Anyway, food for thought.

Door cards ready to go in once I've finalised carpet which about to order .side glass us ready to go just waiting on some warm weather. Seats need to be sorted as far as seat mounts . The way I'm going will be driving to all Ford day on milk crates. So lots still to do . Oh redo shifter assembly properly and fix a broken linkage. I have a diary that I'm using to keep track off the jobs in hand broken up into 3 groups elect.Mecha body and a shopping list . This helps me sleep at night . That's it for now , I haven't done any pics for a while as that takes time . Cheers
