I picked up a 4 door Ghia this afternoon! pretty happy with it! but its a manual 5 speed mitsubishi scorpion box and a scorpian diff. The car has a very high ratio, i have never heard of this conversion before i will take some pictures of it all underneath once i get a chance. probably on the weekend! but here are some pics as it is.. i havent cleaned it up or done anything to it yet!

Very good, nice find.
Let me know if you need bits for it. Even have the hockey sticks around the c pillar. Couple oil pumps of yours here.

What you think about, you bring about.

Hi Ty, gee you have been busy in the last couple of weeks! The car looks very tidy mate & will have some punch with that engine! Great to see you back in the classic ford scene!

There's nothing quite like COSSIE POWER!

Hey Ty, in regards to the circle headlight swap - where did you get your lights from? Have my mk2 in pieces right now attempting to do it, but the headlights won't fit into the buckets, bought retaining rings and all, starting to think I got sold the wrong lights... good old eBay haha.
