Ended up deciding on the koya's I think the gunmetal and nice polished lip will suit it perfectly 👍

Wow coming along nice.
 
Saw a brand new Mondeo in Ruby Red, in the sun it looked fantastic, very keen to see your Escort when its finished.

If the rest of your interior comes up as good as your door cards it will be very spiffy and a great match to all the excellent work on the exterior and wheels. Don't be stingy with the pics!.
Cheers,
Len

cheers 🍻 Len I am lucky to have a mint interior except for a slight cracked dash top which I might just get covered, I am hopefully getting the woodgrain dash custom made in either red jarrah or honey oak just looking at finding a beautiful Australian wood with a nice grain to replace the original one as it's ugly
