lovely car! IMO the best looking UK-market Ford there is. What are your plans with it? If it were mine I'd find alternative rims and add mo' slam, but that's just me. And I'm a bit simple.
Brilliant piece, though.

Cool car. Looks a bit like a miniature Cadillac from the rear. I bet it really scoots with the V6 fitted.
+1 on finding some more period correct rolling stock.

Currently driving a 1972 BMW 1602 as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

Such a great design. I think I'd like to see it with a factory bumper back on and a different size and style of wheel - Lotus rims would be a safe bet, but a set of modern rims like Nightmare's 'Tina Estate would suit the paint and interior more than your current ones. That all sounds a bit negative though...I'd happily be seen out in that just as it is! |

Rob, the pics will be up of the 'other' vehicle shortly -
Right everyone - let's get something straight - I HATE THE WHEELS!
The problem I have is that the car has had Mk 3 Capri running gear fitted, therefore the back
axle is a fair bit wider, and any attempt to put a decent rwd rim on results in wheelarch contact. Even with some Peugeot steels on the tyres are rubbing the arches, but I may well get them rolled. The car used to sit on Mondeo ST24 16" rims, but I told my mate that I bought it off to keep them as they weren't to my taste, so it came on grubby 14" Mondeo steels. I'm proper over the superlite thing (plus they would be lacking in any rimmage) so I've just landed a set of 15" revo 5 spokes on a sierra offset, with be trying these on over the next few weeks before I give them a refurb.
Oh, and I also hate the lack of front bumper also, the hunt is on.

I'm sure you're probably aware of this one, but, if not it also has Mk3 Capri axles and runs Pug 205/309 gti rims.   |
