Front window deflectors Thanks for looking, all criticism welcome good and bad If anyone fancies making me a sig it would be much appreciated, Cheers!

JC Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 They are very rare those steering wheels Are you keeping the red interior? Looks tidy and well looked after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan87 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 I think im going to sell the whole walnut package, as for the interior it looks a bit bright on the photos and i was a bit wary but when i saw it its really grown on me so it will be staying put Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo2000 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow! It's been a long time since we've see that, still looking mega clean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The wood bits are bad, but I like it otherwise. Think I might go back to one tailpipe, but nice otherwise. Wheels and lights look good on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan87 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow! It's been a long time since we've see that, still looking mega clean! I only realised it was a previous members last night when i looked at the mod of the moment section with the twin exhaust post, dug a little deeper and found it, would love to speak to him about it but looks like he lives in spain now..... When I got it it had full walnut accessories and gaiters which most of are now gone, there was a chrome rear plate surround which has gone, and the badges on the back are gone, was a bit too much chrome on the rear for my liking But i got loads of history with it and receipts, its hpi clear and the mileage of 88k is fully genuine too so im really happy with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC-DNB Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Well nice! I miss my old red 'scort! Glad to hear you're getting rid of the walnut. I've got a Ghia Cabriolet and no wood efffect left anymore. Looks 100x better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan87 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 I bought it from a guy called John about 20 miles from Santa pod, the car now lives in Blackpool, Is there anything you can tell me about the car that you can remember your dad having done? I'm trying to find out who and where the leather was done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
