rigpig Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Very nice car, still see them on forecourts here for 2800 Euros! Wife is finally learning to drive so I´m thinking of buying her one from the UK and bringing it over which means I´ll get to mod it and drive it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Like this a lot...apart from the bonnet. Oh, and get a badge on the grill! Nice car though, looks in good shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, bonnet was always going to be a marmite thing. I like it, but reckon it does look better standard. Just like the fact it's different TBH (and im proud to be a junglist) Regarding grill badge, it's slightly smaller than your normal Ford grill badges. I chucked mine away when i sprayed grill as it was faded and dirty, only to find all the Ford badges in my yard are bigger. I plan to get my mate is airbrush/paint Ford on there Thanks for the comments mate, i plan to get up the Dick Turpin soon Very nice car, still see them on forecourts here for 2800 Euros! Wife is finally learning to drive so I´m thinking of buying her one from the UK and bringing it over which means I´ll get to mod it and drive it :-) Nice, wish they made that here! I'd be tempted to break mine for spares rather than sell complete. Be a real shame but just won't make the money complete IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I THINK the badge on the Ghia chrome grill might be the same size. I might be wrong though. I think some of the rear Mondeo ones work too, perhaps off the Ghia or something similar. I had an RS grill that was missing its badge and think I found one on a certain Mondeo model that fitted.

TC-DNB Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Small update... Finally fitted a Ford badge on my RS grill. Thanks to massivewangers for the heads up with badge sizes. I have also removed the graffiti bonnet (originally to keep nice over winter and give it a good lacquer - however a new project has cropped up so I've decided to sell the cabby). I will keep the bonnet in my garage/gym as art, or sell if anyone would like it? So yeah, it's gonna be sad to see the cabby go but I'm hoping someone on here buys it so it goes to a good home. I wouldn't want to break it but there's lots of parts on there! She's definately too good for stripping down and weighing in. Open to offers BTW so feel free to PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
