Looking really good, looking forward to seeing the finished article. Don't know if I've seen a White 3 litre Ghia but the BVR sets it off a treat. Great work.

Thanks Andy wanted to go for drive tomorrow but weather has beat me so I will give it a miss, never know it maybe dry in March 2016. Still gives me time to change alloys and other bits and bobs.
Andy do you know of a good trimmer for my seats as I want to plump them up, they got no rips at all but just look a little saggy. Wanting somewhere down our neck of the woods.

Have a great Christmas to all

I used them to repair a cigarette burn in my Focus ST, and I know they will undertake Capri seats as I asked them at the time :)

Maybe you can take it to 'Simply Ford' at Beaulieu May 1st? Convoy from Exeter Services 06.00 :lowrider:
