Slowly going back together.
15/10 Simmons Wheels on the back.



I think it also has the new white upholstery fitted.

It now has the upholstery fitted.


All new white seat trims


It has come a long way, all rust cut out resprayed and retrimed.
Factory Wild Violet and White trim are certainly eye catching.

Looks great! Job well done!

Did the Wild Violet coupes come with a white interior? I have never seen one with a different colour combo. Just curious...

They came with parchment, saddle, black or white trim from factory

never saw one with the optional red or blue trim though (well it isnt really red more like burgundy actually!)

Edit: great looking car jallopy - white trim definitely works with wild violet thats for sure

Parchment with Mcleod Horn Stripes

Hiya Jallopy, Awesome work on the car!

How did you go about sourcing the GT vent inserts for the front fenders? Did you fabricate those or are they replica steel parts that you can buy somewhere?
Either way I want want want!!!

Cheers!

Yes the weld in vent inerts are available from most shops that sell replica parts for old Fords eg rare spares.

The quality of these are below average but nothing a good panelbeater cant quickly rectify to get the bolt in vent combs to sit in the cut out a little better if you so desire.
