gcg2503- I will try to mate, Unfortunatly NZ laws say that if a car is reregistered because the plates were dead the car must have a high stop light!! Im friendly with my local warrant place though so hopefully he will let me off!!
Geez Louise- Hell yes i am like a kid a week before Christmas lol

Looks awesome mate - Bet Sunday seems like such a long way away eh
Did you have to revin the coupe? If so - how did it go? Have any hassles at all? Apparently the revin guys here are nazi's - so I'm looking for a place thats fair and honest to have mine revinned (oneday)

Hey bud
Yeah its seems like a year away lol Nah luckily when i bought mine it had aleardy been revinned just needed panel,paint,wheels and interior done, But from what i heard they were pretty picky with it!! They made the guy take the sills off to inspect inside them etc, Pretty over the top really but great for me as it was completley stripped and sandblasted so its free of rust now!! I think so long as you have a engineer keeping an eye on the build and document all the repairs with photos showing you have done it properly you should be sweet

They can't do that legally. A good example of nazi inspectors going beyond their brief and rules set down by the LTSA

Awesome work FordMFP
I have really enjoyed following your build thread If i am not mistaken I can see the reason why you barred the white interior in one of the pictures! Enjoy driving her out on the roads mate |

Video footage is a good idea Col, I'll have to get that sorted!!
Cheers guys im really stokedwith the result, Theres a couple of little blemishes here and there but considering the whole panel/paint job only cost 4g im over the moon!! xbcoupenz- beach hop will definatly be on the list of events!! Col and Pat if you ever come over let me know we can sort accomodation and stuff out over here for ya!! The bonus is the town i live in has a racetrack so if you come over i can let you know when a nzv8 or musclecar meeting is on!!
