Looking good FordMFP

Question: Will you lose the extra brake light on the rear window? ;)

Geez Louise · 20-10-2009, 03:09 PM

Sunday...bet ya cant wait!

fordmfp · 20-10-2009, 03:41 PM

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

Neeek · 20-10-2009, 07:26 PM

Stunning build - just stunning. I'm dribbling...

XA_GT351 · 20-10-2009, 11:22 PM

mate the coupe looks stunning, love the wheels, awesome job

fordmfp · 21-10-2009, 06:05 AM

Neeek - Cheers mate, I just read your build thread and your wagon is mean!!

XA_GT351 - Thanks bud, To get a comment like that from someone with such a beautiful XA is Awesome!! Your car is fantastic and i have been watching your build thread in awe!!!!!

XBCoupeNZ · 21-10-2009, 09:53 AM

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)

fordmfp · 21-10-2009, 10:39 AM

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

gcg2503 · 04-11-2009, 08:10 PM

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

Geez Louise · 04-11-2009, 08:12 PM

Fantastic Dwayne

Far out that looks beautiful!!

Time to change your avatar my friend

fordmfp · 04-11-2009, 08:36 PM

gcg2503 lol yep thats my little whipper snappers!! They can change the colour of there clothes in less than an hour so god knows what damage the would have done to white interior!!

Well I know our cars are heavenly to drive Pat..but they won't drive on water...

I am up for a trip to New Zealand...just let us know when...sure we can arrange something

fordmfp · 05-11-2009, 05:52 AM

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!!

Snake Bite · 05-11-2009, 09:40 AM

XBCoupeNZ · 05-11-2009, 10:00 AM

Just been having another perve at your car mate - that interior is just beautiful. I WANT IT!!!

Kudos to the guy who did it.

fordmfp · 05-11-2009, 01:29 PM

The photos look better than what it is mate, I did everything but the front seats which im not 100% happy with so i will respray them to better match the back seat until i can save up for a full retrim!!

fordmfp · 01-06-2010, 05:55 AM
