Good work! Tell us more on what you have done for the engine, suspension etc...

The body seems to be in decent shape although I feel like there's a lot more to be done. Was the paint job done recently? I see a bit of rust under the front valance and the right fender.

Also, what's up with the missing grille?

[Schiffer]

Sweet~ Love what you have done with the interior

dude do post pics of the restoration process and earlier pics.

Its Original 1300 Engine...decent power + decent economy

Nice work mate, not a fan of those wheels though as I mentioned on Facebook. the seats are a score and the engine bay looks very very tidy!

What are your plans for the future? I'd love to see it lowered a bit.

The rears should be easy enough with a set of lowering blocks. Similarnames found a tein coil over conversion kit somewhere fairly cheap. Have a look at his Capri build and you can get an idea. I imported a kit from Burton Power and they list a wide range of springs for old fords. But I don't think it's the most cost effective way to go.
