Well here it is finished...

I picked it up from Richard Ward's shop near Manchester on Friday and drove it home to Hayling Island, then on Sunday went out for the day shopping and to the pub. It drives very well.

I haven't taken any pic's of the interior yet. The interior is all new black, completely stock appearing. The gearlever looks like an original shifter but it fits the new WC T5 5 speed overdrive box. The radio is period looking with modern internals. I like the interior to look correct.

I believe the EFI conversion is the way to go to upgrade a Classic Mustang. Turn the ignition on, the fuel pump pressurises the system. Turn the key and it starts like a modern car, the computer handles everything.

I just love it.

Actually agree with that.

Really nice to see a Ford turned into something worth having. Very nice and very cool car.
