Obviously a left hooker please don’t let this put you off, it really doesn’t matter. Drive it for a week you soon forget. It’s still got the looks without none of the rhd Uk rot or African battering and ugly xtras they tend to have.

I’m a professional panel beater sprayer by trade. I done this car just to save it from the oval 🏁🏁 that’s what it was imported over for. As a X banger racer myself , I raced the glory dayz, throughout the 90s hence my love for a Granny. I have nothin’ against it but this car was wayyyyy too good!!
I done absolutely everything on this car myself, Built for the love, no money in it, I wouldn’t have painted it for 10k nevermind everything else.
I also have a complete Essex 3.0 V6 4spd manual to go with it for free if you fancy?
( Will sell £850 once the cars gone) I fancied V6 hence buying it then changed my mind. Same as converting to rhd. I was but decided against it, love it just the way monsieur Mr Ford intended.. All easy enuff to still do if you want. I’ve done all the expensive hard graft.
PLEASE NO MORE TIME WASTERS . You can see what I do with my time 👌🏼
