Car looks gorgeous!!!! hmm gunna say it ...... not a fan of the wing, wrecks the smoothness of a coupe. But the colour combo is pure horn!!!!!!

fordmfp · 24-08-2009, 07:09 PM

Cheers bluekoop

I really thought long and hard about the wing, I was sitting on the fence but my very patient and generous wife that let me get the coupe said her one stipulation was it had to have a gt wing!! Now that its on i am happy that we did do it as i think it suits it nicely

cob115 · 24-08-2009, 08:47 PM

i love the wing : ) is it a repro fibre glass one?

fordmfp · 24-08-2009, 08:53 PM

Cheers Pat

The car looks fantastic! well done on the hard work. I think the rear spoiler looks good and will look better when the car is complete. Top job. To gcg2503 happy wife = happy life! Can you help out with the math on how to get the happy wife when there is 1 coupe in the equation? Im having trouble getting the math correct.

gcg2503 · 19-09-2009, 10:40 AM

I dont know what brought me more joy in those pics

The coupe itself or the familiar BF Goodrich radial TA tread pattern! That rubber is bringing back my youth

Ozzyosko · 19-09-2009, 11:34 AM

That's looking awesome mate! The wheels look great on it too.

COUPE 72 · 19-09-2009, 12:32 PM

OOOOOOOOOOOO so glossy!

fordmfp · 19-09-2009, 01:05 PM

gcg2503- Yeah mate had to go for the oldskool look bfgs!!

Ozzyosko- Im stoked with the wheels mate i think they really suit the car, Just gotta sack her out a couple of inches now

Coupe72- Not looking to bad so far and its only had the lambswool buff, Still gets another buff yet and then a polish so should look pretty shiny after that!!

Aussie Falcon · 19-09-2009, 11:08 PM

It's looking amazing. Good job so far!

fordmfp · 20-09-2009, 12:43 AM

Cheers mate just gotta get the old girl heaps lower!!

montyv8 · 20-09-2009, 02:45 AM

looks stunning bud

XBCoupeNZ · 20-09-2009, 12:58 PM

That's all I have to say

COUPE 72 · 20-09-2009, 04:54 PM

Wow hard to beleive it could get any better, did ya have to block it back much?

fordmfp · 20-09-2009, 06:06 PM

Ive had someone doing all the panel/paint for me and he has put massive hours into getting the body straight as she was pretty rough when i got it, I think it shows how well he has done it though and im stoked at his work!!

BlueKoop · 20-09-2009, 06:18 PM

what happened to the rims you have in you profile pic? Or is that just photoshop?

Love how subtle the metalic looks in the pics.

fordmfp · 20-09-2009, 07:02 PM

bluekoop- The 20 on the back of the coupe in my avatar is what i had on my AU2 Fairmont v8 and i tried one on the back to see what it would look like. It looked pretty nice i thought, I cant wait to get it out in the sun for some pics it looks amazing in the sunlight!!

fordmfp · 01-10-2009, 01:27 PM

Hi guys

Not much of an update but things are starting to progress just thought id put up a pic of steering wheel before and after with my new one

Looks a bit better i think!!

XBCoupeNZ · 02-10-2009, 06:48 AM

It looks better than the first one - but to be honest, this car deserves a 3 spoke GT type wheel.

Put it on your Xmas list

:

cob115 · 02-10-2009, 06:53 AM

if you ant got a GT wheel the max rob typ wheel 3spoke looks the good n super cheap at swap meets: )its the type mad max has

Geez Louise · 03-10-2009, 12:28 AM

+1 for a 3 spoke type wheel but as you are driving it...it is whatever you feel comfortable with

Koosh351 · 17-10-2009, 07:15 PM

that would definitely make it in to NZV8 dude

fordmfp · 18-10-2009, 05:00 PM

I dont reckon the standard would be high enough for nzv8 but i sure am stoked you think so bud!! Cheers for the comment that really makes it all worthwhile!! I'll get some more pics soon as the gray has been painted around the bottom now and the bumpers,grill etc is back in so she should be finished really soon
