Another set of cheap goodies arrive. And I fitted the new boot badge today.







The grill one is a different story, it is a little smaller than the factory one. So I need to finess it a little before fitment. I have a few ideas, but waiting for the supplier to send me something.

Hehehehe.... You will find the grill one a few mm smaller than it should be. And the boot one is a little large for the plug cover. Assuming you have the same supplier. I know he does red as well.

Same supplier, but neither of mine have the circles around it.

Mine rear doesn't matter in size and front doesn't either

Then the rear badge place on rocker cover

This chapter is now closed. There were many reasons to let it go, and I am sad and yet happy to be at this stage. I was never in a position to have a car that turned heads, and ever since I was licenced to drive, I envied those I knew, that had the money to spend on XB GT's and such which were only a few years old at the time. So when the chance to grab this car came along I took the plunge and set out to achieve what I had always wanted. A car that was able to win an award. Done!! At Adelaide this year. A car that was quick. Done! A documented 12.6 @ 114mph.

Now I am going to concentrate on paying my house off, and doing some things that have been neglected at home. For now, I will take my time and see what transpires. As I have said in my first post of this thread, my T was my first Ford. And it won't be my last. I thank all of the good folk involved in the build.

I know... But I have a philosophy on how to deal with the loss. I'm out 30k over 3 years and have enjoyed every minute. Some spend that in holidays over the same time frame and get 3 months of enjoyment.

Well. I guess 1 year on since my last post.... Hello all... Seems I have fell off the face of the earth. I hope you all are doing well. I myself, well I am getting by. I wish you all well in the future... Our paths may cross one day.

Big Kev.
