Hi the grill is custom made by myself. And is based upon the original grill, it did not take too long once i could be bothered to do it! As for the seats, that is what i wanted but as someone said thety will not fit a 3 door. i did think about doing a swap of the covers but considfered it too much work!!

Perhaps we should call this car a 350GLT as it is neither a 340 nor a 360?

Well it's definitely not a 240 :-P

I think 340 GLT is just fine...although fitting the GLT suspension would be good!

cheers

Foggy, one of the front struts collapsed not so long ago and so that is exactly what i did! 360 GLT front struts! You can tell the difference by looking at where they mount into the body! The lower engined cars had a rounded triangular bushing, if that makes sense? Well i think thats how it goes!

If you tell us how you went about uploading them, then yes we can.

Was that car on ebay a while ago? It looks mighty familar. Looks good, although it's rather hard to tell from the pics.

cheers

it looks very special - think someone really went thru the option list with it - has it got anything you'd considered rare that we might not have spotted?

Ah, so it is the car from Cornwall! Glad someone bought it.

The first step is to determine why they've got so small. Were they from scans, or a digicam? I'm presuming that either (if they were scans) the scanning software processed them at a very low resolution, or at some point some piece of software has produced thumbnails of the originals, and these are the thumbnails.

cheers

The full size pictures are now in the "new looking" picture gallery :P I think it's much better now... (press F5 or refresh to see the changes!) BUT there's still one thing to do (as Steve said), it's to remove the unpractical pic with the folder when we go back to the index... Text would be better...
