Cav,
take those mounting screws out of the ASP unit, and replace them with stainless...
..you wouldn't want to lose it when the screws corrode!!!

Shouldn't have cheaped out. We all know by know if you had at brock polariser none of this would have happened, they give mystical power and handling properties, they stop you ageing, and make you even more attractive. Or something like that. The strut ball thingys are easy to change. The ones on my boat rusted through and a couple from a ba falcon boot were a straight swap and the wrecker gifted them. Geckos are evil.

Never seen Cav from the waist down?

Seriously though, if it's possible to swap the passenger seat base with the driver's seat - I'm certainly interested! My driver's seat was "delivered" by the dealer with a small tear on the PVC side wall, which I didn't notice for a week, which has only grown in size over 7 years (FGII) and hiding the patch work I did recently in between the centre console would be a breakthrough for me in my opinion.



No-one sits in my passenger seat. I'd like to toss this mattress! (Not showing my side-wall shame in this pic.)

It’s common with the Howe leather it shrinks and does all sorts of stuff my LTD was the same until I modded the base to tighten the leather.

Sensational vehicle you have their Cavasaurus.
I have one just like it, picked it up cheap, almost stole it actually.

If you lived locally in a decent part of the world we could go cruising together and pick up chics...

BTW, if you ask me really nice I'll show you a pic.

Headlight surround is black, but I have a few timber ones if I want to pimp it up.

I got no hubcaps, and you got me excited until you said you have 3? WTF will I do with 3?
I spose I can park it against a wall, and only photograph it from one side.
I put the small Ford caps on which regular peasant wheels have, looks ok actually.

Fordomatic wants to buy it, I said he can have it for $16,000, silly bugger said it was too much, dunno what he's smoking...

I am only pretending to be full of **** to make you feel at home.

BTW, mine has less k's than yours, and there's no dents in the bonnet from running over chairs...
