Looks very nice Mark
How are you finding the ride with the GMAX springs and standard shocks ?
Looks very low at the rear

It's settled a bit now I had just collected a 1.8 Zetec and Gearbox when those pictures were taken, but even normally it does sit ever so slightly lower at the back. The springs are for a Zetec, though, and this is a 1.4.
Ride is great on the springs, perfectly comfortable. Ideal for my G/F as she doesn't push the car. I do drive it now and then and it's still reasonably competent, but the standard Ford damping (these are brand new) is very much on the conservative side.

Re: My Ghia Project - Finished Pictures
Looks really nice! Almost makes me want to tidy up my 5 door run around. Just wish it had a bigger engine in it to make it worth spending on
I agree with Max, though... Really feel like the door handles should be unpainted/black. Seems like there's a little 'too' much white on the sides

Re: My Ghia Project - Finished Pictures
I'm looking for a Turbo spoiler to balance it out. It should have chrome strips really, and colour coded parts as standard. Ford skimped on the Mk3.5's

Re: My Ghia Project - Finished Pictures
Great interior and at least this one has the correct dash.
I presume they are Mk4 mats? I need some decent mats for mine but hate the Mk4 logo.
