I could be wrong, lol.
I recall him having a chat with John about it, John asking him if there were tags under the seat, etc.
The fastback with the red pin striping on the wheels certainly looks good. I will let the colour grow on me. A GT was the goal, but this will do for now. Might just add GT features to it
get one from a ford territory; used it the other day on a mustang, and the load capacity of a territory jack is more than enough for a mustang. Similar size too.
Saw this car earlier today and it presents very well inside and out. Owner is a former Chev (can we write that here) owner but he has seen the light ;-)
Catch up for a coffee later this week.

Well, after nearly 7 weeks, i have finally won my battle with our rego officials, and they have agreed to accept the transfer of my mustang into my name. I am now the "official" owner of my car.
If only my battle was that easy.
Bought a RHD mustang with engineering report, car was currently registered, but needed to transfer it into my name. To do that, had to put it over the pits. To my surprise they did not have a copy of the engineering report on file, nor any record they had actually seen it, but somehow the car was registered. They can't explain what happened, except to say they must have made an administrative error when it was first registered.
So, the solution to them was for me to get a brand new engineering report at my expense, even though i could provide them with a copy of the one from 5 years ago which was still current. I said no, we then battled for a month or so, before it got escalated and it was agreed that the engineer provide a new front page of the engineering report to say it was the car what was originally engineered, and that no other mods had been made. I thought it was going to cost me nothing, but $350 later i have a new front page on the report.
Final visit to rego today, and all went through fine, just a bit lighter in the wallet, ok, a lot lighter in the wallet but at least i now own it. I feel sorry for all the other owners who have these battles with authorities, i now know how you feel.
Have a long list of things to do to her now, will start acquiring bits and pieces, first a good set of Kelsey hayes 4 piston brakes for the front to help her pull up well, just have to work out how to fit the booster next to the clutch master cylinder or run with a remote booster.
Thanks for the support guys, without all the comments and help, I wouldn't be where I am

I have the reverse problem, couldn't fit a clutch master near the massive booster, will be putting in a Mal Wood clutch MC which is attached to the pedal box.
