1972 Ford Mustang Resto

[351Mustang1972]

Hi guys, new to this forum so thought I would let you all know what I'm up to:D
I have a 1972 Mustang Mach1 running a 351 Cleveland 2V. Been at this resto, ( or should I say RUSTO), for 8 YEARS due to work commitments, family etc and it was always meant to be a hobby anyway but should be finished this year ready for show season 2009.
I am on the Classic Mustangs forum and also a member of Stirling Classic car club so all pic's are on their respective sites, if you dont mind rather than uploading them all i'll post a link to their sites.

hey man, quality work there. http://www.auburnfootball.com/GIFS/yes_sir.gif

i notice with interest you had a pair of doors shipped in from the states.

my cougar could really use a pair of doors, i can find the doors ok, but i'm having difficulty getting someone to ship em !!

can you tell me which shipping company you used, and, if you don't mind, how much it cost.

had varous estimates, ranging from the extreme, to the laughable !! http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/6236/shockedsmileyzn3.gif

cheers, look forward to seeing the car soon.

Thanks for the comments, Shipping was done by a friend of Javed, GT350 on the Mustang site and possibly on here.
The guy is called Steve, he lives in southern California and has a business in England, check link below.

Now he did the doors for me for £100 which was really good due to the size but I sourced them privately and got them delivered to him in Ramona California at a cost of another £50.
This is his e-mail address : smason@sv-mail.com
so either phone the company down south which his sister runs or drop him an e-mail for a costing. He doesn't reply right away as he's a busy man over there so be patient.

Hope this helps
