    Well it's a while now since the Alpha car came home and I've been slowly putting it back together to original standard. I have one job left to do (replace complete exhaust system) before she goes to the Sydney AFD at end of next month for her first "showing" on the east coast.

    The list of jobs ended up quite extensive really for what was supposedly a "pristine" car. None the less I have really enjoyed putting it back to factory-original state. Luckily I had everything on hand in my own spare parts bin to do the jobs. Only three of the parts I required are available from Ford anyhow as I checked for them all - only the parts that are on stock AUs.

    So here's what has been done ...

    Mobil 1 decal missing off engine cover

    Engine cover paint damage from improperly fitted bonnet insulator

    Engine decal missing off bonnet

    Fuel decal missing off bonnet

    Datadot decal missing N/S/R window

    Overspray on O/S lower driving light

    O/S driving light mount loose/broken & N/S one loose

    O/S/F inner guard plastic cover broken

    N/S guard extender damaged; broken at rivet

    Valve caps missing - all five

    Leather pouch for locking wheel nut socket missing

    Carpet mat retainers missing driver's side

    N/S A-pillar cover scratched/marked

    Steering wheel marked

    Driver's door blue leather trim marked

    Passenger seat adjuster N/W - retainer clip missing

    Backlights partially N/W on stereo head unit

    C/C unit display intermittent

    Boot cargo net missing

    Jack missing

    Spare wheel flat

    Rear bar lower insert not fitted

    Australian Muscle Car ... "It is a sensational high performance vehicle; a beautifully engineered and immensely capable four door Grand Tourer or 'GT' in the truest sense of that tradition."

    No prize for guessing what car they were referring to ... OWN THE ROAD ...
