Yes Ford Explorers are everywhere here. One of the most popular SUV's. I'm sure the restoration on the scooter has got to be a little easier than a mustang.

Wow, looks awesome, great job bringing her back from the dead. I hate to see so many of these cars just trashed and sent to the bone yard.

Just put the wheels under it ! They arrived this morning ! Mounted the tires this afternoon and put them under (it was dark but i had to see it under the car).

Remember the car is alot higher now (stil out of his springs because i jacked it up) And i'm going to lower it till the top side of the wheels are in line of the fenders.

Its been a while since the last update, was busy... moving etc..

But had some time for the car and its coming along nice now ! At the moment we are installing a Paxton supercharger with a upgraded impeller and a Demon blow thru carb setup.













Interior isnt finished need some more trim and cleaning. Also the outside need some moldings and some minor things.

That's low how are you going to manage with millions of speed bumps in this country?

Great looking car. Love the color combination and the wheels and stance really set it off. That's one cool bike you have there. I'll have to go check out Barber's before the 45th to see if they have any of those in the collection. There is a museum there of bikes and cars of some very nice vintage.

Love what you're doing to the car. It would be unique and awesome in the states much less over seas. How do you handle the speed bumps over there with it sitting that low?

thanks for the reply's, speedbumps arent easy, but i dont drive the car that much (as a daily ride it would be anoying to drive that low!)

@69FB: drive slowly over the speedbumps, and crossing them in a zig zag way (not straight) then it isnt that much of a problem !
