Everyone thanks for the positive feedback ! Great to hear that some people like it on the other side of the world 
@Kali: The netherlands isnt that big, cant live more than a two hour drive from each other
@cmanf You mean the black rubber on the carb hat wich connect the intake pipe ?
Dont know if it is possible to find one over there, its from an opel (GM) with a 2.0 16V engine (exact the right size) engine code is: C20XE
Kadett, vectra, calibra, astra had that engine (its the intake hose on the throtlebodie)

wow that car is coming out beautifully... how did you get such a nice fitting rear bumper? On my car and nearly every mustang I've seen it sticked out a couple centimeters on both sides. Did you chop the bumper and re-chrome it? or did you just luck out? haha
congrats on the car show win! those are some nice prizes too... not bad for your first show, with the car not even completely finished

Hello Dutch 65 I just found this thread today. I've really enjoyed going through it. Your Mustang is awesome!!!! The fit and finish a lot of us American boys will never match. Wheels, colors, and so many other things on a restored car are a matter of personal taste. The quality of your work can not be denied. My hat is off to you!!!!
