It's a quite early MK 4, AK1029 with 15" rims. It has a short nose but it is no light-weight. It was delivered to germany without engine. The first engine was a 351 Cleaveland (I think). The previous owner replaced it in 2000/2001 by a 351 FoMoCo with GT40 heads. Quite nice:
The car had no accident or something like this. The previous owner drove a lot with the car and it was in a very good technical (except electricity) condition. It has Koni adjustable shock absorber (is this normal?) which allows a fantastic ride.
Nevertheless I wasn't happy with the look. The paint has a lot of spiders (is this the correct word?) and the interior was repainted (also the leather) from red to black. So there a three major works:
1) new paint
2) new electricity
3) new interior (including dashboard)
Here is a picture from behind the dashboard. I guess you know what I mean:
Since the body has to be painted it is a good time for some modifications of the body. I would like to close the side rear lamps and the side front turn lights. The tank cap holder doesn't exist. The cap was hold by the hose to the tank:
The harnesses are quite ugly. I never saw this kind of mounting in another MK IV:
And there are a lot of small thing I would like to do. For example the first owner replaced the hood handle by some kind of quick mechanism. Now, I try to restore the original hood handle. So going from this:
