It is finished and the owner could not have done a better job. The rear end has been tidied up to look like some of the other Ghia coupes which were neater in the nether-regions but at the same time it still looks, feels and drives like a period car (Cobra). It's now perfectly driveable and tractable on the road thanks to some intelligent mods plus the removal of the bent wishbone which went a long way to explaining the 'odd' handling that so many professional and skilled journalists and 'mechanics' missed. Duh. It also looks 100% better for having a proper 427 dash rather than the god-awful botched thing that some misguided soul nailed in before.
I've crawled all over the car and been for a long drive and I can't find a single thing to criticise - love it! It will remain with its very happy owner for a long time I feel, and quite right too since he spent many hours getting it just right; even better he has the right attitude towards the car and it will be driven!! It's finally with the owner it needed. Lucky guy.
