I bought my car in October 2006 as a stock Futura and have not stopped working on it since. It is a VERY regretful sale but I've just purchased an old XW and am saving for a house so really can't justify two 'weekend cars'
Featured in Issue 77 of Street Fords magazine.
Car is not perfect as it is and has always been my daily driver. It's certainly not a show car but it scrubs up great.
I have displayed shows and always gets good attention.
I have photographs of all modifications as well as a Build Thread which can be seen on Fordmods: http://www.fordmods.com/the-garage-f53/mongoose-s-ride-street-fords-feature-on-page-50-t48225.html
Inspection of vehicle is essential.
