Nice. Is the "big six" a straight 6 motor ? I remember seeing one in a MK4 in a Heritage Ford magazine.

Had the wheels back today with original XLE hub caps. Had them sprayed to match.

The rims were new from eBay - The hub caps were shipped over from SA and were blue. My good friend Paul took them and respirated them for me. Unfortunately they were too big for the rims so a local garage sorted the rims to take the larger hubs.

Ok Ta. I always prefer standard, they do look better than the alloys, IMO. Nice car.
