mk4savage 57 Posted April 24 Nice. Is the "big six" a straight 6 motor ? I remember seeing one in a MK4 in a Heritage Ford magazine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimB 70 Posted April 24 Ok Ta. I always prefer standard, they do look better than the alloys, IMO. Nice car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
