Great ute I have my eye on one , your calling it a Bakkie did come from South Africa or is it a P100 from the UK. Or is it one of the ones brought in by Ford Aust for evaluation?

Hi all ..
Yes I am from South Africa .. And yes it's a 5.7 L . V8 .

Still origanal .. never been sprayed over at all . Ok is orginal boddy wise but the engine is not.

But thats why I did not post a pic of the engine .. because I am scared you guys will not be so happy when you see it ...  - its got a 350 chevy + 292 diff + 600 holly + T5 gearbox " upgrade"  and 57 mm free flow and custum build branched for it .

I will post a pic of the engine on a later stages .
regards

Hi FOR-CHE
You may be able to answer a qustion for me. Many years ago I was pulling parts of a Soth African Mk5/TF Cortina in a wreckers it was a Ghia and had a small CORTINA badge on the glovebox lid was this standard as no one I ask can help.
