The model is wrong and are those KMD decals?
I made / converted the dashboards for KMD a long time ago

No a problem and didnt think you had, but when i seen it I had to look close at the pics to see the decals.

Eamon had an ex works 3-door sierra years ago and when he had MWM build him the Escort he asked them to do it RHD, they not gonna turn readies down Laughing

Must of changed their minds then as Malcolm said that there would be no RHD cars available, but that was before ford pulled their end out.
I emailed Malcolm asking about a Fiesta with everything bar engine as a friend was pricing up a 2.5 Millington for one
