Not a Mopar , but a sort of Euro Charger

Got front and rear valances to fit, both rear wheel arches, sill work and rear drop off's ,
My wife bless her thought it was a Charger, ive sorted some therapy so hopefully she'l recover

Love these
I spent a lot of time in France and Germany as a lad and these were a refreshing antidote to our Cortinas. Looking forward to seeing the thread develop.

i had one of those years ago. i put a v6 in it and slammed it to the floor with 2.8 capri wheels squeezed under the arches. also adapted an xr3i interior into it.
strange combo of mk3 and mk4 styling but a good looking car imo.
neil.

Re: latest project, 71 Taunus fastback
I do like these now, I didn't in the past. Don't know why?
Before I dug into my mk3 tina, I looked to see if I could find a RHD saloon 2 door but alas no.
Are you keeping it standard?
Nice colour fern green

Re: latest project, 71 Taunus fastback
I always kinda liked these, and the Opel Commodore Coupe from around the same period. This should be easier to get parts for though....

Re: latest project, 71 Taunus fastback
Apologise for neglecting this thread, i'l put some more pics up tomorrow, almost done the rear metal work, got pulled off the job, as a couple of our buss'es had big damage as soon as the kids went back to school, our drivers must have forgotten how to drive while on furlough!

Re: latest project, 71 Taunus fastback
I saw this Taunus a couple of years ago at my local(ish) Alfa garage, owned by one of the guys there. Never seen one like this - I thought they were all Cortina-variants!

Re: latest project, 71 Taunus fastback
Those early cars were damn ugly. it was only when the mk3 cortina versions came out they were atractive
