    It also has one of 2 x twin fronts that in my opinion look good ie HJ Statesman. The other is with a HJ GTS grille. I'm not a fan of HX or HZ grilles, although the HZ Sandman probably has the nicest twin nose of any HX/HZ.

    why don't you paint both nosecones and rad supports + a few extra nuts and bolts and hang the single up up in the shed?

    nice colour, not sure if there is a pick of a good one in that colour anywhere?

    Is it actually royal plum? I had an LX hatch in royal plum and it looked nothing like that?

    I also just noticed the 3.08:1 diff. Very uncommon behind 253 4spd in HX, normally they are 3.55:1.

    found royal plum metalic i think DX5 would possibly be the decal to match when painted .Colour at moment looks like a 90s ford colour.
