End of evening 2, here's some pics of wot she looks like now.
Think i'll be plating and skimming the rear wiper and boot lock
Just needs a good clean and she will be ready for prep work.

just used a pressure washer and a mix of petrol / diesel adn it came up like new As far as I know, u can get the stickers from most graphic places, if you dont wanna use ebay, then look in the back or Performance Ford or Fast Ford, if i remeber correctly theres a couple of people who advertise them in there.
