Default Reyland Mondeo rebuild .. Small update pg4

Thought it was about time I started a resto thread on my Cosworth powered Mondeo.... Cosmo! As some might remember the car got rolled at Bedford Autodrome in 2002, so five years on the rebuild starts..

Cool!
Good to see it again!
Same colour scheme?
When you did it the first time, did you use the 4wd shell just swap the running gear, or convert a standard one with saph/escos floorpan?
Can't wait to see it back in action!
Thanks, James

It's a std Mondeo shell, I'm sure the 4x4 version is not that much different anyway. Everything is fabricated, no Sierra fllorpan here
