Small pre Xmas update

The fuel tank and lines are now removed along with the full wiring loom/ecu. Tank even had Ł15 of petrol still in it which went straight inthe trusty Vectra

Next step is to take it to Adrenaline on the 5th January so Danny can work his magic

The spending has begun


Decided to start getting a few things

Firstly finally made the choice of Ford Racing arches or the SportKa arches. For the more subtle 'factory' look iI'm going for the SportKa ones. Ordered the arches, bumpers lights, grills and all the clips via friend at Ford. Cheers Dave

Will look like this

To continue the 'factory' look got a set of 17inch Fiesta ST alloys off ebay

Name:  FiestaSTalloys.jpg
Views: 830

Next was a visit to Pf classifieds


Mountune big wing baffled sump

36-1 Small turbo crank pulley

Brand new 2wd Mongoose to cut and shut to fit

Ben, the pedal box is available via Nuts RuS on here Its only a Compbrake item @ about Ł250 but beats paying Ł1000+ for an AP or Tilton one
