Yes mate, it only came out the bodyshop 12 hours before the show so we didn't have time to sort it which was a bit of a pain but it's had a polish but needs another going over before it's perfect.

Slight Update on the engine side of things

Visit to MotorSport Developements turned out to be good and bad, well more good than bad

According to the guy's down there the block seems a solid/reliable build and was producing good power for the standard boost and produced good power.

The issues with the car to start with were:

various air leaks which were sorted, needed a new rotor arm, cps lead/sensor, fuel regulator & actuator. After all this was fitted they were still struggling to find the target of 26psi peak and were only able to retrieve 21psi peak holding 17psi. This is suspected to be caused by cracks around the wastegate penny so i've got two options:

1) find a decent replacement exhaust housing .48 .55 or .63
2) wait until the end of summer and fund a roller bearing T34

Another other issue was the fuel pump voltage had dropped slightly so they advised the car be kept under 6k until that was sorted, and a new o ring kit fitted then back for the changes.

I haven't got a clue what sort of power it's producing but the spec is Standard rebuilt block, T34 .48, Pace 500, 803, 3 bar, mongoose and 21psi

The bumper moulding, i only needed one for the rear and i used this company

http://www.rubbertrim.co.uk/body_mouldings.htm

H9020 Ford Style bumper insert. 12mm wide (i had to put a strip of double sided adhesive tape underneath to give it some depth.

Cost £24.10 inc postage

Right i've been playing around with the interior, i completely stripped it out, cleaned and replaced along with a few other new parts.

The seat is the drivers position is my spare passenger seat thats in near concours condition, the drivers seat is stored away to keep mint.

The steering wheel that came out of the car had tatty leather so i've replaced with my new 3 spoke RS wheel

The standard head unit has been replaced with a nice new Ipod ready JVC unit and a set of new rsoc mats to keep the carpet in mint condition.







A few more of the car with more cleaning under the bonnet and the outside, the paint on the car isn't perfect and it's going back for another polish but i had to remove the first lot of swirl marks from the first polish, i hate cleaning/polishing cars it's too time consuming.
