little update, havnt really done much due to xmas so close
but all little things help aswell lol
rear wiper in and all connected up, tailgate is finished now, just need to get the cover
managed to get some boot stops, so adjusted these and fitted new screws
lower spolier fitted, i siliconed the around the wholes just incase any water gets through
found a grommit for the rear screen wire
boot floor painted, i may cut the panel out on the rigght and use some rivinuts, so i can have a bolt on panel so its easier access to the fuel pump if ever needed, im unsre yet
needed a heater box as mine was broke, these things are so hard to get its unreal, i paid a lot of money for this lol, but didnt mind as it need it and its in full working order
been to ford a few times and got some clips and bolts
what bolts i couldnt get i went to a local place who supply a lot of manufacturers, they could match almost every bolt for the rear beam, bar the inner or outer ones which s a shame, luckily i have my ones off the sierra that have covered 4k, so ill send these to the chrome platers and have all the bolts chromed aswell as washers etc
also in the pic is a pair of late spec mirrors as i hate the big chunky things lol
car cover for when its all built
i brought my bumpers and sideskirts in the house to stop the bad weather getting on them whale tail in attic lol
all my powdercoated stuff still in bubble wrap until needed, still have more stuff to powdercoat
smoked rear nomad lights and a green top level 8 with pectel board
when i was down the scrappyi noticed a granada in the corner, so had to have these, not bad for Ł4 hey
also as im going full aeroquip full lines i carnt use the std fuel and brake pipe clips underneath, so i bought some small p clips that i can mount the brake pipe onto, will know next week if they work or not
and a random pic of some engine bay clips fitted aswell as new bonnet cable
also new wheel arch liner clips
next is to wait for my abs pump oto arrive and get that all fitted then i can get the steering coloumn back in and pedal box
but all little things help aswell lol

was bored today as i carnt really do much to the car as of yet, so thought id strip the abs module down and clean it up abit, and found the best wheel silver paint in the world i think gives a proper shine
anyhow, heres what it looked like
removed the brake connectors
what it looks like in bits, had to drill one of the small bolts out that hold the electrical connector at the back, so will get one of these tomorrow
then the wheel silver went on and ended up looking like this
back plate
the main bracket and the gold part im gona send to have electroplated gold again, hopefully i can get there tomorrow so i can have it back for thursday
also, my sidelights were pretty crap discoloured, so as im going twin headlights i thought i colourcode them, so far there ready to paint but ill do it over the weekend
the lights
flatted ready for primer, 1 to be done
primered
and flatted ready fro paint, just need to ge the paint
tomorrow im down ford to get the sideskirt clips as they never turned up today, so order some shit gaurd clips aswell to finish the arches off

Nice work... wish I was making the same progress. It's slow going for me, been mainly sourcing parts.
Fitted a Sierra LHD ABS unit so I don't need the ABS block anymore, less pipes... Had the overhead trim redone in black... not sure I like it now. Also gonna be using a small turbo head. Loads left to do.
A few random pics:
Sorry for the thread jack...

I use http://www.duplicolor.com/index.html (Fabric and Vinyl) paint which is available at the local autoparts store here in the states, I also use the same paint for all the interior plastics... does a pretty good job.
There is so much more little crap that I need to get... anyone know where I can get the drop links for the rear roll bar, gas cap and key? Also looking for a set of clocks would prefer a set with non working lights as I have a set of Birba faces.

i'd definatley cut out the boot floor for access in the future - its a tank off job in the future otherwise which aint too much fun.
the motorsport shells had a removabale panel as standard,
