The s2 would of been nice but the s1 is gonna be soo much better, theyre just a far cooler car to start with. I hope (even though its done to death) its gonna be blinding white as that suits them down to the ground and you'll have the power to go with the looks.

which sort of curry do you want mate? she'll knock up a few dishes if you like for you to try out if you like, but you've just got to tell her which ones you want

she does one with potatoes as well which looks like custard, but tastes fantastic

ok boys and girls well its sunday night and another action packed weeknd sees an update heading your way !!!!


so as a few of you guys know , dojj got in touch and offerd me ( in his words ) a solid and clean sierra shell for the floorpan of the new project foc

well i couldnt resist , so after a bit of chew , it arrived yesterday evening !!

and here she is




then with not much word from jacko , it was up with the forklift and time to strip off the running gear that dojj had asked to keep


front was soon dispatched


and one for the collection , dojj doing a bit of work !!!!!

not the ubber cool retro 17s the car was rolling on ,
dojj woldnt let me have them for the s1


rear dispatched with


the man of the hour , handing of the key lol , really cannot thank dojj and mick enough , seriously owe you big time guys



anyway that pretty much wrapped up saturday , dojj and mick came bk to mine where they indulged in a parmo

then they headed home


well today me and jacko went down the unit to start inspecting this " tidy shell "

so up in the air with the forks ,

and let the stripping and steam clean commence



all the arch liners ,exhaust sheilds ,guards were removed and then a liberal spray of traffic film remover slapped on ,



the result was simply astonshing for a 20 yr old car







zero rust on the entire floor , i shit you not i was almost crying with how happy i was , full factory paint , center in primer , no extra sealer , nothing !! like the day it left ford !!!!!











engine bay











to say im over the moon with the shell is the fucking understatement of the century !!!

i now have the two best possible bases to build a monster series 1 out of !!

shell was them put to one side , and tomorrow will see all the interior removed and the cutting of the floorpan if all goes well ,

hope you enjoy

beef !!!!!!

i got into SOOOOO much shit for it when i got home

i had to collect her, and baby (and a sleepy junior, complete in his pyjamas) from the hospital as baby fell and bashed her face against the side of the bed, end reslut, split lip all the way through where she's bit it with her teeth

but the next day was back to normal when i offered a plate of parmo as a peace offering

and then i was in more shit yesterday afternoon when i started to get the bits off the trailer "did you go to birmingham again no? you were gone for so long and you said you were going to be back in 5 minutes "

and now it's all good again, women eh
