Go to the Website www.photobucket.com and setup a new account you can then upload your pictures to that site and it will give you links that you can post into a build thread

Right im sorry iv not done any up dates on my build for a long time but iv had a lot on with work and any spair time i have had has been tacken up helping a lad on here how has got a saff cosworth and he spun a crank shell in his motor so iv rebuilt it for him and at 12.15 last night the car left here with the motor all done and sounding very nive all i can say on this matter is me and my BIG mouth.
well as iv not had the time to work on the focus when i have sat down iv spent a bit of time on EBAY getting bit for the build and up to now im not doing to bad

IV NOW GOT

4X4 FRONT BEAM
4X4 GEAR BOX
4X4 FRONT DIFF
4X4 FRONT PROP
4X4 SUMP
4X4 REAR BEAM
4X4 ENG MOUNTS
4X4 WATER PUMP
4X4 THERMOSTAT HOUSING
4X4 OIL PIPE TO MOVE THE OIL FILTER
4X4 INLET PLENUM
2WD EXHAUST MANIFOILD which Dave has at the mo to mock up his focus
205 BLOCK / CRANK / RODS / PISTONS / 2WD FLY WHEEL
And a BIG Thanks to Dave for getting me some tube to do my rear turretts



So i dont think im doing to bad for bits at the mo just need to get some time to get back down to the car and do some welding
