got my new wheels on today
they are ford puma 15inch wheels with 195/50/15's
no rubing or anything on the rear for the front i sat the old wing in place and me and my step dad was standing on the front panel just to see how far it would go down as there is no engine fitted atm
still had over a inch and a half gap
fitted my gearbox onto the cradle
fitted my rear lights tho will not be keeping them as one has a bit broke off
tomorrow new sill getting welded in and all seats out as fitting my buckets in

looks good
you may need to roller the arches i think, not to keen on the wheels, i think some cossy sharktooths would have looked better but each to their own
cars coming along nicely tho, i bet it will be quick with the zetec turbo in it
