So, due to my impatient nature and lack of ability to not get carried away I made a decision to hurry things along by getting another shell!
Although this time its free from rot, also I haven't done any work welding wise to the black shell and to make it mint would have taken just as much money but would have taken much more of my free time.
So this is where it is at:

also got rear disc and some FRS brembos, not sure if I am going to run these wheels tho.

That's if they fit, not sure i will be able to run them as they are 16" and may not fit.
Will have to see once they are all bolted up on the brackets I don't mind shaving abit of the calipers
I do like these wheels and want to keep them

Got a wee bit done this weekend, started to attack my doors with the saw there abit lighter now 
also prepped and treated the floor pans and engine bay also etch and primed them hoping to put some colour on tomorrow evening more to seal it than having a finishing coat as i dont want to be doing the same bits over and over.

Christian had 330mm brake kit under 16" comps but it was tight and needed slight modifying!
Yeah I was pretty happy with the quality when They Turnt up!
He had to get mine made cause he only had zetec ones with smaller gudgeon pin and I needed 22mm for focus rs pistons!
I just bought focus rs hubs so I can fit brembos - yet to buy calipers and fit tho

few wee updates, its slow going but i am just trying to chip away at it when i have free time but that is in short supply at the moment.
all i have done since the end of last year is get the underside all stripped then undersealed, seamsealer and painted and had my bits powder coated just need to find some wheels now but i can not decide on what to go for, i have a idea of the ideal wheel but they are as rare as hens teath and mega money.
Also got a RS1600i anti roll bar and some adjustable TCAs, a fuel cell and brackets for the brake coversions ill be happy when its rolling around again.

Thanks, when it's done it's going to be exactly how I wanted.
Going for a old school touring car look with a 2.0zt and mtx so a mix of old school looks and newer engine ect for performance and reliability.
Feel really lucky with the wheels they hardly ever come up for sale for a genine set and to have them all bolted up and ready to roll I'm over the moon they are a awesome set of wheels but they wasn't cheap.
But wheels can make or break the look of a car and these are perfect for me.
