I can't help but think without the spoiler and bonnet/ lights it would be such an awesome sleeper!

Although, how rare it is and what's on it make it uber cool!

Thanks to Big Gaz Aka rst-g for sorting that out while I supervised

Might lose the red MSD coilpack, got some powdercoated heatshields and odd bits of carbon to fit but nothing much.

and had a tinted sunstrip fitted this morning;

So day after Ford Fair, one of the coolant pipes split and the car pissed itself. So decided to change the whole lot to Focus RS Roose ones as the way the coolant pipes ran before was a complete bodge job.

Also relocated the battery to the boot to give more space for the breather set up, fresh MOT and 6 months Tax

Second day back on the road, sight glass on the header tank decided to give up on life and shat itself;

Luckily I had a new Ford one in the parts department! So fitted that and all good!

Got hold of some New wheels and a spare ST170 Rear beam read for the powdercoating and polybush treatment

Hi Mate - that looks awsome. Just wanted to ask if you have any problems after moving temp sensor from thermo housing to the adapter in the rad hose?

thanks - was thinking of doing the same.
