I think the first trackday is probably going to be next April, got loads on in the next few months and the car needs some bits to get it up to spec

10 mins with the socket set and the fronts off, need to see if it will go into my garage (fairly steep ramp down to it) and also has a missing exhaust manifold stud and another that has snapped off so will strip rad out and remove turbo and manifold to sort that. Also will wrap the manifold once its off

Was a bit of a pain but got her into my garage, the ramp in front is quite steep and had to use the long ramps off the trailer.

After an hour with the spanners she looks like this, sort out the broken manifold stud and wrap the exhaust manifold and check everything over



















Looking forward to performance ford tomorrow, should be a good read

That looks a neat job.

While its in bits, is it not worth getting the engine bay painted grey?
