Yeah, funny enough I whipped them off in my lunch break today,I think im going to get them blasted and powder coated gloss black along with the seat belt rails on the floor and the centre seat belt bracket and bolt, there's a company on the industrial estate that does it that ive used before.

That tool kit is cool as fook.

xr2mk2turbo

lol, I thought that too, as soon as I spotted it I had to have it, they do pop up on ebay tho, I havent seen another unused one before but good used ones do come up and the tools could be cleaned up with autosol and box re-plastic coated

Awesome project mate, enjoyed reading from the start. Just shows what can be achieved!

very impressive
can you still get shocks & springs from ford ?

xr2mk2turbo

Many Thanks, best give your local dealer a ring don't know if they still do them, the things you think they will have, they don't and the things you think they wont have they have, its a lottery that's for sure, oh and the price of some things

Right first of a few up dates coming, next up the carb.

My friend Carl has been refurbing my carb for me, being a motorbike restorer and a carb specialist I couldn't wait to pick her up.

Anyway yesterday I got the call to say it was done, it's had a full vapour blast and ultrasonic clean, refurb and service kit. Really happy. If anyone wants his details PM me.

Next up, inlet manifold and thermostat housing. These we're run through the dishwasher and once again with just water no detergent. Then all the casting marks were removed and painted in a VHT Aluminium paint.
