Stunning Mondeo!!!!
I'm now on my 4th (1 MK2 & 3 MK3's). They have their faults, but I still love em'.
Silver or Anthractite look stunning. It's just black and white wheels not my thing.

I think I would want to scallop the battery clamp to allow a bit more room around the terminals, last thing you want is a dead short across the battery clamps, it doesn't leave a lot of room for error.

The brackets hit the alloy hubs as they are a different profile round where the bolt holes are. I die ground the life out of them so they didn't hit the caliper brackets. It was just a case of taking small bits off at at time and offering the bracket back up to check for fitment.

right had a lot on at home and been away so got my arse into gear and got back on it,transmission sorted,turned out to be a sticky bearing causing all the drag problems,rear beam out again to change the solid mounts back to poly as solids didn't fit
no pics of that
got the battery box fitted and tb back on with no clearance issue now
intercooler and rad fitted pics aren't the best
started to put hoses on
started to make the brake pipes,not 100% happy with the rears so may do them again
just waiting for the front pipe to come back from getting coated then i can get exhaust on and fuel system started heres a few pics of the exhaust,its a work of art

You're not wrong, they went straight in the bin after measuring and spring testing. The top extension detail is simply welded onto a generic spax damper. The seals are gone and they are non serviceable.
Already specced out the new ones, 25 point adjustment for bump and rebound with valving to compliment the fronts and the car. Adjustable ride height with correct length springs that will compress instead of bend. Of course the springs will be......... You guessed it. PURPLE!!!!

What top mounts are you going to use? As the things on it were pure dung. Plus the actual shell mounts themselves are bent to buggery.
Personally I think that needs address before anything is bought/decided on 100%

I can make the top mount a spherical bearing just like the bottom one. It'll make the ride a bit harsher and noisier though. Let me know ASAP please. I've just text a Mark telling him you are concerned. I'll crack on with the bodies and internals but I'll need to be sorting the rods by Friday.
It's a bit of overkill on a road car mate.

Will your top mounts just be screwed on as per the 909 ones?

I'm sure they are fine pal. There's nothing wrong with running what you are running it sounds an amazing set up and what Mark has in place nowis fine, it just needs beefing up.
The detail on the top mount will be; as the rod gets close to the spring top cup, it will have a thread cut into it. This will allow a screwed on fitting to hold the spring top cup. This will be fixed position allowing adjustment of the ride height via the body of the damper. The extension tube will then slide over the top of the rod giving the required spacing before further detail allows the fitment of a load spreading washer and uprated bush. On the top another uprated bush and load spread washer will clamp down.
