A few minor updates.
Sold the Autronics as I decided I didn't want to go down that route.
I managed to source a very tidy airbox at reasonable money. Purchased a new K&N panel filter.
New pack of tow cover ties and another fuel pressure regualtor, that's 3 I have now..lol.
Got new Ford bonnet stay spacer and clip plus some fog cover screws.
More to follow.

As it was Rally Day yesterday, last week I decided to take the wheels off again clean and seal them up then clean up the arch guards, suspension and brakes as I haven't done this for 3 months, I thought it was time to give it another going over, not to bad this time around as when I did this originally it was grimy,nice again now for 5 mins.
Just 2 pics of front wheels and one front arch,just clean and tidy so I am happy....for now.

Looking into getting some new tyres soon as the previous owner fitted a set of wong pong things,not the sort of thing to fit to a Cosworth is it.I'm looking at Bridgestones or Toyo possibly, a very limited choices are available for the 205/50/15 range.
The underbonnet resto is on hold temporarily until the winter months as my painter has lots going on at the moment.

I thought my turbo was a t34 with a .48 ex housing. I have since checked the paperwork and it is a Turbo Technics T35 stage 3 hybrid, has 360 bearing and cut back blades with .55 ex housing, so that is a bonus.
Got a PF09 TPS coming back in the next few days.
Underbonnet resto will be starting in a round a months time, so a bit sooner than I thought and a bit of paintwork at the same time, this will be the winter project.

Cars going to be a stunner when your finished with it fair play to you. A wee bit OCD but I'm exactly the same lol.
Out of curiosity how much did big red charge to do the calipers as I've a couple of sets sitting I wouldn't mind being refurbished

Rear 4wd calipers Ł130 plus postage each way, so around Ł150 in total.You can have the normal zinc finish for less money, depends what finish you want.Will be getting the fronts done after xmas.
Thanks. Lee.

[QUOTE=155lee;6705562]Did you change your diff mount bushes?
If so was there any difference in noise?
Also,would you sell 2 foglight cover screws??[/QUOTE
Alright Lee. No haven't fitted the diff mount bushes, probably won't until next year now.I will be using the fog screws, not sure if 4 or 8 are required I will have to check.If 4 then I will sell you what you require.
