Hey guys,

Went to see the car on Saturday before it gets sprayed - my mate Simon was just fiddling around with some final touches on locating the air-filter before it was having final bodywork sorted before it's respray on Monday afternoon. It's been a long time coming (off the road for 7 months) so to see it near to completion is a good feeling.

I heard the car running and it sounds very loud (unfortunately I didn't think to take a vid clip of it running at the time ). All hoses are plumbed in but the ERST top boost hose won't fit to the Pace chargecooler so I'm having to use the standard Ford hose for the mean time.

Here are some pics for you to look and see how it's coming along - not long now:

Some pics of the car how it was on Saturday:









Engine bay with hoses strewn about



A very mucky interior!



Showing how I managed to keep the flexi-joint in the Mongoose exhaust mounted to a T3 downpipe I got with the turbo (bought months ago)



This shows the location of where the air filter will be once it's all plumbed in - under the battery tray itself next to the gearbox



Front end again



Rear arches placed on side to show how much clearance the rear has - might be a problem when putting the rear bumper back on



Another of the same shot above but with the flash on!



I should get it back on Wednesday - which is nice

Cheers,

Andy
