Have you ever taken the carpets out of a rs turbo or any of the bodykit off. I have worked on many ford cars b4 this and they looked great from the outside. Under the parts they were knackered. Dont believe me, keep looking over this forum most of the cars here have had major welding on sills, battery trays, bulkheads, chassis under boot floor. only to be found when stripping the car down. All i have had to do is a streight forward panel job with no fabrication or repairs what so ever. I am too much of a perfectionist when it comes to cars, especially when so much money is invested in it. This car is solid, not a speck of rust anywhere. Respect to those who have made nice cars on a budget in this forum. As someone said earlier its whatever makes YOU happy. The car is something to do in the very limited spare time i get these days. It has been an ongoing three year job. Things (people) out of my control have made it take this long! I posted the pics for a bit of fun, not for a debait about MK3 or 4, or to justify my reasons behind whats been done. I will post the remainder of the pics for those interested. For the few who like the car and the positive comments thankyou. The car is exactly what i want, and carnt wait to run it. I have had loads of cabrios and still have one, a puma which i reshelled when they were new, cossy 2wd and a lotus elise and loads of motorbikes. All of which i have worked on or modified. So i am basically saying i have not just jumped in with no experience on a project i cannot compleate. Watch this space.
