Thanks guys , managed to get the car down to work today for a good look underneath. Under that wax oil the car looks and feels quite solid below too
Plans for the car are as follows :-

Bodywork/Exterior – I want to leave it as Ford intended. I’ll keep the original mint alloys but I want some RS7 Softspokes. The lights I might change, got some smoked rears but not sure yet.

Interior, again I’d like to retain as much of the original look as possible, a few panels n trim need replacing, repairing.. door cards sagged n the usual faults with bolsters, just keeping an eye out for some decent parts.

Engine – this is the bit that’s well open to advice… I’m thinking of going for more power, standard at the moment but are’nt sure what to go for. Cost, reliability n all that.. what sort of mods would I need to see 180-200bhp plus rough cost? Its just gone round the clock so its well ready for a rebuild…

Brakes & Suspension – undecided yet, depends on the engine mods really, any advice on a decent set up would be appreciated cheers; I have no idea what suspension setup’s on the car at the moment… been on for the past 8 years that I’ve known.






No idea what exhaust this is, no markings so maybe custom?? receipts for over £400, supplied and fitted by Well Lane Turbo




Had a few scrapes... Bloooody speed humps




chassis rails been crushed at some point.




I'd had enough of stripping down sunday, been wanting to try out the sandblaster on some well rusted parts so i gave it go with the towing eye...
