I did this all in massive detail earlier but came to post it and saidi had to log in and the lot got lost so here it is in less detail

The car looked like this at around November time 04 and it took until august 05 to sort and get roadworthy again for national day 05 were it was on show some of you may have seen it







I originally had planned a set of 16" 5 spoke mondeo alloys but V6 EDC offered back my old red cabriolet to my dad with them on and he bought it i had the wheels off and sold it again and ended up lossing £50 so thast what the wheel cost bargain





I love the way the paint shines in this pic



nothing much really changed except some rare at the time clear rear lights, new number plates, mudflaps and genuine ford spotlights brand new £20 posted off ebay and a set of door pods and went to FITP 06







I then fitted a splitter and a pair of leather and suede recaros from an alfa 33 and went to ford fair









Then the last week n August i got offered a s2 buy a bloke who had bought it down the pub the night before and relised he didnt want it and got offered it for £250 at that price i snapped it up even though i had never seen it and didnt have the cash but i convinced my dad to pay for it and id sell a rolling shel for a profit which i did and i swapped it all over















It then went off to the auto electricians to have the loom done as i and the people who helped me do it arent very clever with wires and i didnt want it going up in flames and it came back running sweet except a boosting problem which turned out to be i had forgot to change the tank to an mfi one which tbh i dont know how i forgot which that done it as running properly and the mods started a stainless exhaust -31 actuator, forge twin core intercooler pipercross filter and a set of samco boost hoses i got for xmas



I then added a 12x3 front number plate and leather and suede recaros in the back and went to central day 07







and that leaves to the current day were i have a slight overboosting probelm which i wil lsort at the eekend fingers crossed and will fit a boost gauge also at the mo the wheels are getting refurbed so is sitting on odd wheels at the moment and will be back on soon

all comments welcome negatives positives improvements etc

cheers Billy
