here are the progress pics, from when I got it, to the day it was painted

after that, I tried some escort 14" wheels on, whick I liked at the time, but I think pepperpots or mk2 xr2 steels would look better

after that I fitted some more parts, and here it is how it stood for a while.
^^^the gaitor has now been cleaned
under my arches before..:

... and after:

then I tried 1 of my pots on:

this is how it looked for a while - bar the pepperpot - the fiesta sticker from the rear window has since gone.

But then things changed, I got a new set of wheels, put em on, spent 3 hours polishing it, and this was the result :

Then I got some spotlights, and these came through the post :

So I got em fitted, and this was the result, I was IN LOVE!

Then I got some 4 spokes, so I got em fitted, but they rub

^^ one off centrecaps, a combination on standard 4 spoke centrecaps and pepperpot centrecaps.
Then I had some fun with a hand that was originally from my dads hearse :

Like I said, they scrubbed on the arch, so it lay in the garage like this for a while (i painted the centrecaps since the last batch of pictures ) :

till this happened

So it sat like this, and did do till I got the tyres changed :
i eventually got some smaller tyres on the front, and it looked like this...
Then this arrived...

Took all the packaging off, and I was left with this.

took the layer of bubble wrap off, to reveal this.

Oh YEAH!

I understand it won't be to everyone's taste, but it's retro, and in my opinion, will look awesome when fitted!
And then i found some old pictures, excuse the brown water marks, they were off when the coreplug burst.
All ready (almost) for when im 17 next year!
