Thanks for all the praises on the build guys, makes it all the more worthwhile reading this


Update for this week, again only small jobs



Popped to the breakers yard Tuesday to get some door seals and clips etc and while I was there I g a mint ford badge for the boot, so got that stuck on and re fitted the high level brake light and the loom for the light and plate lights

My mate tig welded my wastegate back together where I had tacked it, he had to do a large weave weld as I cut it so close to the original weld it looked crap with 2 welds side by side
Now clears everything ok, just hope the turbo clears when I get 1!


After meaning to do it for ages I finally got the 3m tape out and stuck the door trims back on

Also properly bolted down both seats, had to wait to get some 10.9 high tensile hex head bolts as there is no access for socket caps and I can't bolt the brackets in first as the tunnels side of the seats is too tight to bolt in after so hex head was the only option, I couldn't get a 12.9 hex head so I think 10.9 tensile will be enough considering that fia harness eyes are only 8.8 tensile

Anyway seats now properly fitted and both harnesses fitted properly to the harness bar

That's it for now, tomorrow il have another go at the dash and I am going to bond in the roof vent as I picked up a new mastic gun yesterday after my last broke
