Gave the engine a good gunking (which it needed from rocker cover oil leak) then started detailing the engine bay, noticed the air filter housing lid was bust so i put good old super glue in the holes and put the screws back in, this seems to have generated new threads, result!

I then found the intake into the filter box, which stangely comes out of the near side wing? was broken where it attaches ti the box and kept falling off, I fixed this by slipping a self tapper into the attachment. There was also a cable hanging off near the gearbox which I reattached.

Quick clean up:

I bit the bullet and bought a new front valance from my local ford dealer, after much searching ebay with no sucess. This was a really easy job to fit, but I decided to use bolts and locknuts instead of the rivets provided, just incase I want to remove it in the future, plus I had no rivet gun lol!

I sprayed the bottom edge of the bumper as it has been scuffed at some point, probably when loosing the valance. Im really pleased with the result, I think the valance tidies up and finishes the front of the car.
