35mm rear spacers custom mad by myself
i had to do a spot of welding to the rear. then i scraped off all the dirt, rust and other nastys (a nest of baby spiders lol)
i gave it all a rub down and a coat of underseal
patch
then it was build uptime!
a good friend there giving me a helping hand with the exhaust
new hand brake cable £30 posted

all built up now
when i bled the rear brakes one of the pipes on the car sprung a leak so i had to order some from ebay. £15 posted for both sides.
i put her back on the ground and took some pics
got the wheels finished for the mondeo
thay arrived 2 days after i ordered them
fitting
she was running rough so i cleaned up the spark plugs to give then a littlebit more life, i not goin to be racing her around just yet but they will do for moving her here and there.
i have stripped most of the unwanted wires out of the cabin and now its time to start with the engine bay
on my next update il be temporarily fixing the rust on the rear arch to slow down the rust ingress and keep it looking ok until i can aford frp rear arches.
yet again ive spend a couple of hours on it again today so got more to update with.
bye bye for now
