No pictures at the minute but the car has had the door shuts, inside of the doors, boot shut, bootlid, top spoiler, drivers side kit and grill painted. Some of the worst scratches on the car where polished out yesterday and is in the booth ready for a polish all over to get rid of the fine swirl marks.

The bonnet will have to be painted soon but i'm running out of time before the shows now so didn't bother but the lacquer has weird cracks in it due to heat from the turbo so that will be done in the winter and the heat protective on the underside. As it stands though you can't see them and the bonnet looks well when polished



I think i'm reverting back to the standard mirrors for now but need to source a standard Sierra electric drivers mirror as the one i have has a scrape on it on the actual mirror part and not the cover so if anyone has one they're not using give us a shout.

The car was suffering from the smallest water leak but was bugging the hell out of me so traced it back to the stat housing at the top so not easy to see behind the pulley but it's changed for a better gasket and appears to have sealed well so another job ticked off the list.

Just my rear brake bells, brackets and bolts etc to sort then i can get the diff fitted up and rear brakes on and it is finished and can get back out on the road with it ready for M-sport in 2 weeks

Got my rear tyres sorted i've got 235/40 Eagle F1 on the CXN wheels and have a complete set of 235 & 215 Toyo T1r for my other rims but i'm hoping off fitting as i'm still on the look out to replace the MO's with RL7
