Jammy86 - I know what you mean, I would probably be looking at thousands to put this all right and have it all painted again by a body shop - I'm lucky I have a friend who is a painter and can give me reasonable rates!

Hobomassiv - That must have been one of the last shows the car went to either ford fair or trax that year! Guessing by your sig you have 'PUKKA' Ka now? Remember seeing this car in 2004.. That amongst others gave me the idea to do the rs turbo conversion I had originally. It's a nice car do you have any recent pics of it?

Many thanks for all the comments - giving me the reassurance that I've made the right decision!

Will update shortly.
