So day after Ford Fair, one of the coolant pipes split and the car pissed itself. So decided to change the whole lot to Focus RS Roose ones as the way the coolant pipes ran before was a complete bodge job.

Also relocated the battery to the boot to give more space for the breather set up, fresh MOT and 6 months Tax

Second day back on the road, sight glass on the header tank decided to give up on life and shat itself;

Luckily I had a new Ford one in the parts department! So fitted that and all good!

Got hold of some New wheels and a spare ST170 Rear beam read for the powdercoating and polybush treatment
