The exterior is nearly finished now, few small bits to do here and there but not far off. Im quite pleased with how its turned out.
Small update, the car has been spot on really so far. Its had a new set of leads and a front shock, and the heater martix burst which wasnt much fun to change
She did a 400 mile round trip to yorkshire about a month ago and neaver missed a beat.

Well that didnt happen!
A lot has changed on this car since my last update.
Found a bit of floor pan and transmission tunell rot which had to be sorted
Then i decided i was going to cossie kit it, so i put the kit on and ran it in 3 different colours for a bit. Bought my old comps back aswell so stuck them on.
I them put the standard bumpers back on so it looked reasonable for the sierra ace cafe day.
Armed with some black 2pack paint i prepped the bumpers up and sprayed them
All done and left to dry for a few days
Kit fitted
Cossie door mouldings half on, and the saph and 3dr staring each other out lol
Ran it like that for a while, fitted a new exhaust system which is a bit too loud really.
Fitted front recaro leather to match the rest.
Then prepped it up for ford fair, 4 new tyres, new discs and pads and a complete strip out for track time. Only decided to do one session this year and there wasnt much left of my clutch.
Gone for ambers all round now as i prefer them.
The evening before ford fair, all loaded up.
A few track shots
Managed to pick up a set of gaz coilovers and a rear strut brace
Old and new
So thats pretty much up to date. Got a 4wd cossie front end to fit along with my front coilvers.
Need to find the time to paint my 4wd bonnet up aswell.
And plans are being made for an engine conversion
