Cheers,
Stu.

lol cheers y'all

Pete actualy has pics of my car in his wallet

Lower class 4i owner....I'm aiming to have it as my wedding car, for this year, in four weeks....wish me luck mate

 

looks very nice have you got any photos from befor you started work on the old girl

 

She looked quite tidy but scabs were starting to pop up here and there, and the pattern offside front wings was really going on the inner lip along with the slam panel being misaligned (obviously had a small crash repair in the past). Generaly things were starting to tire, so I figured sort it all in one go insted of letting it go too far. Was running an old school stage 2 set up ie light greens, -31 and a well lane chip on the standard T3, later on a T35.

 

Stu get them arch's on i want to see the rear as those tyres are close mate

 

looks really nice.. only the rims aren't my style

 

Your right Chris, they do look close. Think I'll put the 235's on the rear, and the 225's on the front...cant really go any skinnier on these rims though tbh.

Cheers, and no worries

 

Lookin good fela

 

looking good mate

 

fat as fuck that is and its original rims looks sweet.

 

bloody hell!!

good luck with the dead line. you'll have to post up pic's with it all ribboned up..lol

 

Looking good mate love your wheels

Looks awesome,a credit to you.Was this featured in performance ford many years ago?

 

Superb!!, it even looks good on those rims without the bodykit too!!

 

Very nice, Like the wheels

 

Fucking wow......................

 

Looks stunning mate. The paintwork is awesome!

 

Cheers everyone for the kind words

lol any time yoof

Nah mate, I used to get that alot years ago ie people asking if it was a ex-feature car as it was around the same time as that feature that I bought those same ACE112 alloys.....tbh I was gutted that I got beat to it

lol cheers, kit should hopefully be on late this coming week...along with all the glass

 

Not got a great deal done today tbh. Ordered a few more new parts though, a pair of new number plate lamp units and a new tailgate latch to go with the new striker I fitted, a 70mm core black RS500 style intercooler, and a new boost hose to mate said intercooler to new inlet plenum. Not an awful lot left original on this car now
Interior starting to come together nicely....


Sought after part found in local scrap yard

Now the new set of new tyre's is fitted (grrr) Ive given the rims a little clean up..


Im starting to warm to the look of the 35 profiles over the 40's tbh

 

Right then, just got in doors...quite tired...here's just a few pics, nothing much to report really, dash in, sound deadening in, window regs fitted up....now she's sat waiting for the glass men who are coming tomorrow.

 

Quick update, glass fitted up and a few odds and sods sorted. New front tyres fitted....I aint keen. Gonna have to order a pair of 35 profile rears me thinks to at least balance it out



Engine bay starting to come together...
