Default My Cab so far.

Hey everyone its about time i uploaded some pictures of my cab,

Specs are as followed

1. Full leather retrim
2. 17" BBS reps
3. RS Turbo engine
4. New header tank, boost hoose, oil return hose,
Good service including, oil filter, new oil, plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotary arm.
5. JBL front and rear components, 12" jbl sub and amp all speakers running off the amp, need a new wiring kit though as the one i have is rather old and rubbish lol
6. Sony bluetooth cd/mp3/usb/aux player.
7. Toad A606i cat 1 alarm.

Alot more to add but cant be bothered to list them all lol.

Things i need to do are:

1. Repaint the rocker cover as its red lol
2. Retrim the door cards and rear panels.
3. Replace the gauges, boost, volt and oil pressure (hopefully get the ford racing gauges)
4. Relocate the gauges into a twin pod and find somewhere to put them lol
5. Wire in the oil pressure gauge lol
6. Eventually look at getting the paintwork sorted, theres no rot or rust anywhere just a general clean up few little dints to be pulled out and touched up, also getting the front and rear bumpers and spoiler repainted.
7. Upgrade to mondeo mk3 calipers and st170 discs.

Hope you all like good and bad comments welcome.

As said the seats are lovely! Whole car looks great.
IMO Wheels are too big though and make it sit way too high.

Looks really nice, like the 17" bbs but not sure if they suit your car that well.

thanks for all the comments guys, as for needing to be lower i've never really thought it sat high, it is hard enough to get out of the car as it is lol i dont think i can go much lower and i would get alot of arch rub i have had to cut into the arches as it is.

Deja Vu, lol!

As I said before, wheels wouldn't usually be my cup of tea but I love it. Love those seats, not far off what I'd like to do.
