Here's a few pics of how it is at the mo......
OUTSIDE






I've ordered some new wheels, which i'm picking up in the morning, the one's picture (which imo really suit it) are you sale here
https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=159788
UNDER-BONNET
Now the engine has only covered just short of 1800 miles, this is the main reason i bought it- a 1200 miles of these were running in miles so the engine is relatively fresh! So this i WONT be touching!



Ive order a Creative Carbon cam-belt cover- thanks to Mike R
And a new rocker cover of Paul Nth Yorks- of which he's having it refurbed by PHILLOY...
Here's one PHILLOY did for board member B11GNS

I'm having the same as above but in bright red- to match the samco's! The one i've got fitted is mint but is candy apple red,, which also will be for sale once i've got my new one!
INSIDE
Only one pic of the inside, nothing special its got a good leather trim, but i think i'm going to swap it for a mint late spec cloth trim?!
There's a new style secs monitor, and i've also got a new alpine headunit waiting to go in!

UNDERNEATH
Under-neath is also v.good, its had a recent new petrol tank, diff, fuel pump cradle all painted up etc,, in the next couple of days i'm going to be ordering a new koni kit and springs- as its sat too low!
Also it requires new rear discs and pads, so at this stage i'm going to put new 4x4 rear calipers on, so i can put vented rear discs on!

Pics of new wheels tomorrow! Any care to hazard a guess?? - There standard ford wheels and common as muck

Really like the stance on the above one too, think mine at the mo is sat too low,, but the suspension is going to be swapped in the next couple of weeks!
Side repeaters missing as i'm putting amber one's back in it!
Going to be removing the pinstrip too!

In the pictures its standard ride height, but now I had lowered it 20mm using eibach springs with spax adjustable shocks. It rides really nicely. I think Eibach springs are the best you can buy! You may already know, but you will need 5mm spacers on the front to clear the calipers. You can buy these from anywhere like halfords.
