Right front 4x4 koni's now sold and my front 2wd koni's and rear stub axle ordered from Gary@rsclassics, ABS loom should be with me by end of next week brake lines all connected now so by the end of the weekend car will be on all 4x wheels and ready to go minus the loom and exhaust. As soon as ABS loom arrives I will fit and bleed brakes.

Abs loom arrived Friday thanks to "David" will get it fitted Monday. I'm a bit pissed off as car is basically finished now, all that's left to do is put front shocks/springs/hubs brakes etc on and drivers rear stub axle (ordered from Gary@Rsclassics Monday) still not here hopefully Tuesday. then its just fitting 24v loom and sorting exhaust I really cant wait at least it will be ready for classic ford!
