Cheers lads. I didn't make the cage no....the cage is a Dimma bolt in "sports cage" so just for show 
I got it from a guy off here couple years back now. But you can get them at www.dimma.com (They are very exspensive on there tho!! not worth that money!! lol)
Cheers for the comments

Yes, I know they look like the same car

I'll just lower it more, makes 16 look just as good as 17 I guess

Been playing with photoshop and made a preview with 16's and very low(won't be that low in real life tough), but I think the rims suit him very well

you said you like to polish it,do you ever drive it?ford didnt even make them that good,no paint underneath(except maybe a bit of overspray) maybe a bit of underseal if you were lucky lol,the whole point of owning an rst or any car for that matter is driving it not polishing it,no harm in looking after a car but you either have too much time or too much money,apart from that lovely car

First page updated with a couple of pics taken today - Decided to tax the car this weekend, Fitted a new battery, gave the car an oil change, new plugs and leads, filters etc - Covered the first 20 miles since last september time today and it felt good - Will likely do most of the shows again this year and hope to have the engine built by the end of show season I guess ?
Cheers for looking
