Used to love reading about this car in performance ford. I thought i reconised it a few issues ago. Have you had any problems with the airtec turbo cooler since fitting it? Havent fitted mine yet, still in box!!!! Really like what you have done with the car so far keep it up.

good thread mate nice to see it getting restored
why so serious
if the lights are nakerd you had nothing to loose, but if your seriously want to black them out try getting some new ones and use a thin coat of tint spray that might reflect better
you could always use hid's to boost the light output
just a thought

well its been 10 months since the last update nothing had happene a[art from the body shop it was at closing down currently looking for someone else to take it on but am o a limited budget.....watch this space
#339
im totally at a loss this this car now i cant find anyone willing to take it on with my remaining budget of Ł1500, ive been speaking to my boss and he said i should rely put a 1/4 panel on the side with the most gob in it to make it easyer to be painted
no matter where i go everwhere wants Ł2000+
do i just bite the bullet and pay the money
do i reshell into a better painted shell
do i stick it in storage for a while and do it when i'm in a better financial position
at the mo the car only owes me about 1500 but is no way worth that now
i rely dont no what to do with it now. i love this car and rely wanna see it finished
commence encoragment

prob is dan it wasn't that bad when barry took it on would have made a grate track toy was gonna sell it for 1500 with the damage as it was only cosmetic, the engine and turbo are excellent, newish koni's and it makes 190 at 14psi!
but obviously it had to be stripped and has had the repair so far, now barrys knocked it all on the head there is no "mates rates"
idealy id like to keep it get it done enjoy it and sell further down the line but just out of interest what would you pay?

seriously tho keep it mate if you buy another your only going to have to start all over again sometimes it really is better the devil you know
#349
this is what im sort of thinking that was the main reason behind doin it in the first place, i rely have to sort some storage for now
#352

Gutted man, suppose it doesn't make sense to have this and the high powered 3i really though. Hopefully you'll get a decent return on it when all the works done.
Still need to get my wheels refurnished before I sell them, got a massive crease in the door too where it swung open and hit a tree when I was reversing
Not having the cash to get it done sooner has been a massive burden..
