On Passion Ford before I even get home!
All the bits look good mate.... shame about that weird kink in the spoiler though... wonder how I'll get that out

Thats the one mate, did all the hard work now letting someone else hog all the glory !!!!!!
The spoiler was like that when i bought it mate and you cant see the wee bend in it when its fitted so will be fine when its on the car
Wish i had more of them as could have sold that one 10 times over easily !!!

Cool, sure it'll be fine. Just what I wanted, couldn't be bothered with the usual type with all the holes burst open
Cracking drive up there too.... I'd never been so north in my life and took ages, but stunning fun!
I advise anyone to go and buy stuff from Colin, top parts for sale but even more so quality journey to get there!

Haha, no trailor! Wish I could have taken my Capri but not enough room in it to carry all the stuff back....
My wee Escort Estate was still a hoot blasting along those roads flat out the whole way though

a wee update for you,
i went up to do a bit today & decided to just paint the underside in black underseal instead of going for blue as its going to be on the track more than for show,
any way i managed to do allot of the boot floor & all 4 wheel arches before i ran out so i'll get more tomorow & get that finished
i also gave the rear quarter a wee sand but got pissed off with that after 10 minuits so i think i'll just let the painter do that
& a sneaky picture of the steel rods & ARP rod bolts

I know i know.... I had a rough price in my head when i decided to sell the cvh set up...
That price over the last two weeks has trebled..
Its not going to be cheap no! but its going to be fun.
Best bit is building it all then once finacially ruined looking at your new built battle ship and smile gracefully that you have overcome every small big ugly problem and Won!....

imsportbo1 it all depends on how far you want to go mate, for a 250 bhp zetec turbo id say roundabout Ł1500 all the way up to Ł10k for record breaking 450 - 500 bhp stuff,
i reckon the engine in & running in mine is going to cost around 6k & as close to 400bhp as i can, but i do look out for allot of second hand stuff & bargains
saying that tho my management & turbo is going to cost near 3k

*update*
thats the floor completely undersealed now so all i need is 4 new wheel bairings & some suspension & another coat of paint on the inside & the body kit put on then its off to the sprayers at the end of the month hopefully
i also tried to rub down the rear arch again at the bottom of the door but i just cant seam to get it right
so i'll do what i can preparation wise untill the end or the month to try bring the price down, like rub down the engine bay
& underneath
