Gav the way its going it might end up like yours
Went down the paint shop last week to strip more bits off & been down tonight to swap alloys as the Comps are now sold.
Oh & got given a 18" RL7 FOC . Thats a set of 5 now all with the correct offset
Engine bay loom coming out......
All out now, since then the Inj are now out & the Bailey Damper has gone to.
Few pics with the RL's back on, but they'll be coming off soon as it comes home.

Little Update:
Picked up the new alloys yesterday whilst at Wales Rally GB. Big THANKS to Paul 3drRallySlag for keeping hold of them for a couple of weeks
8x18 ET32 GRP A Old Style Comps
They'll be going for a colour change tomorrow, plus the tyres are no good as there the wrong size. So if anyone wants some Escort Cossie size tyres PM an offer

Anybody who needs a Loom making up.....PM Ryan. Outstanding job

Small Update:
Im still not decided what im doing regarding rear lights yet....orange or tints it all depends how good or bad the front looks with the ambers on. But with that i bought some new rear seal but couldn't remember were id put them lucky enough i found them now
Plus whilst the engine bay is in pieces i got Robbie (The Diva) to get me a few bits powder coated, so with all the original spares i took off when the polished stuff went on, that went to be powder coated. I originally wanted Crackle Black but with everyone going that route lately ive gone for satin black instead. Also a big thanks to dave cos4x4 for taking his spare throttle bracket off so i could get painted
So BIG UP DAVE & DIVA.....

Update time:
My boys in Pro Clean have done me proud again and refurbed the wheels, but with waiting a few weeks for tyres they kept hold of the rims. Today i finally got my arse in gear and got some tyres to them
Just waiting on the anodised black and blue centre caps off Martoooon now
