MS unit will be finished in 2 weeks. My friend is working on it. Now Im working on body yet and Im modyfiing both bumpers. This month I want to recieve my ordered gauges and after It I will start on my engine. Body will needs to demontage parts and my friend will made complete new electric with engine, gauges, lights, everything.. This year I hope that the engine will be working with turbo and body will be finished to sandblasting. Next year will be about lacquering and assembling car together. And 2010 the car would be finished for Ford shows

sexr3i: Its not about colour. I need to finish the body, bumpers, engine with turbo, complete new wiring loom from tail lights, interior to engine bay and front lights and after it the body will be sandblasting to metal. Painting is next step after it, maybe next year.

Thank You guys for the comments. I would like to see it on the road but Its many things to do yet. I need to finished some details like better shaping of the bonnet around the headlights, better gripping of the arches on the front wings and finishing of the bumpers. I have second zetec 130hp engine for building with turbo out of the car and I will change the engines after rebuilding.
