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

here is the details of modyfiing of front bumper.. part between the front lights is wider and stumps has same wide like this. Sloping sides of mouth was extended to the same wide too. top part of bumper is pretty finished.. I need to make the same shape like on the side of body in horizontal center of bumper.
It will be a lot of work but after it Ill start to build the engine because the megasquirt is ready:
My friend finished it in Friday but the diodes should be in better position to the holes in box. It need to repair it. He will finished the EECIV adapterboard now.

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.

Hello guys. After a long time Ill show You some new details. I was working on taillights and headlights.
Next time I will change the "bad boy" bonnet. The space between the light and the bonnet is bigger then I want.

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.

hi girls and boys after a long time.. I get a few pics of news in my garage:
seating face was milled on the front brakes and two holes for lugs on pitmans was milled out from calipers too:
and Im making this adapters:
so.. few pics of the bumpers.. still needs a lot of putty and grinding:
the last thing is mould for rear diffuser.. this is for basic U-shape:
and this is material for making this part.. some peace of 2mm plastic plate:
it will be about 6 stripes together and finally the complete diffuser will be from fiberglass or carbon:
