OMFG! i have just spent last 2 hours reading this properly, 5 cups of coffee and 10 fags-fooking well impressed Puts what im doing on my red one to shame

just a few questions i want to ask if ya dont mind dude.

Hiding the wiring loom etc, did you cut a hole in the front arch to thread it through from the fuse box?
Is it essential to have that "gutter" at the front to do this?
The flocking-what do they charge to do a dashboard?
The t piece for brakes etc are these still available new from ford then?
The braided brake lines, do these run straight under the car and if so where did you get them from dude to length required?

cheers matey

it looks well cool Hopw to see this at a show this year

Is that alternator bracket on the wrong way round or have you done that on purpose to be different.

Looking excellent mate.
