cheers everyone

Agar, I'm tryin not to buy everythin at once, will buy loads of bits once the cars finnished that ive not got just now like rear lights for instance as the ones ive got are fine just would like as many new bits as poss!

16vzetec.com, I honestly dont know, they are on Koni shocks?

Ricky, the hardest bit is gettin the shell solid an painted imo, the rest is jus bolting bits on !!

Mark, alright mate, who's doin ure sills for u? will look good once done, so ure keepin it then?

Sarah, cheers


Hopefully get some bits done tommo, maybe put front an rear screens in!?

Hello Lady's and Gents

I've been kinda busy lol

was down tonight working away, got the boot spoiler and rear window in.
so far ive refitted:
rear window
rear lights
rear wiper motor and wiper
boot spoiler
all door rubbers
rear quarter windows
C pillar trims
rear door cards and top trim
rear seatbelts and seat brackets
rear seats are in, just need to find where I left the bolts
door glass is in
door handles
sunroof

I'm sure i've done more but cant think!

oh painted the floor!

Gonna get the engine bored next week and the head overhauled so I can get cracking with that, and also get the car back up in the air to strip the suspension and paint the underside in its final top coats!

Got brand new ford steering rack coming and p/coated 16i front ARB with new TCA's all poly bushed.

Need to get me some new indicators/rear lights I broke a bit off the drivers side rear lamp and the indicators are cracked might get orange ones but not sure!

Here's a couple of pics, phone chucked it tonight so only got one pic (typical!)





Aah Cant wait to get back behind the wheel lol

You twat

Whats with those pics anyways, did you get one of those courtroom scetch artists to come and scribble it down for you? It's going to be such a shock when your burd gets her fancy-schmancy camera out and actually takes a pic thats not utter wank

Good progress anyways cum-bum!!

Rab, Your on thin ice I'm close to phoning jenn and confirming her suspicions about your sexuality

Lee, Metal tabs mate! my rear skoosher doesnt seem to sit as high as it used to either into the spoiler??

2 of mine broke the captive nuts loose so instead of pissing about I just use nuts and bolts/washers.

Hevangel, Had'nt really done anything majour so didnt see the point in updating, I hadnt been working on it as much as I should have either! glad your all interested still though!

Zetec_mk4_XR3i, cheers mate, It doesnt feel fast It's been off the road since 15th january! Still got a fair bit to go before its a full working car again, i'm starting to realise if I just put standard parts that ive already got back on instead of trying to do everything at once I'll get along quicker, then change parts in the future once its up and running!


Alex, cheers
