Right, this is the last set of pics of it before it goes off to get painted and wings/scuttle fitted on monday

WOOOHOOO at last!

Doors are getting de-locked, decided to keep the boot lock as imo it looks too plain without!







and why we do it, for the love of ford.... (purely accidental)



blocks going off to get bored out soon as ive hopefully got myself a set of JE pistons, crank, rods and shells

Another update with pics from Steve (fordrs2005)

He's been busy preppin the front end/engine bay, totally amazed at how well he's ground/filled the battery tray and surrounding area, looks like its never been replaced!



inner wings and front panel needed rubbed down as paint was flaking off from previous work





what can I say, well pleased !!!!
