I ll let the pictures do most of the talking
Nice wide stance from the back
4x4 Cosworth Calipers, EBC Grooved discs and Redstuff pads now reside behind the wheels
My custom made Gel wheel centres
New Number plates which are yet to be fitted
Thats it for now, hopefully all the little bits and pieces will arrive before next weekend so we can get it presentable for FITP

Guess what arrived today. All the hoses are here except one which hopefully we can get around with a bit of a bodge for now using a Ford pipe.
My brother got back from Turkey on Monday, by Tuesday night he had made me a brake fluid resivoir cover for a Mk1 Mondeo
Its been made in mild steel so the crackle paint will go on better, just needs a hole drilling into it
And the cars new mascot, a Tango man
Tomorrow night Im hopefully picking up the strut brace, header tank and other little bits from the paint shop as I ve gone crackle black crazy, more pics soon

Cheers to Rossco for painting these bits
Picked up the crackle blacked bits 8)
Wiper motor cover
Plate where most Fiestas have a locking catch for the bonnet
Mk2 Golf Bailey header tank
And last but not least, my strut brace 8) (excuse the dog bone)
This was actually made by cutting up my old strut brace and using an Omega Roll cage
Also collected my 2nd brand new spotlight from Ford tonight and a set of spot light brackets

Cheers Ross.
It has to be said that without Steve Crooks, this car would quite simply not of been built, especially to the standard it is today.
Words are quite simply not enough to say thank you to the big man and someone Im very proud to call a friend.

Spent all day today until dark finishing bits off and getting the car ready for FITP.
Car will be there but wont be running for long because we didnt have time to sort the management side of things and so its stuck with a base map and over fueling like fu(k ............ also we needed a USB serial adaptor which PC World dont stock :S
Then my fan decided to shit itself so I cant run it for very long periods of time anyway.
Door cards are about the only thing still needing to be done but will just have to look a bit untidy in the mean time.
Front Valance and Number plates fitted
Inside all tidied up
Hoses and all the Crackle black parts fitted except for the brake fluid resivoir
And Tango man hanging on for dear life

No problems. Just give me a bell and then pop over to the workshop one Sat morning. Gonna cost you a cooked breakie though and if Steve comes along to that could get seriously expensive!!

I had the pleasure of a ride out in this car to day and was proper impressed. Car goes really well and the noise from the throttle bodies is unreal!!
Thanks for the ride mate.
