Rebuilds @Projects
The car was not built to a standard I liked so the design begun. It was entirely removed inside and out and essentially all the bad minutes of which there are lots are tardily been put right as and when monetary resource appropriate.

Well the Xenons are fitted 8)
Neatly located Ballasts....... and crackled washer bottle in the 2nd pic
New boot inner panel made from aluminium
Modified rear door cards
and it may not seem much but the little clips on top of the headlights were in a bad way. He's left them in a tank of solution of some sort and they are now like new although will be getting a dusting of hammerite asap
Plans now are to re locate the HUD so it sits higher as the steering wheel protrudes alot of it, and also spray the door cards black.
Im also in 2 minds about replacing the fuel cell with another unbodged one and not having the rear window fuel cap.

Right a small update.
Last week I removed all the inner door cards that my brother had made for me to respray. I turned the greenhouse into a mini spray booth which ended up being shit with dripping condensation.
Still I soldiered on with a light coat nearly every day last week after drying them off to get my desired finish.
Today I managed to squeeze myself into the back of my car to refit them, anyone that knows me knows Im not exactly small and the gap I managed to squeeze into, Im beginning to wonder if I should join a circus :S
I managed to squeeze through the lower hole of the cage to sit where the rear bench should be with my head and one arm through the upper part of the cage
Anyway, the aluminium door cards now fitted after lots of swearing and bruised ribs
The HUD after being mounted on a small arm so its now visible whilst driving without ducking to look over the steering wheel or stretching to look over it.
And one from further away so I can be an attention whore with my Defi's
So after lots of messing about this morning and a photoshoot looming, I thought I best get the car washed. I hate washing my car at the best of times so the local Kosavan car cleaning outfit at my closest Homebase was given the job. They have cleaned my Fiesta ST in the past and for 6 quid, they dont do a bad job.
The only problem now is, its dirty again from the drive home as I cant seem to drive the bloody thing slowly

Well it seems my piston rings are worn. The car only made 176.6bhp which although respectable should of been more.
Peak power is made at 7000 rpm
Engine will probably be removed over winter and rebuilt back up, quite possibly with new pistons and rods.
Quick pic of the power graph

Gutting, whats made the rings wear so quickly?
Carnt belive how well the car goes with 170bhp though.
I am sure it will be back soon bigger and better.
