well a few more things done as i said the backbox is on and is quite large not sure if its staying but will do for a while untill i get a proper exaust system

well as you all know that ford red is not good to leave in the sun for too long she was all pink and faded red ! so sent it to prestige valeters in peterborough who we know and he is soooooooooooooo good at what he does and did all my car for me !!

inside, outside under the bonnet !! he even masked up the sill and sprayed them black !!!!!!!

got a few snaps !!

soo all i need to do now is get ma suspension fitted when it arrives !! (thanks REID)

and my rear spoiler will go on this week hopefully









dont worry the stack rev counter wont stay there its just temporary dont wanna kill it

gonna make up a proper dash may be some carbon ! lol

hope ya like

jim

That actually looks ace Jimbo, a really good first car fair play. I look forward to seeing how far Harvey will force you to go with car's when your insurance starts to get a little more realistic! Good stuff!

Are you taking it on track on the 8th at Oulton???

Not bad for a banger. Seriously, paint looks very shiny. Who washed it? Your brother!

Keep up the good work!
