Nice one mate,
Fast Ford mag feature is top stuff, It's similar to my thread in a sense that it's great to see it featured after all the hard work you put into it. Any ideas when the issue will be out? I'd imagine a few months yet? I had my shoot in April and issue wasn't out until November.

I had something similar at Santa pod the other week Matt. Whilst lining up in the fire up lane, two lads next to me pushing a BMW looked under my bonnet and asked what i'd done to my engine. My friend just told them it was standard, there response was "Do you think we're stupid? He's put a Cosworth engine in there!"
Do younger lads today not know about Sierra Cosworths or something???? Made me laugh.

lol now thats funny
At last I have fitted the new Turbo, Alcon clutch, and the bigger rear brakes oh and had the flywheel refaced and fitted with new arp bolts
then today I have repainted the headlight covers and a pair of mirror covers as the carbon ones have gone a bit cloudy
might try and flat them back and polish them again
Next on the list is carbon roof gutters

only a little update
The glue that i used to do the roof lining that I had renewed during the rebuild failed and the lining started to sag
so i got some new black fabric and recovered it
so off with the old
and on with the new
Just got to take all the roof lining trims,sunvisors, sunroof motor cover etc and get them flocked in black tomorrow then refit it all
Got the headlining kit here
