![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/southteesmxandrandoms7-5-11035.jpg)
roughly a meter of each , 2 mtrs of some - sizes from 4mm id to 50mm id ..
airline blower - gargae getting dusty lol
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/southteesmxandrandoms7-5-11036.jpg)
m8 pan head stainless hex bolts and washers , same as what hold the front top mounts in , needed for the rears as there on route
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/southteesmxandrandoms7-5-11037.jpg)
p clips , will become apparent later in the build![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/southteesmxandrandoms7-5-11038.jpg)

![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/southteesmxandrandoms7-5-11039.jpg)
if anyone knows where i can get new sidelight and indicator fittings ?
grommets of various sizing , holed and complete

![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/southteesmxandrandoms7-5-11042.jpg)
as you can see there around 15mm od at the bottom radiused up and ideal for a m4-5 hex bolt , so these will be holding the body kit on with the rivnuts , rather than a small washer or pop rived that stresses the kit and cracks it ..
also got meself a lil showplate made up ,

lol ta fella,
if you think you seen it all , you best keep posted ,
only 25 % of our ideas have went into the shell lol - and if im honest on reflection theres about 5 more mods id like to do to the shell if it wasnt so close to paint now ........ but theres always chance to do them when im finished and want to make changes / evolve the car
heads buzzing with little touches ect and theres loads more to come yet !!!!!!

hard to really say mark , dont want someone to then read and copy if you get me ,
its nothing such as mods re the fab work , the way the cars been done is perfect as is imo , more on the cosmetic side ,
few holes that wont be needed could of been filled , would of liked to make the old girl a tad wider lol , we did chat about hand fabbed wide arches whist still retaining the body shape sort of widening the kit 2 inches per side , possably a doorhandle swap , rear diffuser setup ect ,
but spesh a bit of a stickler for leaving the exterior as ford intended lol .....
i mean there all still feasable at some point in the cars life , but i guess you have to draw the line somewhere and just build it lol ,
have had thoughts of when its done featured and driven for a year ov getting spesh to fab the wide kit , and sticking a v8 in there , with 12 j rears for traction lol ,
