Haha Adam I'd love it back together for the summer but doubt it will be.

I started to build the doors back up fitting the window mechanisms, handles and locks.

Was planning on going in the garage all weekend this weekend but haven't been able too as my girlfriends grandad won the postcode lottery and she had to take him to find out how much he won (which was a nice £27550) so i was left baby sitting her nephew.

I have managed to get in for an hour or so today and done a little bit work.
The seal for the petrol flap was all cracked and perished so i ordered a new one from work £16 well worth it.

I also put the grill back together (could do with a new ford badge this one looks all aged and discoloured)

Then i decided to have a go at fitting my spoiler, new bolts were sourced and bolted down nice and tight
