indoors now enjoying a nice few stella's 
the car is finally tucked up in its new home, did take a couple of pics but the camera is not wanting to play so thats stuffed that lol,
big thanks to gus for driving the 965 miles
really appreciate it mate
only pic of the car i have is of it on the corner weights as i wanted to see its weight so far, and its at 820kg as it stands now, so im hoping that with carbon bonnet tailgate and maybe doors i can finish it around the 1000kg at which il be well chuffed as the gearbox and diffs might stand half a chance then with the 400+bhp.......well at least for a while anyway,
will get some more pics at some point this week when i get a chance,
And again BIG BIG thanks to Andrew, Scott and the guys at ag motorsport for a fantastic job, cant reccomend them highly enough

gearbox, diffs, shafts, block, steering set up, cooler and rad, seats, doors and boot and dash etc,
so main things missing are cylinder head, manifolds,turbo, front and rear brakes,
the steel door weight approx 25kg each as does the boot so with carbon roof/doors and boot once its finished 1000kg should be acheivable

Yeah Ka doors including glass are 27kg each and tailgate inc glass and wiper is about 25kg
Going to get carbon ones asap 
Be good to get it finished under 1000kg

Good to see it back home!
I think you will be looking at more like 1100kg when finished, but good luck to getting it as close to a tonne as possible. Lots of things missing from it before its on the road, its amazing how it all adds up!

Well after the long trek over the weekend the car is now back with me, as said before MASSIVE thanks to Gus for driving the 960 miles and Ronnie for lending me his trailor for the weekend
i got a couple of hours to tidy up after chucking everything in the garage at half 9 last nite so took some randon pics of everything, i am so impressed with it its unreal
car in its new home, not a luxurious as Andrews but it will get used to it
a few pics of the battery tray recess behind the passenger seat for a varley red top and the omni sport bumper mounts from behind the bumper
the fuel pump and filter housing fitted to the car with the fuel tank sump that sits under the car, this is identicle to the focus rs green escos Andy built up and has proved to be a great fuel set up with no surge or pick up issues at all,
hand brake with carbon look lines that are fitted throughout the car and the bias valve neatly mounted alongside
some of the pedal box and steering wheel etc
and a few random of all sorts
And my favorite shots with the front bumper removed showing the semi space frame front end looking tough as fook
theres a lot of work ahead of me and alot of money to be spent so its gonna be slow but soooooooo worth it

cheers for the comments
Ronnie - the fuel set up for the tank, filters, 2 bosch motorsport 413 10bar pumps and the mounting box was £650
The last pro alloy one i had in the xr2 was awesome but it was £1100 nearly on its own, then another £230 for pumps filters and £300 for pump holder etc so imo Andrews one is better design with the sump set up and is proven and apart from fuel send and lines its ready to go,
As for the primer the car is in a fully carpeted garage with no damp etc so it shouldnt really get any worse than it is now with the surface rust before i get the money together for it to be painted, no point using a million rattle cans on it now just to rub it down again, or would people just etch it as it is now over the surface rust? i know fook all about paint etc
info appreciated

a few people who had shells blasted said they were finding shot in the car forever more afterwards, but it would be easier and cheaper to blast it then etch prime it before high build primer and paint, im not overly fussed about a 100% perfect finish as its only the inside and underneath after all
