You gotta love angle grinders . . . This is hence the user name . . . The front and rear springs might get another coil cut off depending on how it sits with the zetec fitted I just lobb'd 2 coils off the rear springs and 1 off the front springs








After a quick polish, sorry was getting dark . . . Mondeo rims, Sunroof fitted, and slightly tinted top half rear lights which look sooooooooooooooooooooo much better 8) RSTurbo front brake set up fitted and bled up along with a new rear wheel cylinder fitted so now all 4 brakes work





Front pannel still wants plating up Colour coded washer bottle blends in nicely





Clear indicators and new headlights still to be fitted








Nice camber on the rear wheels, will eat tires now :idea: I love it, its so simple, yet it looks so good, will be a hooooooooooot to drive :mrgreen:

Now't bar my time which I havent got much of these days lol
I payed Ł200 quid for the 1800 130bhp engine with loom etc,
I bought the odd bit here and there for it but alot of its just spares I have that I cant sell, so thought I'd just build a car up out of my spares
Its just to tide me over til the zetec turbo Orion is out

Suppose it depends on how much you look into it 1st, long as everythings there, seems easy enough to me
Plenty of people on here to help if you get stuck anyway
