Cheers for the comments guys.
The retail on each joint is Ł100 +vat
I had to get them through xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (they did 15% discount on them though) because when I enquired at the local ford dealer I was told they were no longer available .

Thanks for the comments guys, it's much appreciated.
fomoco90 - For the blasting and powder coating i've used small companies that do it for cash, Its cost me about Ł80 for everything so far. Unfortunately I don't get my ford parts real cheap
Only about 10% discount. Part of the reason it's taking so long

Lovely stuff, my astra is having the same treatment, and i am being fussy about stripping back reusable parts and painting them. Like you did with your shafts.
Out of curiosity, what did you use to spray them?

Just another samll update:
Had a few more parts arrive
new clutch pedal
ratchet
and accelerator pedal cover
I have also cleaned up and painted the accelerator pedal
I have also fitted all of the above into the car now thankfully and what an absolute pain it was to do
That's it for now, I should be getting some more parts this week so I can do a bit more.

Ha ha! You're just like me. Whenever I go to Ford spare parts counter all the guys there try to hide or escape because I keep bugging them frequently with small 1 euro parts that need to be ordered from wherever one by one.
Nice work by the way.

Your right, with the exception of the gearbox & engine block everything else has been spray painted.
Here's the pictures of the brake servo/cross linkage and master cylinder fitted to the car
I have also re-fitted most of the inside today
