project mondeo
it started of life as a mk1 mondeo 2.5v6 with factory fitted phase 2 rs kit
but i didnt like the way it looked

so the work started down to the unit it went for a bit of stripping and painting
phase 2 kit was chucked in favour of the better looking phase1 rs kit with small lip spoiler
plus morrette twin headlights were fitted and the side repeater were removed


once the car was back together put a cone filter on the car and made myself a straight through exhaust, plus lowered the car about 80mm and it looks alot better for now

this was part one once i get some more time i will be doing some more changes to the old girl and will keep you all informed

universal? how are you finding them?
i'm having the "knock off" coilovers from the american ford contour/cougar put onto the koni shocks of my mk1 mondy at the moment. they are the cheaper ones though, not the fancy D2's.
i see now theres a knock-off kit from USA for the contour/mondeo which is approx Ł200-250 which includes eibach coilover springs. i might use that kit on my other mondeo.
i'm going for adjustable camber all round on mine, i've always found it scrubbed the insides of the front tyres when it was only lowered 40-50mm even with a full alignment job.

they are the ones that have been welded to the shocks before i got them they are not to bad, i havent noticed any difference in tyre wear since they have been fitted so not to worried about the camber plus they still look the same ish lol
trying to work out which arches i can graft onto the mondy to give it that wide fat stance then come some big fat rubber to fill the new arches 
any ideas would be great????????????????/
also this week gonna start the dash conversion out of a alfa should look really good once all done and everything will be working!!
