well as promised heres a few pics of how far we got with stripping her down last night

just so you lot know ive never done anything engine wise myself nor has my gf so this is a learning curve the hole way i have a 1.8 zetec bottem end lined up for her so hopefully be a bit more reliable and able to handle more power once this is done









couple pics of inside





and our random sticker we have for the group we are in
