Default not a ford but just as fun 'pic heavy'

sorry i havent been on here in months even years but i have been busy . i broke the erst into bits as some of you may remember but i dont regret it even tho she was a monster. one day ill bite the bullet and buy a mk2 with yb but intill then this will do.

i brought the car standard for 300quid completely standard then the fun began...

pics speak for them self, comments welcome.

speclist as follows..

knuckledusted gear knob

quick shift

poly bushed gearlinkage

fully stripped interia except for dash and arm rest

stack oil pressure and tepm gauges

for racing volt gauge 'from my rst'

carbon fibre door cards

brake stopper

front and rear strut brace

decat

full custom stainless exhaust system ,heat wraped all the was thru

induction hose. with shrek airfilter off a vr6 golf

crystal clear head light bulbs/clear lenses

bc coilovers lowered to the max!

rolled arched

spoiler removed flushed and sprayed 'not 100% finished

super adven wheels stagered.

fronts 16 205 45

rear 17 225 45

new rad fans and engine fans fitted to save weight and there more powerfull.

probs missed loads, pics arnt the best and out of date but ill get some new ones very soon when the weather sorts itself out
















































i think the sidevents which are black need to be colour coded,your thoughts?

got a quick update for ya.
had her on the rollers a few weeks back but befor she went on i was so afraid of the figures she would come out with, but to my suprise it made 162.8 at the wheels which im my personal opinion for a n/a 1990 is blood good going!

also colour coded the side vents with the rest of the car becuase as much as i wanted it to the black just didnt work lol. to be honest they do look so much smother and blend right it .

i found a pair of cobrea bucket seats just down the road from me at a bargain price and in mint nick.

had a friend who is a pro tinter apply so limo black to all my rear windows

annnnnd at last i found the lights i wanted for my car sinse i bought her last year (rev3 rears)

i think thats it in the last few weeks other than having little bits touched up like arb brackets replaced along with bushes and painting the inside of the interia satin black which the pictures do not show but i have a week off so ill be finishing that tomorrow and pics will follow .

enjoy
