Just a quick update. The shell is fully welded now, and the bottom is done!! All prepped seam sealed stonechipped and painted! Got a few pictures off my phone. It's back on the floor now and the steering is also all hooked up. Going well! Next will be get the inside sealed and painted and then the bodywork.

Wahay!! I've lost my Virginity!!
Your inspiration is to get in a mag like performance ford or fast ford,
There's been meny a times with my si (mouse from fiesta si) where I gave up as things were going slow but I ended up not being able to afford bits and bobs and changes in family situations as it was in a lock up for ages as well if I know that now I would have gave my self a mental kick up the bum to get if finished, sadly my baby will never get to ride in it and enjoy it as much as I did
Things change quick in life so enjoy it and the car on the road as you floor it and feel the acceleration and sound of the engine I know as if got the same engine in my mk6 fiesta van

its what the guy above said aswell tho... i do have bits to do on it. but its then not having the cash atm to finish them jobs! like yes i do want to change the colour "iv got a da dave" thanks tho. but then i cannot afford the paint.. so then it feels like why do all that prep to just leave it sitting again. same with the fuel system i have most of it but need a low pressure pump.. cant afford one atm. its so frustrating!
