Moonstone 3dr Resto (MOT Passed 08/06/18)
Well today i collect my Moonstone 3dr which needs a bit of love
I collected my new wheels for it last night as the standard alloys that the car is fitted with are well rough.
New wheels
I of course will post pics of the car when i get home.
It does need a new dash, steering wheel and some ambers to start lol
Its only a stage 1, so a tad slow lol
Plans at the moment are to tidy it up and put my mark on it.
Steve

this thread has the potential to become the biggest thread in this section for many years, going by the big mans history and fair play in the right section too

Have you seen this!!!!!!
Looks like I have got my work cut out for me lol.
The pictures don't really do it justice I have just been down to pick holes in it (I'm a little green eyed monster!!) can't find anything wrong its exactly right where it should be for the cost of it and i can see it looking the way Steve want's it soon enough.
Its a good strong base car to start with ok it could do with a dam good clean but there is nothing stopping him from just using it right now and there sure is nothing there that we can't sort out and make it into a very very good car.
I'm impressed just told him at Ford Fair next year I'm driving the moonstone up and he can take his 4i if he still has it (didn't go down to well lol)
Can't wait to get stuck into it now
Well done bro (ya git!!!!!!!
