Bit of an update! Pretty much most of it is near completion, just got to finish the mk3 fiesta dashboard and plumbing the gauges in! Engine runs etc but still smokes (even after changing the valve stem seals :S ). Going to Tommys next weekend though for them to sort it!!!! Apart from that its near on ready for its mot!!
Few pics I took this morning...
A couple of my smokeabout golf turbo gti! Nice little runner, flew through the MOT the other day. On the hunt for a set of alloys for it still though!

UPDATE:
Well managed to put the engine back together today, fired her up and she started first time! Looks like no smoke either . Only problem I have is a fookin leaky sump gasket!!!!! I HATE doing them and have never got one right first time! Hopefully got me mate coming over tomorrow or Wednesday to redo it for me!!
Any put the arches etc back on and dropped the car down to its correct height. As it stands there there is absolutely no rubbing, I get full lock as well! Because I will run the dampers relatively soft though I will be raising it up a tad so they don't touch. Does look a hell of a lot better now though! Even temped to drop the back down a bit more!!
Took a few pics today after washing the bird shit from it.....
What can I see through the gate.... :blub::blub:
Made a blanking plate for the old filler neck hole which is no longer in use....
Bumperless - I actually quite like it!!
Numberplate fitted....
Inside nearly done, just the centre piece of the dash to fit....
There is still a few niggly bits to finish so it won't be at FITP but will aim to get it all sorted for the rest of the shows this year....

UPDATE:
Now the engine is all sorted after doing a cambelt change and putting some new plugs in her. Took it round the block and it all seems ok, boost comes in without a problem and the wastegate chatter sounds 8) 8)
Still got some niggly things to do like replace the starter motor, fit harnesses, need water and oil temp gauges etc etc but most of it is done!! If all is well and I have no more hickups the car will be going to ford fair (without the new plenum though as it wont be ready!)
Taken a fair few pics whilst it was out in the Sun!!
You can see how low the front is on this pic now! It can go lower and I get no scrubbage, even on full lock!!
This idea was Bombers and I stole it from him so biggup Bomber for the idea (sorry mate!!). I think he's changed his fuel setup now so won't be doing this!!!!!
Inside is getting there, off to America in a couple of weeks so will get some gauges from Summit sent to the villa!!!
Not sure what to put on the doorcards yet (graphics wise). Tempted to leave them as they are!
New exhaust......
People keep asking me whats left to do so thought the sticker would give them the idea its not completed!!!!!
Exhaust wrap and me new Cossie T3!
Couple of bay shots, does need a clean though
Finally a couple of the old shitter on its new alloys!!!! Still waiting for my coilovers and poly bushes to arrive for it so soon she will be lower! (2-3day wait has now been a month!!!!)
