James,why all one colour? Cost? I wire up loads of lancias and they use all black cable which is a bloody pain in the ass. It is nice when i get a colourfull loom to do lol.

after seeing the rim imprint you need some stickers:

built in england
rebuilt in ireland

Glad to see there is a light at the end of the tunnel, looks brilliant in the engine bay. Shame to read about the engine issues.

That is a proper smart looking car now.

Forget how decent a mk1 mundaneo can look.

Top job to Martoon and the present owner/restorer

Can you keep it on that plate or do you have to change it for an irish one? I know you were looking at different ones ages ago.
