Ben your old ages must be kicking in, no progress 
unlike you.
Get your finger out your arse
Here a couple of picks of me scooby since you havnt seen it yet, was totally standard when I bought it, fitted a baileys twin piston dump valve with uprated spring and full dump valve kit (got ripped of with the kit
), 3" de-cat down pipe, then 3" system de-cat aswell with a 4" back box, needed one new tyre so bought two bridgestones, battery was a bit poo so bought a new one, ever got some new mats from ASDA to match the interior 
thats it, havnt done anything else to it, Oh and a key cut

The Usual Suspect not decided on anything engine wise 
other than it will be a zetec still got months and months to make my mind up on that front! ive been speaking to Radders and Dave (CliffS1) and i am seriously tempted to let Tommy at Field build the engine
here's the rocker cover after a light coat of black
after a few more coats, looks crap in the pic, looks like its been terribly painted
final coat on and in the house drying off in the warm

polished the letters on the rocker cover today, had a slight mishap tho so needed to touch up some paint, note the shiney area near the ford badge but this will not be noticable when i lacquer it later today

bassboy like the sound of this something different, dont forget to keep us updated with pics as and when you can once i got the cage finished i can start to chop my dash to get it to fit in, need to do this because the door bars will foul the dash where they are.
