Havent updated for a while so i thought id share a couple of randoms with you .







New dash and non air bag panel (its different LOL)





WRC crank sensor bracket (for the tacho sensor)





Was suprised how well the focus boot trim/carpets fitted into what is essentially a heavily sierra boot ! (still a bit of fetling to make it perfect!)
