That has to be the quickest response I have ever had! Glad you like it Dave, you know how long I have had these ideas, it's just good to be able to turn it into reality

Haha, deserved a quick response!

Cant wait to see it in the flesh now, will be scouring the car park at central day

As you say, I know how long you have been after doing it, it was worth the wait

1800 engine next then?

looks gorgeous mate, the wheels look great, but maybe wrong for the cars colour imo

love the attention to detail too, kudos mate

wheels will defo split opinion - but i like

simply stunning matey

will be good to see you again come the show season

I think the wheels suit the car perfectly, colour is just right.

Right then, as some of you know I've been away on a little holiday for a few months, but now I'm back and decided to update this thread.

She went off the road end of Jul 12, mainly as I had too many other things to play with (Mk2 Fiesta, Mk2 Golf). I still have them but thought this year I would bring her out to play.





I gave the battery tray a small tidy up before fitting the battery





then rolled her out to have a better look







Unfortunately the bubbling on the rear left arch has got a little worse



So it was at this point I thought, I've had enough, I'm going to remove all the goodies i.e. coilovers etc, sell them and then sell her as a standard Si.

That was until I saw Phils Si being rebuilt with the spectacular paint etc and thought why not? I just can't get rid.... well not yet anyway!
So I went online and ordered these



Hidden in there are two rear arches, so over this year will begin an overhaul. Watch this space ............

Looking good Dave, really pleased to hear you are keeping her and showing some love, these cars are worth saving as they are so few and far between nowerdays

I assume you are doing the welding yourself? Will it be done for ford fair?

Also, is that cone filter big enough....?! (this also means you would definitely be cheating if we compared the two on the rollers again.....)
