right forgot I had a project thread on here so a big update to bring you upto speed with whats been going on with ProjectAshBlack.cheers steve
**update** from 11/03.07
Got over to the car fairly early yesterday to make the most of the awesome weather.Firstly i finished priming the rear cage and then sanded back and primed the doorbars,I could then move onto the wheels putting two coats on the inners of the wheels and 3 coats on the faces.The weather was spot on,beautiful sunshine and no wind what so ever so i cracked on to get the top coats on,going to leave the wheels to set till friday then fit the new yoko's.Feels like the car is getting some where now and hopefully I can keep the momentum up.

**small update**
Nothing special,but I had a bit of time spare today so I painted a couple of interior bits that needed doing,Ive been meaning to do it for a while and with the sun shining it was the perfect oppotunity.I got the door handles for £2.60 posted off ebay which was a fooking bargain and was exactly what i was looking for.The handbrake cover was off a member on here,Ive added a few O-rings to the grooves for better grip.
**update 18.03.07**
Right guys small update of the work I did this morning,I had new bearings pressed into the hubs so I could then rebuild the front.Due to fitting RS2K wheels I needed to use 5mm spacers so I fitted the extended wheel studs and put the hubs and front GAZ on with a new NSF CV boot.I then put on the new disks and painted calipers and carriers and the front braided lines.Also fitted the rear cylinders so just got to put the new shoes on the back and its ready to come off the axle stands :Q

*update 01.04.07*
quick update,The back brakes are now built back up with new bearing,shoes and a new hand brake cable,and we put two of the new tyres onto the rims Although I didn't get any pictures
.I also painted my old rear strut brace out of my 1.3 and my new sparco front brace,as I didn't think the red would tie in with the rest of the colour scheme of the car.I also spoke the the engine builders and my head should be ready for mon/tues :Q .
**update 05.04.07**
went and picked up my head today from the engine builders after work,I bought the head second hand after it had already had some port work done on it,so it went in for a pressure test and skim.The head was advertised as being a vulcan engineering STG3 big valve head and after stripping it down the valve part numbers matched up to the ones on vulcans site as being oversize and the port work was said to have been done very well from the engine builder I used.I had already got my carbs, so the manifold was sent in aswell to be re-sculptured and port matched to the head.Also managed to spray up my passenger foot rest in satin black to match the rest of the interior parts.
couldn't resist having a mock up :Q
not really an update but the brake lines have now been fitted so were ready to bleed the system and put some new DOT5 fluid in it then we can fit the remaining two tyres and drop it on the floor ready to set the coilovers up.I'd got the seats im going to use a while ago off dan (purple_fiesta) and dug them out of the shed today ready to go over to the car to be fitted.They only weight 9KG including side mounts and subframes so should sacve a bit of weight over standard items,I'd also purchased some brand new second hand harnesses off a member on here to go with them,and i added a couple of ford racing decals to the back.soon be ready to put it in for a MOT :Q
