sold about 200kgs of metal today to a place called Fordpad, they weight and give you the value
i made £22.80 on alloy/aluminium metals from the likes of a gearbox, two rads and some others like engine brackets and a fiesta inlet
another £12 on steel from engine mounts brackets and exhaust mainly, was loads of it, 110kgs actually, shows how little steel goes for theses days
and then made £30 on that 1.25's Cat and manifold, silly thing was it was partly broken up, would have been worth a bit more fully intact
£64 or so in all i was honestly expecting to see little over a tenner, sow ith this found wealth i decided its been long enough, and dropped my RS turbo bonnet off at RS body repairs up in Cwmafan not far from the village
the owner/son of the owner has a rather nicely restored Rs turbo, he said the engine is running around 200bhp but hes got plans of a 2.1 zetec turbo soon, hes adamant he dont want to remove it from the forecourt and use the roads as hes too attatched to let it get damaged, i can empathise
engine bay looked stunning, something i aint seen yet was a sanded back flat inlet top with EFI emblazed in black
ST24 front brakes with grooved and drilled discs, rear rs2000 set up, 16" mondeo Si alloys and gel ford overlays
its alot better looking then when i was up there last, looking sorry for itself with tatty paint and stuff growing on it
quick pic

anyway, the bonnet will be done by end of friday, ive kept the vents as ill give them a coat of Satin black, theyre gloss atm, and if they look poo it aint hard to get them two sprayed to match
also my mirrors are up there for the casings sprayed, but i wont be collecting them till the end of the month
glad i can get rid of a dented bonnet at last :Q
