looks good with those wheels Trev...poor photo though

gearbox was finished this week and then when being tested it wouldn't go into fifth cleanly...stripped down and found a broken internal part of the selector ring Luckily enough I have a couple of old boxes I destroyed a few years back so hopefully one will be suitable.

Insignificant..... but decided on red brakes

'scuse the dirty car, one of the downsides of buying a new build house before the development is finished, flipping builders

Decided to strip the pre-facelift bumper off today to allow me to test fit the facelift bumper and trim it to fit the fmic.

Naked, again



Bumper after the final trimming



I was left with this pile after all the trimming



Prep and paint next

Did you have to do much trimming behind the fog lights?

It needs a chunk taking out of the bottom of each side. Its hidden by the fog covers in my case.

6 years and a lot of fun. Time to move on.
I've had an urge for several years to build a couple of mk2 Fiestas (before they end up at silly money to buy!) so thats what the next projects are. One is even going to be a dedicated track car!
