Cheers for the replies peeps!

Finally got my bonnet painted and fitted and to say i'm not exactly a bodyshop guy i'm well happy with it. Plus the paint job was cheap too!

 

But please ignore the off colour wing and gaps, i'd only just fitted it:blush:

Yeah mate, just got some Fiesta 3.5 subframes from scrappy for a tenner, knocked the studs out of them and they all bolted straight in.

Just remember when you get the subframed get the plastic trim that fits on the outside, the escort ones dont fit :)

 

Will have to look at this then if i need any help ya just round corner ;)

Alright guys, i havn't been here much for a bit, so i though id pop over and show you how the bus has been for the past few months.

 

A while back it decided to blow the headgasket along with the rad and the waterpump :vangry:

So i had a top end rebuild on it:

and back together, but filthy!

Then i tinted the indicator red, and the revese light smoked, the re wired the indicators into the reverse lens with an amber bulb to keep things legal.

And i decided to change the wheel clolour because thre seems to be alot of white car/green wheel combo at the minute.
