mess Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Finally got to the scrapyard today, picked up a black fabric power hood and all the gubbins to convert mine to powered, pump, rams, lines, loom etc and a 6000CD headunit, all for £45 plus vat Going back in a couple of weeks, to get front and back bumpers, then need to order a litre of juice green to paint everything. Need to put a new windscreen in, found a heated one at the scrapyard, but it does have a very small patch of white appearing at both sides.Might get it and fit it anyway, then crack it and get a new one fitted through the insurance lol There's an MG in the scrapyard with the splitter i want as well, but didn't have the time to get it today, there's also a decent black interior in there, so might grab that as well.

mess Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Went and got a windscreen today, also picked up a 3 spoke puma steering wheel and airbag, wiring for white puma clock, wiring for 6 speed wipers (fitted the stalk but not working properly), a few spare window swithes and assorted relays. Not bad for £14 Off back on Tuesday for an MG splitter and anything else i can get my greedy mitts on lol Got a set of 4 16" Cougar wheels coming next week, nearly new tyres, free of charge Having a day on it tomorrow fitting the screen and the roof, so i'll get some picture of her as she is now, might even give her a clean Does anyone know what the width measurement of springs for a Mk6?Reason i'm asking, the scrapyard has a set of 4 brand new lowering springs sat on a shelf, he knows they're for a ford, but can't remember if its fiesta or escort!If tey're the right ones, i can have them for £15 Will the front fog wiring already be in place or will i need to strip some out of a car?
