West of Scotland RSOC

Hi folks, thought I'd post up some pics of the progress carried out so far on the 3 door.
It needed a bit of work when I got it a couple of years ago, and I've been building up a bank of parts to progress the work.
Main things done so far are the engine bay and insides have been sorted and painted, white indicators changed for orange, new rubbing strips fitted, dealer registration plates, new wheels, new headlining, front brakes, rear cosworth badge sourced from Sweden and probably other stuff!

It's been a bit of a slog, harder to get parts than it used to be, and more expensive too!
I've other things to do over the winter to keep me busy such as more engine bay bling, refurbed 4 spoke rs steering wheel and so on (keep finding stuff in cupboards I've forgotten about!)

looks a totally different car

Sandy and Chick have done a nice job on it, and the wheels are just perfection on a 3 door

car looks class John, well done

What a stunner of a car John, a real cracker.

got to give those rims a 10 out of 10 georgeous

Very nice indeed John those wheels looks right at home but I don't envy you cleaning them

Thanks guys, the 3 door is a hard car to put wheels on that look good.
In my mind, the only wheels that suit are the originals, the split rim style or escort cossie.

These rims are replicas, but I got them made and machined to my specs, so standard 35 offset on the front with 7.5 width, but 25 offset on the rear and 8.5 width.
This ensures they fill out the arches nicely, and amazingly, I haven't had to do any trimming, so well pleased with that.
