i think santa needs to get u a decent camara for xmas lol keep up the good work if ur lucky i might pop down one night and give you a hand

[rofulton]

Long story but I got the original airbox off the car tonight Might be able to fit that myself

Scott you cheeky coont
I had a good camera (broke it) and a good camera phone (broke it) if you feel generous for christmas ................
If you venture down I'll buy you a chippy

Took the drivers side skirt off the night and the sills are fresh as I think the nearside arch is a bit scabby but I'll get to that soon. Took off the backbox and clean clean cleaned

I am useless at this but I'll mince my way through it

[rofulton]

[rosco]

standard wheels all the way mate!! mine are gettin refurbed cos rst's look soooooo good on them

[rofulton]

I'll prob stick with them
Got other things to buy first anyway
A pic of my airbox Shame its been drilled at the back cos its mint and has the rubber bit too
Seeing if Ford have orginal fittings, phoning back tomorrow



Might lose the K&N stickers

[SHIFTY]

Nice 1 Rory!

[rofulton]

I've been so lazy the last few weeks
Bought a new tailgate off morry (cheeRS mate) genuine Ford and even beter its not got a wiper hole as I was gonna dewiper it anyway I wanted one for ages!

Got these gems too from an orion ghia

After some headlight protectors when I get some more money together
Getting a quote from a bodyshop to sort some bits that annoy me. Don't think I want to tackle that side myself
So much to do and so little coinage!

[rofulton]

Just for Scott I got a new phone with a decent camera
Got my fans ready to fit so I can get some cooling on the car after months!


I bagged and tagged all the bits I took off, left them in vineger and they cleaned up well


Not much else.........................til tomorrow
