Thanks for the comments , and 8 ball, cannae believe when i seen the other focus up at Knockhill , but was good seeing it going round the track, same suspension too, and it looked very planted on track

some updates

New AIRTEC radiator and intercooler fitted

Scan guage and switch panel all fitted with the FIA spec battery isolator fitted too

Also some pics of the front suspension all fitted with new polybushes and track rods, track rod ends and balljionts

Was it jst the same mate? its the usual pish that dnt see any till youve got one yourself

That front suspension looks a bit shodily fitted :lol:

Looking good Boss, shouldn't be long now.

Guaranteed, you will move the isolator switch tho

Too near the steering wheel IMO, and on your gearchanging hand.
Good chance of knocking it on track.

Just an observation!!

Not being critical mate.

Stoo the isloator is miles away, its just that the photo shows it maybe being closer, and the way its mounted you cant knock it out as it turns anticlockwise to isolate

If anything the cage is quite close to the steering wheel, just need to drive it and try , see how it all feels, as its gonna be a totally new experience from the Fiesta

Thanks for the comments folks, yes pleased with how its coming together

Imsy and Andy, wont be ready for the 18th , ill be taking teh Fiesta up to Knockhill and Oulton PArk, as I have soo many tyres for all weathers i cant go wrong

Goafer no plans for flocking, just some carbon door cards to finish the trim this time

Stevie , yep Fiesta is still there, no real intrest in the car complete for sale, so may break it in the new year, but will be using it for a couple of upcoming events

Tahts the polycarb windows all fitted , just waiting on the sealer going off before removing the tape and taking some pics , ill do taht tomorrow, the bronze polycarb looks great against the grey of teh inside of the car 8-)

Big thanks to Hunter for taking the old windows out, and fitting the new windows and doing the band round the window to give it that OE look
