I appreciate that in most case pictures posted up are meant for ego massaging, well sorry previous comments about the roof bar are valid in my mind and good luck with the mini spots on the bullbar as they are going to get hit/damaged, the cosmetic treatment of the wheels etc IS good and the inside is looking more like the Enterprise everyday..I didn't comment on the clocks before but sure working is nice but the mounting suround really needs to be looked at. Better to replace the dash with a MK5 but then you would lose the amby pod. I would also look to moving the extra dials to the A pillar but again that is just me. I have a spare A pillar cover so when I get some time I will take that into Halfords or similar and look at the different Dial pod holders to see which make (car model) will fit the best as obviously one isn't made for a Transit pillar intentionally.

Time for a quick update. Got to do the chassis welding as i got to put a trailer on it soon.

I will do the arches at the same time.

I have now decided not to do a V6 cossy. i may be the proud ovner of a MOT failure sierra cosworth so i am thinking of fitting a yb cosworth. am i right in thinking it would fit with a pinto adapter plate :?:

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
