Yeah I can get a few of these. Anybody interested fire me a pm and I will sort them out. It won't be next day delivery as i'm not making anything here, just helping people out.

Steering wheel looks good bud, had one fitted to mine, steering feels much more precise

New ones on

[shedrool83]

These arrived today



Have things to do tomorrow but i can see everything getting put on hold and these begin fitted

[shedrool83]

Seats are in

[shedrool83]

Put two uniroyals on the front which has sorted a good portion of the terrible road noise from the autoguards that were fitted.
The rears are still autoguard but can live with that for the time begin as the are as new,also got the tracking done so my steering wheel now sits straight
Swapped the handbrake handle for a focus st170 leather one.

[shedrool83]

Headlights done for now might do something else with them at some point



On the look out for a facelift bumper ,splitter and arches then i'll start thinking about respraying it.

[shedrool83]

My first attempt of painting from a gun not really happy with the results but hopefully it turns out ok after a wet sand and polish.

[shedrool83]

Gave the faded gray bumper a few coats of forever black
