Fitted N/S rear glazed door today bugger of a job as Ford had changed the lock mechanism slightly so the later ones wouldn’t latch so had to change them for the ones on my old door
All on just needs tweaking

This was a good read as I'm doing the same thing to an 06 van. Those floor mats look well neat. Did you say you lifted the actual flooring as well? I'd love to replace mine as the drivers side has a hole in it from previous owner and is obviously allowing any water to go through.

Well I’ve come to a very sad decision that I am gonna have to let her go :cry:
Mostly due to my new job being a lot more full on and other home commitments
I will be listing her in the next few weeks once I’ve fitted the Focus passengers seat and sorted all the bits out to go with her
