very good job
especially with corrosion

[DaveyBa8]

Haven't had any updates in a long time, progress was slow with college commitments and work, but she's nearly finished now, few days from being mechanically finished and road worthy, but I've some body paint issues to tackle first before I put it on the road.
Here we go:

[DaveyBa8]

Stainless steel mani and down pipe. Sorry only photo I bothered to take.


Rear adjustable toe arm and resonated decat.
All fitted and sounding sweet. Started up first turn of the key. After 1 year. Although I had to rebuild the altenator as it wasn't working.


New cat converter for the test.


Rear brakes have been rebuilt and fitted. With stainless steel brake lines all round. All I've left to do is bleed the braking system and I'm looking to buy 2 brand new handbrake cables. New front windscreen and that's it then.

[DaveyBa8]

New battery, drop links, fuel filter, distributor cap, plug leads, plugs and ITG panel filter. Also put on stainless steel hose clamps.

Man I which the under side of my 5th gen looked like that!

Amazing work bud

[DaveyBa8]

Thanks very much man I must get a picture with it all together now.

Funnily enough I had the same adjustable toe arms fitted to my 5th gen on Wednesday. It's a shame you can't really see them on the car though

[DaveyBa8]

Yea it is a shame, let's hope the spherical joints hold up I think a male ended track rod from another car might fit straight in there, was having a look before I bought, think it was an old ford model that looked like a perfect fit.

Fantastic work as always, fair play to you man.
