Re: My 1.6LS - First car
Had a nice busy day today. You know its been a while when the inside of your car had spider web going the from windscreen to the back seats, drivers door to the gearbox tunnel and from roof to the floor. And hundreds of tiny baby spiders running around everwhere. Needless to say they are all taken care of .
Did more welding today and managed to tack on the new front valance on the car.

Hi,
I've just read through this thread, and it's good to see that you're making progress on the car. It looks as though it's been a long, hard restoration with plenty of drawbacks on the way. But you know what? It will all be worth it in the end.
Keep up the excellent work,
Andrew.

Indeed, I've been doing bits and bobs that i haven't taken pictures off such as the bonnet and drivers door. Not to mention the engine being halfway build for this too.

Dirt cheap, Around £260 for the year full comp. A hell of a lot cheaper then for a 2.0 tdci mondeo.
