Hey there!
Been a while now since my Newbie post, that also didnt include pictures, this mainly because of the early dark evenings we are getting now. Wouldnt call it mouth watering project with sexy pics but its something to do
Anyway going to post a few now & over the course of doing little bits to it. Wont be going over the top on mods & stuff mainly due to the fact im skint, im saving for a mint Focus RS & the other half will murder me if I blow our holiday money
Drive wise since the newbie post it gets better, I actually opened it up and got a little heavy on the gas pedal after the cambelt was done and my god I had a big old smile on my face. So impressed with the handling that I wonder how much fun the FRP's are in comparison... and possibly consider an upgrade rather than RS/ST.
Anyway 1st real work before doing anything else - CAMBELT!
Tiny pet bro in law - perfect for getting under the car I recommend to anyone!
Quite clean
Notice scratch on left side bumper, this is on my list or fixing when come to do the small rust bubble on arch & the rea bumper has some scrapes
Around the same time after CB replaced HT leads & sparks & while up on the jack removed all the foam felt stuff from the arches to give me more time come winterproofing. Its damn noiser without them, will maybe modify them (cut away the bit that sits on the arch lip) and put back on.
EDIT - List of things to do or done
Cam Belt - Done
Oil Change - Done
Ignition - Sparks, HT - Done
Broken Indicator - Done
Interior tidy up
General body work tidyup - In progress
Rust - Archs & door seal
Winterproof
Brakes
Coolant
Uprated Speakers - Ordered
Front Windscreen - Replace or repair
Exhaust - Done
HCV - Burrrrrh - Ordered
New plates - Cant stand plates with garage numbers on!
Mondeo 16's - Ebay bidding fingers crossed

Anyway its not much to look at, i got some more to go on but im going home!!
Timbo!
