The harshness of the concrete floor against the softness of the plastic bag really increases the visual stimulation for me.

I've never seen that drive shaft setup on a fiesta mk2 before.
Very simerlar to the galaxy shafts and they always break.

Can't you just use normal xr2 cv joints & drive shafts in that gear box or get a newer type bc gear box ?

Bit of a pointless update because I dont have any before pictures but today I refitted the dash board, just need to source a cigarette lighter and fit a head unit and it's done. Now all I need to do is put he carpet back in and fit a new hand brake cable then it's mot time.

This shaft is only on 1.4 cvh mk2s. You can just use normal xr/base spec shafts but I was given this one for free :D

I've been waiting on a pair of new hub nuts from ford and they came this morning so when I got home from work this evening I put them on along with a new set of discs. Gave it a drive round the front garden and it's spot on :aviator: now I just need to put the carpet in and sort the hand brake cable. I also bought a XR/Ghia centre console off ebay as the sport didnt come with one from the factory. In reality they're proper povo spec cars. I

Ignore the horrible steels. The spot lamps aren't on at the moment because I put them on the ghia :lol:

Yep, steels and hub caps as standard. They were white hub caps, I don't expect to find a set for sale. They are extremely rare.
