Seen that a couple of times over here, and it does look fairly smart indeed! I think it might look cleaner with the bonnet more standard looking perhaps, or more of a curve above the lights rather than the hard straight lines

I have used a set of escort mk5 morette's.
Also tryed cossie morretes but the are a bit longer then the mk5 version.
Fitted also a custom front, fiesta bonnet catch and escort headlight partd.

I have a new rear pi spoiler that need to be fitted. The mondeo/fiesta one isn't my thing.
Also the engine need to be replaced for a 2,0 zetec turbo.
Interior needs some mods, flocking, doorpods..audio, black headlining et.

Lots to do :-P

Some parts back from the powercoater :)
only thing I didn't think off, removing the bearings in the lower arm... so I could buy 2 new ones :bonkers:

Image

Image


Also sand blasted the spaxx shocks, and sprayed the primer on them

Image

Sandblasted the inlet ( did it before mounting it on the head )

From this:

Image

to this

Image

Also tried the frst throttlebody on it
Image

Image

Painted it high gloss black for a nice finnish

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

only needs a new gasket and polishing the top

This looks fantastic! Some great work had gone Into this ! Don't suppose you have some pictures of the Inside
Of your inlet manifold ? The welded together box . I'm thinking of doing this for myself but note sure if you need angles/trumpets etc for airflow
