Ian71 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 As you can see progress has been slow due to other commitments, body kit fitted,drivers side mk6 seat in place, passenger side still gotta be welded in (changing these over is a long job) still to do, roof wont shut by 20mm, gonna have to get a new one, front brakes gotta be done,exhaust, interior and some electrics (skittles & dad) when time. Decided to run the cvh engine and perhaps get the zetec done over the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now has an mot,and all the silly bits that may have taken weeks have been done in a day. Besides a good. Clean and a few bits of trim its almost ready to go back on the road after 7 years.
