Sooo here we go a very little update as not had time or decent weather to do much, 1st job... taking all her shoes off for a few days as I sold the thors





Then after a good 180 mile round trip to Graeme's picked up her new shoes





Much much better!!!

Then after that had to go out but when I got back had a couple of hours spare so thought id get on with something else



HOW BAD!!! lol



Front bumper off ready for the R bumper





And then the unfortunate



So not much done but its something

Hopefull next week will have the S60R manifold on with the Focus ST225 Genuine Victor Reinz Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifold Gasket which I need to cut down a little and then all being well the 19t will be ready and also on, then GWE Exhaust 3" monster, and I mean a bloody monster will be going on all being well Exhaust looks small in the pics but had a sneaky peak at Graemes and its HUGE!!!

Stay tuned folks

your going to want a 960 throttle body & a 3" rip kit to go with the 19t, really transforms it

[daza-b]

Got throttle body sat here and rip kit on stand by lol

[V70 Graham]

Sounds like it's all coming along very well.

[Biff]

So after Grahame stripping his bbs & painting them he sells them on?
I think that looks mint on those mate, shaping up to be a really tidy 855. Hope I can follow suit with my v70.

[stribo]

Coming on nicely Daza.

[Tomcat]

That's some amazing progress bud, I'd love to be making that sort of progress on mine. Look forward to more updates..

[daza-b]

Thanks guys and Biff u have a saffy.... ticks everything in my books haha

[theflyingbrick]

[daza-b]

[iancho]

Great read Daz and incredible progress!

I'm enjoying every minute

[daza-b]

Thanks buddy just shame about today's weather

[daza-b]

Little more progress today as had a little better weather than others lol

So here we go:

Gave the inner arch a really good clean ready for spraying and it looks pretty good, can wait till i get it sprayed up





Then the cleaning spree continued, why stop there lol so gave the car its first once over since iv had it, and occording to Antz, 1st wash since December 2012!!! lol looking better already





Even gave the engine area a spruce up



Next job was to mint the wheels that I have off and they came up... well let the pics do the talking!









Thats all for now, tomorrows job will be to take the other ££££ed wing off and do the same on that side

Little progress is some progress and when all the other parts turn up over the next 2 weeks its going to be massive progress

Stay tuned folks!

Why are you spraying the inner wheel arches ?

[graemewelch]

coming on nicley. if was me id stone chip the arches.

[daza-b]

Why are you spraying the inner wheel arches ?

Just for a piece of mind really, i can see a couple of rust parts and with the rust of the arch if I can get it so that the dirt etc to more "fall off" as such with paint and lacquer may help with the rusting in certain areas.... plus it will look nice before wing goes back on haha
