looks the muts mate. good luck on the 5 day turn around. i planned about the same when i started work on my swb, ended up spending around 200 hours in the end to get it where i wanted:hammer:

oh and thanks for all the very kind comments guys

well its been an age since ive updated this and to be honest ive done very little due to refurbing the house/work/bussiness and a little bit of lack of enthusiasm. however i have spent the last two evenings under the car starting to remove all the underseal, i wasnt looking forward to this as its real slow going and a horrid job but ive done most of the drivers side floor pan now. no pics but im sure you get the idea. to my surprise ive found very little rust, most rust bits have been caused by scrapes or poor jacking for an idea of the finish ill be going for have a look at this http://passionford.com/forum/pictures-video-and-photoshop-forum/336624-pics-of-restored-cars.html i dont think you can beat the ford boys for the quality of restoration and attention to chassis detail. never seen a 300 done to this quality, anyone else? my aim is to try and amaze Jeff when its back on the road as i plan my first run to be a shake down run to zedworld. now where did i put that elbow grease

ill be selling my bora soon. 2.8 v6 4 motion nice and quick, not bad on fuel and sounds fantastic

ill have to dig them out of the spare room, ive recovered the centre section of one in gray alcantara to match the rest of the interior, the std material is a bit of an aquired taste. pics in their previous home

got one to mate, im based in ludlow but can be in evesham

i have the recaro version r seats to go into my swb, they are awsome

id second the cat comment, the only mice we get in our house are the dead ones they bring in. in fact ill lend you my cat if you want:thumbup:

opse my bad, for some reason i read the v8 in your name and thought it was bantumbunny, in which case nice job mate, oh and dont rebuild your engine :slap:

120 miles on around £50 is about 15mpg!!!! you should be getting near double that on a long run

nice one mate, now get that engine rebuilt

i got the alcantara off ebay, its not cheap though, about £50 a meter i seem to remember. i only did the center cushion on my seats though, they are oem recaros with removable center sections.

i used 4 m of alcantara to do the centre of the front seats and all the rear panels and headlining. mine is the non estate version though

ahh, now i see

looks like a bit more than a few bolt on bits

did you test it with the throttle open?

i live on the border too, 10 miles and im in mid wales. i drive down to pembrokshire a few times a year, the drive is always a treat

2 lol

cool, just what ive been after. must be black though

thanks guys, your kind words are always a help
