all of this for probably 10 times less then people would expect... :) paid less then 1,5 month salary... yeey :D they have 50% off week and i had some coupons/codes and a large order discount < great service (y) )

now 3 weeks of waiting until it is all in approximetly... also waiting for 4 MOOG parts, the R series lower control arm with ball joint assembly for front passenger and driver, and 2 new Mevotech Rear lower lateral arms, since those aredecomposing as we speak....
and then starting a build thread and get choppin'!

ow... and start asking for opinions about a thought since i have a spare Scorpio hanging around my garden now...

Found out I've lost my little plastic roof tab things :( eBay here i come... suppose it doesn't matter what colour because they'll be sprayed black to match my vinyl black roof anyway....
 
Took my bonnet off to give it a really good clean and get the machine polisher on it for a good buff and managed to snap 3 of the 4 bolts so had to drill and re tap the holes, bloody nightmare

I'm going to have to take a bimble to Manchester at some point, cross your palm with bribery and let you and your DA have a play with my car!
 
Lovely. Just lovely.

Your shut lines look perfect and unless the camera is hiding them (as mine does) not a stone chip in sight.
 
The body is far from perfect seems to have spent most of it life in a supermarket carpark but thank you for the remarks I just enjoy cleaning and polishing a bit of wet sanding thrown in lol
