Sigh.
So small update on progress or lack thereof.
My mondeo got wiped out in the floods a couple of months ago. So I've had to source a new car, tax, and insure. So that's eaten 2k of build money.
We moved also.
Currently driving a Focus ST170.
It's ok. Comfy. Has a Recaro full leather interior. I think it's been lowered on a cheap set of springs because it bottoms out with a BANG driving over bumps. Handles terribly on uneven surfaces! Also it's seriously lacking grunt considering it has (or should have) 170bhp. My old Civic VTI with the same ponies was much quicker.
Still on target for summer unveiling of the 600+ bhp resprayed beauty.
