been asured it will be finished in two weeks, its just been wet sanded and is ready to be painted now. Also have ripped the headliner and more interior bit for him to now spray the inside aswell. Went to car connections in wallasey and they are going to autyomotion this afternoon to price up giving me a full cream leather retrim, door cards, seats, headliner, carpets and a few other small bits he qouted me £900 for the seats so am expecting it to come in a £1500 for the lot. Was going to go for half leather and half alcantara but I was steered away from it as was told it was difficult to keep clean. Will be getting the retrim done when I get back of holiday in a few weeks.

SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT
They did my mk 1 xr2 9 years ago and did a top job.
Won me 2 second plces in a comp i shouldnt of been in.
should have my car this weekend. Started on the engine side of things today. Purchased a rover t16 inlet and injector rail which I have started modifying to fit. also the t3 turbo I purchased was sha.ed to say the least so have now got a t25. I am going to purchase a adapter flange to get it to fit the escort rs turbo manifold. Also I need a zetec inlet if any1 has one they want to donate.

1st pics shows the parts have collected for the zetec turbo build 2nd pic shows the t16 manifold end section removed, when I get a rs turbo throttle body I will be machining a ally plate to suit which will then get tig welded into position. Using this manifold as it has end fed injectors unlike the zetec plus it prevents me using the crossover pipe. 3rd pic shows the actual manifold going from the rover block to the plenum chamber. The engine side flange is going to be machined of and a zetec one welded into position. This works well as the ports match well. 4th Shows the t25 turbo nicely obtained from tony 220(thankyou tony).
Note: If any1 has a old zetec inlet manifold they want to give to me or sell cheap so I can destroy it please let me know.
nope not as of yet but he promised me if it aint done by friday then he will do it for free. Bit annoyed though that it was out in the rain the other day.
seen the colour on the car today and to be honest it was crap. It not the actual paint job but the paint. It looks like a plain dark blue. dont get me wrong it looks nice but not as impresive as people make out looking at it it looks like a standard colour from a ford etc. Maybe I would have been better to do it with that than pay £600 on paint.
just read your whole thread, sounds like its gonna be a wicked car You said its a Kandy right?> if so they probably put too many coats on it, as Kandy gets darker and darker the more coats you use, my roof has one coat, was gonna leave it like that, but couldnt resist the flake, i've got about 10 coats of paint on my roof alone!
