The headlights look really different, in a good way. Wouldn't mind a set of those. I don't think it was a car from this forum, I don't recognise it, he gives a bodykit manufacturer a little kick about quality. He has a changed the bulk head ever so slightly to allow the Zetec unit to be set a little further back, build quality looks tidy enough, but the engine really needs some tlc. It looks like it has just been lifted straight out of a focus & dropped straight into the bay. I thought that he would have at least painted the rocker cover as it's a feature car ?

I was wondering about those lights as the may solve the indicator problem!

I'm sure the builder is a forum member as they would have bought the bodykit off spud or Nathan.

It's baz-r's car in CKC magazine; SVC, Europa or CBS will likely sell those headlights.

Tonight I spent a bit of time making my dashboard. It just needs to be fitted into the car. The bolts are being reached by some black dome headed bolts as soon as they arrive from ebay.

I will eventually put in a carbon fibre dash as soon as someone makes one wide enough with the radius on the bottom.

I'm almost happy with the result. I wasn't going to use the padding underneath but when I measured my radius I was slightly under the 19mm so don't want to risk it at iva.

Here is a photo.....




I will post a photo of it in place and that will be the interior finished apart from the harnesses (not enough in piggy bank / car fund) at moment for those.

The roll bar was from Nathan at nts. The rear stays were done by my mate (bought the tube off ebay)

Everything has been going brilliantly with my build over the last few weeks. My list seems to be getting smaller and smaller...... However tonight I have cam to the conclusion I may need to buy some new seat runners.

I bought 2 pairs of these about a year ago http://www.kitpartsdirect.com/produc...versal_Runners and there is so much movement in the seats I cannot ever see them pass the iva. I am therefore looking for an alternative...

Has anyone else had similar problems with these runners?

I'm therefore thinking my runners are duff so happy for any suggestions. Do you thing it would be ok to weld the so they don't move?
