Part: something?

I've not updated this and I've not really been great with taking photos.

So the cars undersealed, tinted raptor the entire underside the correct montego blue. The subframes, arms, hubs, anti roll bars and some other little bits have been powdercoated. I've pillaged my SE for parts. BC coilovers, SVT brakes and a 6 speed gearbox (this is yet to be fitted). The car isn't as far as I'd like it to be along but that's all on me.

Got the diff cleaned up and all the bolts re coated.

Here's the rear subframe all loosely assembled with new wheel bearings and bushes.

Here is the underside with some more bits bolted to it! Quite proud of this bit so far.

So I've tried going up every Friday after work, with Christmas and stuff it's just not really happened. Hoping to getting the car home and painted in the next few months so I can get much more time on it.

I have the harsher versions in my SE, I don't find them uncomfortable. Plus when I do shows with friends we sometimes take the longer routes for a bit of spirited driving. I think they'll be a good compromise for what the car will actually get used for.

The SE someone had already removed them before I got the car unfortunately. I would like a replacement though for once that gets repainted. I'll need a replacement for the RS too.

The rs ltd yes. I even cut the old one out of the quarter panel that's been replaced.
