I'd totally lost interest in it, but getting the head back on has given me about 10% of my original love back.
Might tiger stripe it if I keep it

Might have to rethink the boost pipes too, the old one from the cold side of the turbo ran across the slam panel, that'd get fucking hot now
If I run the pipes the other way, turn the top hat round and have the cooled air coming up the cambelt side it'll be a bit better I reckon, should be neater too

I reckon it would be better if you had a gerbil that took a gulp of air from the turbo, then ran to the inlet and blew the air in, then ran back to the turbo and took another gulp of air, then ran back to th.................................

Point the engine at the back wheels and then it can be Shimano Gatebil-tech.

I now have some bonnet pins (which need fitting) to stop the bonnet flapping about at legal speed.

does it not need to work before it can do any kind of speed, let alone legal speeds?

Bonnet is pinned, the engine is pretty much back together too
Cambelt will be on either tomorrow or Friday.

Pics of the pins, they need a final tweak to sit 100% right though, although I'm not too bothered if it's low at the front as long as it doesn't flip open 
Realised 100% that I need to redo the boost pipes while doing the pins, which is a bit of a setback as I've got to fabricate an adaptor for the top hat to sit the other way round (Ford very kindly put the holes off centre so you can't get it wrong)
Getting there though.
Got a quote for some tiger stripes too

dark grey, black and light grey, on silver 
Got some non gay mirrors coming this afternoon, might attempt to remove the sideskirts today too, by whatever method is required. (I'm hoping for the axe)

Will look so much better once the skirts and mirrors are binned 
Tiger stripes and sort the boost pipes then enjoy it for a bit before you get rid again

No skirts, black mirrors and how the engine currently stands.
It looks so shit at the moment, it actually looks worse without the skirts on and I can't get the tigerseal off
Can't put the skirts back on either as they came off with some tin snips
