After sifting through a few electrical dramas today,I got the RS fired up again today did a few laps of the block and give it a wash. Apart from the roof linning and the rear windows to be fitted its looking near where Id like it to be for the time being. [url]  [/url][url]  [/url]

No,not quite But thank you,maybe next year with a respray it will be closer anyway,I spent most of this afternoon tidying up the carpets,interior and door jams,touching up all the black outs and details. Hopefully if Im a good boy next week it will get its new roof linning. And fix up a little electrcal issue I need a good ash tray and switch panel blanking piece if any one has one spare. I dont know if I will fit a stereo to it as yet,I luuuuve the sound of the pinto especially when the dellortos are fitted.
