Looks great as always. Really coming together nicely.
I recken keep the handbrake upright as you can get more pulling power on it then if it were as original as long as it's not in the way of the gearstick.
If you grabbed one instead of the other it could turn ugly quickly and embarrassing.
Awesome stuff.

This thing is smokin hot. Then motor looks sooo good. Better than a zetec imo especially with that snail hangin down there!
Are you going to get an all alloy radiator for it?? The OEM one looks out of place :D

thanks matt, just need 1 more fitting for the turbo and its all done, was hoping to get it done today and drive it to the club meeting tomorrow night but it is what it is, yeah will most likely keep the handbrake vertically mounted so easy to reach quickly

nah no alloy rad, money needed elsewhere, and this one is a triple core, never overheated even on 40+ degree days being flogged.

Carlooks sensational Mish..
Such attention to detail, the overall theme just works....
That exhaust... just artwork.
Looking forward to some new dyno runs with the power adders.
