    Hi Dave,

    Unfortunately I can't view the photos at work (IT has a block on file sharing sites), but I'll have a squizz at home.

    What sort of parts are you after?

    no dramas was looking for a kh2 tx3 interior/to engine bay wire harness mainly,mine has been butchered to the point of plugs have been cut off,and wires twisted back togeather[xo][:(!][:(!][:(!],it has an alarm and quick track in it, it had a big stereo in there at one stage so theres probably double the amount of wires, in there than there should be.

    I picked up a kf tx3 rear garnish today(they look beter than the kh),a set of extractors,a pod filter mount and a few other switches and fittings of another tx3(I give that wreck abit of a work over) from the wreckers, need a dash as mine is cracked in a few places,some coil overs or supper lows,wheels,semi slicks,and a race seat and away we go. But I will have to put up with the red painted dash accessories/inserts/console for the time being!!!!

    cheers

    Hmmm, not sure I can help there. I do have the under dash loom if you need it, but not the dash to engine bay.

    Replacing the dash is fun [xx(]. All I can say is, make sure you have a copy of the Ford workshop manual on hand (they pop up on eBay from time to time - 4 Volume set). You need to pull EVERYTHING out to replace the pad. You may as well repaint the dash accessories while you're at it. They've gotta come out anyway. If you're planning on fitting extra guages etc., do it at the same time. Makes life a lot easier.

    Depending on how much you want to spend, these don't look too bad as a budget coil over:

    Wheels, well, thankfully there are plenty of fwd cars with 4x100pcd. My 16s came off a Civic. See if you can find a set of light weight 15s.

    yeh,tell me about it,my dash is out already( the previous owner just wanted to see what was under there I think and paint sh.it red) been there done that before,it sucks ar.se,.

    the interior harness extends out into the engine bay,plugs into the main engine fuse box then feeds the lights,and few other things a/c,gearbox, wipers etc....

    i found today unless,I get a KH tx3 harness some of the plugs will need to be replaced,as the fuel pump and sender plug is different to the kf tx3.

    As for suspension,Ive already been looking around and around $1100 is the going price for a full adjustable set up.

    cheers
