g'day The engineer im using has no problem with it as long as i changed to remote fill, and he is an RTA Signatory and very strict (DR Mackay and Associates)Newcastle. I thought if i can pass with him, then it will pass with anyone.[%] quote:

Nah, the Escort stayed at home, we took the Laser up there. Hope Michael enjoyed his stay. Newcastle is a great spot, spent 4 years at uni up there, loved every minute of it.

g'day Nico Stripes came off the internet from www.fordstripes.com Its a uk mob. Cost me around $230-250 about 2 years ago. Interior is all sheet alloy covered in black vinyl. - Lightweight  I'll have to post some interior pics after i finish the alloy (ECU) glovebox.[}:)] Ive also modified the fuel tank filler to external and added a leaf spring in as a tramp rod (slapper bar) as i noticed that it was bending the diff housing mounts in trying to lift up its nose under hard acceleration. Great fun Cheers Josh quote:

Regards, Nico

Just a few additional shots. 1 The front bumperettes changed to a full bar with overriders - (a bit more bling) 2 My turbo dump pipe after i really gave it some. That was with a world cup cross member in the engine bay which sits the engine in solid. Couldnt believe it. I thought i had done the brass button clutch when i heard the scrapping noise under the car as the exhaust dropped.[88]
