for the people thinking im breaking my S1 turbo

[davidfox280585]

in a way yes i am breaking it but im not,
the car will be back this time under a new id,
the previous car will be going to a member on here not disclosing any names as its not my place ,
the car will be back,better, faster and specced higher than ever before:thumb:
the offer of a 8 year restored shell using genuine ford bits couldnt be refused,costly but worth every penny:thumb:

few pics of my new shell during its resto

Very nice :cool:

[dc1984]

Thats going to be some machine when your done with it mate. Nice find btw.

[Nobby]

Id be **** scared to drive it, will it actually be a road car?

[cossienova]

Great stuff proper resto! Can see the logic behind what you have done, that car will be right for years and spot on with all the new genuine panels.:)

[davidfox280585]

cheers lads, yes it was owned by a bodyshop manager and all the work was done in house,
the front end was fitted on a car o liner for trueness,
ive tallied it upto nearly £2500 in panels alone as they are all genuine ford,

i would not like to put a price on labour cost, in my opinion to buy all the panels and do this work so far would be 5k,

i will starts a new progress thread when i actually start

cheers guys for reading

[brainsnova]

I like how genuine panels are full size and a perfect fit

[Nick J]

Absolutely Mint....... Looks like a PROPER job that!

Nick.
