Havnt been on a run yet but engine all running and sounds pretty sweet! Maybe it is a genuine 63k after all.
The road test will happen soon as I get the rear lights back in so I can drive it around my block.

Engine runs sweet! SAI removed and blanked the head, just need a resistor for warning light!

Got it in work now and started lining up panels for side tops

Yes it is! Great spot. Still can't decide if I like it or not? But no choice now as its welded all the way across the roof and caused me to warp the roof a bit so it's staying now

Just another update
Got the bed side panels cut out around arches so I can take some measurements to get them cut on a guillotine to get them perfectly flat for the side panels

Got the sides bent to shape today!
Couldn't decide wether or not to just weld them to the sides/top or put another long flat sheet over the top.
Gone with a complete flat sheet over the top I reckon, give a lot more strength

Been a while but a few update pics!
I've cheated on you all and bought a mk1 focus RS so finding it hard to not play with that over the bora!
