Things are progressing on all fronts!
The sierra Sapphire has had an engine bay makeover, and the transmission tunnel is now complete. In fact all but a couple of tiny bit's of the welding are sorted. I did find out when i ran out of wire that the welder had been supplied set up for .8mm Wire, but the real was .6mm! explains some of the poor welding in the past... Anyway, it's starting to come together. More details can be found at the sierra owners club fourms.

The scorpio is still going ok, it was still poping indicator fuses again. So I have fitted a circuit breaker in place of a temoprary fuse which enables me to reset it rather than wade through endless 10A fuses.
The wife's ( Susan) MK1 Golf has not had a lot done to it. I did fit the passenger door and bonet of the other MK1 a few weeks ago and have tapped back the dent from the tipper truck and covered bare metal with primer. I am now searching for the leak that makes the car suitable for Olympic 1cm diving contests.
My MK1 has had little done, I am amassing the conversion parts which are prety much all sourced now to slot in the HUGE 1.8L Engine. I have also covered up the rusty spots left by Mark after he cleand off various paint.
All in all I am actualy having a fairly productive month so far.

January Update.
Ok, so it's the new year. What's happend in the last few weeks.
Well I have FINALY finished the transmission tunnel on the Sierra, it only leaves a few minor easy bits to weld up. So the fitting up is begining, I spent some time on the weekend putting the spigot bearing, clutch, flywheel etc on the 24V v6. And have adapted the sump to take oil returns ( it still needs fitting to the engien. ) So things are progressing in that department.
The MK1 Project golf is in "PARTS ACCUMULATION" mode. I have sourced Vauxhall calipers, 16V master cylinder and servo and fuel pump to aid with the upgrades. I was thinking about a colour change but decided best to keep it the same for now for ease and time. I have also got some front wings for it. I am bolting things back up that Mark removed.. The doors are needed as the car cover keeps blowing off!!!!
The scorpio is ok, managed a 800 mile trip to the folks in devon with out issue, even got nearly 30mpg! The indicators have started blowing again though :(
And the wifes MK1 golf is turning into an indoor swimming pool again, possibly due to the replacement door from the other MK1... I have yet to investigate.
