Front end of mondeo rebuilt.

Well after geting a set of damaged headlights through the post I went back to the scrappy and picked up a nice set of clear later specification front lights.

With them and thee other parts I spend Saturday morning rebuilding the front end. So now it's back together.

I also got a 6speed intermittent stalk and a power roof. The stalk is on :) .. To sorted the roof yet.

I have a pair of good rear calipers to fit next weekend and with that done and the Exhaust sealed up at the cat BYPASS it will be ready to trundle to the MOT.

BRING IT ON!!!

Well I have spent a little time fixing things...

We got a replacement bonnet grill and bumper for the mono, and started work building that up.... And I got a correct colour lower dash for the scorpio to replace the one damaged in the breakin. I am slowly amassing the parts to get the scorpio through the mot.

Passed :)

I spet saturday morning going to the scrappy and hunting for a decent rack for the GT. Fortunatly a 2.0GLX was in ( only a handful of other sierras though! ) I had to remove the bonnet catch to open the bonnet but the rest was straight forward...

After collecting 2 bottles of ATF, I set about changing the rack, which wouldhave been 15 minuets if it was not for a bolt that did not want to slide back in.

But in the end it went, and the car was taken back to the MOT station and got it's ticket after a quick check over :D YAY!!! total cost £79

I also started stripping down the front end of the mondeo, I worked out how to get the headlights and bumper off, but I could not find them in the right colour at the scrappy. Trying a different place next weekend.

Also sourced a tie rod for the scorpio, not cheap from fordparts but at least it's right!
