Any updates? Love this thread....

Don't post when you're not Lexspace himself, please

Ashamed of myself that I’ve been following this on and off since the beginning and didn’t realise there was an insta account!

This, MW’s fiesta and Binkey are the highlights of this place for me.

Just small updates for those interested , with most of my time recently being taken up with work , MOT’s on other vehicles , way overdue cambelt changes , new brakes being required etc etc , the only jobs I’ve really got done are small ones and barely noticeable , I have however got the car out into sunlight and given it a clean and removal if a good layer of dust , here are just a few interior pics now it’s a little more finished

This is quite possibly the best thing that's ever happened on the forums.

I don't have any amazing insights but I want you to know that I- and I'm sure countless forum-goers- are willing you over the finish line.

Great work! Keep going!

It’s brilliant. My favourite thread, wonder if Goodwood would be interested?

So a lot of the front of the interior is now complete and the front doors are back on , a small list of a few jobs left to do and things are looking serious


Before and After



With doors on

Thanks for the encouraging words guys , I chose one of the hottest days ever to do some more work today , tiny barely noticeable jobs but they all count right lol

A bit more sound deadening on a few parts
A bit more heat insulation on a few parts
Door hinge mechanisms adjusted
Front spotlight wiring completed
Front towing strap completed ( hopefully never to be used)
Bumper undertray mounting completed
Tailgate gas struts replaced

Keep the tinkering train rolling, looking brilliant so far.

As an appreciative adult, may I be one of many to say that looks brilliant and well done.

As a silly child, may I be one of many to inevitably say "do a burnout!"
