I know it has the bigger brakes as when I changed them for new the pad was over size for the original that was on there so I bought 288mm discs and the fitted perfect. someone in the past put the 280 on larger calipers. not sure if its obd1 or 2 engine though?

where do you get the bigger ARB?

thanks this is all new as I have usually had fords before

Looking good. Shame about the h/g going, but it will give you a chance to play with the head when its off. Open the old girl up!

Does your engine have 4 wires on the maf, or 6? Maf is located after the air filter, and before the throttle body?

then a guy at work said he would do the top coat with his big compressor and good gun. only thing was this would be a practice for him as he has only painted big marine barges before

and im gutted to say it shows lol it is orange by colour and definatly looks like an orange with all the orange peel!

as for the sun strips. I can see infront and road but thats it. the thing I struggled with on track days was late afternoon and low sun, and the sun reflecting off the dash hence flocked dash
