    me to, the focus is badly needing a day or so spent on it, inside and out cleaning it. then its underneath with some black paint and some high temperature black paint to tidy up the brake drum, if theres one thing i hate its rusty brake drum,theres no need for it. a good rub down and a few coats of paint,and adjust the shoes while im there.

    I wish I could do the underside of the car but unfortunately I dont have a garage. Changing a bulb for 2hrs in the freezing cold was bad enough lol!!

    neither do i. its a job that can wait for a month or so till the temperature gets up a bit.
    ive fitted led number plate lights to it,got them from this guy on ebay, these are the exact one i got, they are super bright and spread the light evenly across the plate.
    definatly worth while if you have been thinking about it.

    super easy, small screwdriver to pop out the clear part of the lens, and pop out old filament bulb and fit new led bulb.
    that auction is only for one, you would need to buy 2 but i think they combine or at least discount postage. 5 minutes will fit them.
    not as bad as the headlight bulbs! :p:p:p

    Cool cheers. Just got a few final mods to do then my car is finished! Colour code and fit the door handles, lower the car, get the collection exhaust cover and finally refurb my Zetec alloys as they are in a state at the moment!

    cool. you wont be disappointed with the led number plate bulbs, just make sure you angle them propely when you fit them, so they shine on to the plate.
