Yup will be aero catches and boot springs to hold the boot lid down properly, need to try and mount it to the standard hinges, its very weak and and thing but once its got a polycarb window on it'll be strong enough!

Spent another afternoon at the unit today and got a few more bits done on the car, will hopefully be getting it back on the road by the end of the month...Fingers crossed anyway!! Made the job of the day fitting the wishbones and powerflex bushes, took a couple of hours to do but eventually got them in, chipped alot of the orange paint off tho as i had to hit them with a hammer a few times, but i'l paint them again when i get time.. Also fitted the freshly painted rocker cover, strut brace and re fitted the oil catch tank Then.... More Carbon!! made a neat little cover for the fuse box and fitted the carbon mud flaps, also tidied the centre console up Thats ir for this update, need to replace the anti roll bar drop links then thats the suspension sorted and ready to go

the car passed its mot yesterday so ive been blasting about in it all weekend.. ..few pics Car is off back to my mates unit on monday evening, having the carbon doorcards fitted, was going to do them myself but just havent got the time at the minute. Also need to find a good place that does wheel allignment, tacking is a fairway out at the moment, but even so it handles and drives brilliantly, so happy to have it back on the road! makes a change to the boring (but bullit proof) focus diesel ive ben using since october
