Awesome mate!
When will there be a frankenstein one that's either 4wd with lift or "WRX'd"?!
How long do you think it'll take to put back on the road?
Cheers

Time for an update.
A few months ago my 'Sport' white fiori died. Something gave way in the engine... not sure what it is, don't care as i've got a replacement engine:)
So i decided to fix the red one. Finally! Thats what it looked like when i finished it.
Oh yeah, it didn't stay long as i sold it and my L, (sig pic below for the few who don't know) to buy my Pootrol like Paul calls it..

Anyway, Now its time to get my little pocket rocket back on the road:) Decided i was gonna do it as best i can, So i cleaned the engine bay... Thats as far as i got today. Tomorrow i'm getting new seals etc for a freshen up and more cleaning:)
Half cleaned
Tadaaaaa!!
Guess what nest project is hiding under the blue tarp??
Yes Paul, I won't be as fast as your little supercharged one, but it will definitely be finished and drivable
hahahahahaha

lol, love these little things. I've had a couple of Daihatsu Miras over the years, pretty similar. Bloody scary on the freeway at speed...Strong gust of wind = unexpected lane change.

Good to see the Pootrol bonnet us also up
I recognise the SCA degreaser, but what is the green topped white plastic bottle - another super cleaning agent ?
Not your engin rebuilding floor covering is it - sand ?

Fiori looks great mate. Tarp looks wedge like.

Try driving in the wake of a 4x4 across a flooded creek bridge.
'tis fun I assure you, especially when your knickers turn brown as you begin to think "what if he stops halfway", I'm sunk.
You only do that once I tell you.

typical Pootrol/Ford.. always have the bonnet up
So is it the white vortex under the tarp or have you been spending some more dollars?

Not really, not time or money to spend on it at the moment. I was hoping to get a free donner engine from a grey L, but i'm not that lucky!

I should've known Paul has two Grey L's!
I thought you were getting a bit generous with giving away THE engine from the grey L...

My grey L doesn't have an engine but my SRT has an AWESOME engine
