Most of this is in the intro section but I thought I'd start a thread here as the ball is already rolling on some changes.
So where did it all start?
This was a purchase on a bit of a whim. I've got a Mondeo as a daily driver and am fortunate enough to have secure storage where I work. Whilst at a house party - there was no one else wanting a cigarette at the time - I jumped on my on-line banking and had a very compelling offer for a loan. A quick flick through the Classifieds and the rest is history...

After a quick clean, wax and polish:
She did come with an additional front splitter which is ridiculous and not for road use...:

Exhaust off:
Just dropped the manifold down to AtSpeed in Rayleigh and should be done by 5pm.
In the meantime while the exhaust is off, going to do an oil change and service due to the extra access.
Potentially, I should be able to make this evening if all goes to plan *fingers crossed*
