    New spal rad fan fitted:






    We ran the car up and the fan cools as well (if not better) than the standard kenlow fan assy.

    These are available to anyone interested. Its smartens up the engine bay a treat.

    Well in the morning I brush my teeth, using mcleans. Then I use a wash in shampoo and conditioner. I scrub my body using a body shop mandarin soap.

    Hair styling wise I use V05 Matt clay

    Good idea! Next time it's dry and I get an hour I'll do that Trev.

    It'll hit a few shows this year I hope. Thanks for the nice comments chaps.

    It's a great 5 mate. A real shame you have sold it! I still think you need a slap for doing so

    Who bought it then?

    The new owner has got a very nice solid car which he will be able to enjoy for years and is a credit to you Dave. Well done.

    Sorry for the delay Mike! The last year has been horrendously busy!

    After selling my 5 (biggest regret ever) I bought mk1 focus RS. Got bored of that so sold it.

    I'm currently looking for another project to do. Maybe that phase 1 pearly if u ever decide to let me take it

    Re: My new 5

    You think you can come here, clean out the club for all its info to help you build a 5, sell it and sod off into the night and then come crawling back?

    Welcome, welcome

    Plenty of project 5's out there TC. Surely you don't want to do it all over again!

    It might be 5 project, but it would have to be a cheap one. Some of the prices I've seen on eBay are stupid money.

    Looks like I missed the tungy phase 2 on here
