Up until now i have generally hung out around Fordforums. I purchased my car around 4 years ago after it basically fell in my lap. I had previously owned and sold a Xb coupe many years ago. The plan was to do the car up, but the farther i looked the worse it got, and soon turned into a major rebuild. Luckily i have a back ground in vehicle painting and metalwork and was able to do most of the work myself. I took hundreds of pictures of all parts of the rebuild , here are some to give you an idea.

Yes it was originally an Aqua colour as you can see in the engine bay. The darker blue was done with a rattle can, and would come off on your hands if you rubbed it.
