Wow, series 2 (?) TS kit - not many of them around.
Car looks great and sounds like it will go well too. Any engine bay and interior shots (and rear bar/wing)?

Stunning. Get some bigger pics please. Most people are going the route of the T3 kit on their fortes, so I really like the idea of going the way you have. It's different, but still looks hot. Looks great

Sign up to Photobucket. You can resize them to 640x480 and it will come out perfect.

Any chance you could try some punctuation though? I'm interested in the info on your car, but it's hard to read when it's all one big breath - I'm getting old and am running out of puff reading your posts. If nothing else, just whack a full stop in every now and then! Can't wait to see pics of interior and engine. Also, what skirts did you use (T2??).

That looks outstanding...well done
 I like the T1/T2 much more than the T3. They are just such a classy looking car.

thanks alot once again guys for all your nice comments i will post up more pictures,to be honest it owes me just over 13,ooo not including purchase price , i got the ford cheap from auction it was stolen recovered and slight rear bingle.the point i liked most was the forte only had 42000 ks when i bought it.I bought the forte for $2,800 from pickles then stripped it to rolling shell and started to assemble it weekly bit by bit.The other thing that really annoyed me was that apparently i had to get a viv for the car even though it was purchased 2 years ago and no structual damge>damn that ****ed me off .

So about $16k + 12mths work all up? Sounds like a bargain for a such a unique AU.
I'd love to see some interior and engine bay shots. Can you tell us more about the turbo setup?

It's hard to tell, but it looks like an AU1?
