Fetch the sunglasses

Rolls · 16-03-2007, 03:54 PM

sod polishing all of that at a show for a laugh!
looking good though matey!

redrsmk5 · 16-03-2007, 04:07 PM

Thanks all.....cant stop looking at it all layed out in my house

Rolls: One of the reasons why ive had most of this stuff chromed (apart from th obvious ) is that polished alloy and sometimes stainless goes dull over time with heat etc, with chrome you just wipe it you dont have to polish it up all the time.

cos im worth it · 16-03-2007, 04:43 PM

Alright matey, they look the dogs dangelers Martin, your motor is going to look A1 mate when your finished. your going to be a busy lad this weekend and next week then mate!

redrsmk5 · 16-03-2007, 04:47 PM

Cheers Mark

Yep as long as weather allows.... i hope to have a good year with it this year!

THE RADMAN · 16-03-2007, 04:50 PM

looks good,will be a lot easier than trying to buff the alloy parts all the time,have you done the cam cover to match?

cos im worth it · 16-03-2007, 04:51 PM

A busy year with it this year CLEANING!

redrsmk5 · 16-03-2007, 05:04 PM

Radman: No i havent done the cam cover as i thought that would look a bit too much ( as if this lot isnt

) and i also like mine in the body colour as it is.

Went round last night and it was all laid out on the floor, looks the dogs danglees!!! Can't wait for ya to fit it all mucker, am looking forward to the first outing for the Cossies, gonna bring back soooo many memories when we used to cruise together (In then Fiesta XR2i's) down the A50 to Donny only to be pulled by the local plod and get 3 points lol.

Bring on the shows I say!

stundies · 17-03-2007, 09:02 PM

Cheers for all of posts on this thread

Ps German Tony: if this bloody weather doesnt sort itself out i may take you up on that!!!!

Thanks Martin.

Rolls · 18-03-2007, 01:25 PM

Is it fitted yet?

WE need pic's matey!

auralisRS · 20-03-2007, 02:08 PM

That all brings back memories, all that chrome layed out, reminds me of when I did my Cobra, have a look at
http://cobra.enjoy-design.net/images/underbonnet.jpg

Can't see that turbo snail staying as intended through, the heat will change its colour very quick. Just my humble opinion.

Will look great through, watch the bolt heads when you do them up on the chrome bolts, they flake if a badly fitted spanner is used.

redrsmk5 · 20-03-2007, 07:02 PM

Hi Auralis!!

Have finished the car today and didnt damage one bolt!! hope youre wrong on the snail but ive got great confidence in the chromers that have done it.
