turbo-herman

so here's the first update.
today i began to clean the rockercover and chargecarier and spayed them in primer.
hopefully i can show you at the and of the week how they look when there finished.

here's how the look so far.

Rs Baz

what the hell is all the about

front bumper is rare as fook isnt it

i beleave its the same as the one's used on the 4x4 s2 turbo

clean looking car

turbo-herman

cheers mate.

i bought it with the blowoff valve like this.
when the other engine is ready for it's swap, the blowoff valve is going to be at the hose to the chargecarier. i also don't like it like the way it is now.

and about the front bumper. i dont know if it's from a 4x4 s2.
all i know is that it's from suhe. i thought it's an german brand????

clarke5700

The prototype s2 used a 3door bottom of bumper grafted on to the s2 bumper

alright guys. time for an update.
ive got the charge carier almost finished. i've just put on some detailwork and i'm pretty pleased with the result. just need some blank lacker and then it's completly finished.

the rocker cover is coming on nicely to.
i'll show an pic when i've put the detailwork on that one.







hope you'll like it

don't mean to be negative but your gonna regret painting them white, what else you got planned?

turbo-herman

i had the same thought in mind but i'm willing to take that risk. if it wil turn out keep getting dirty i'll paint them another color.
i just wanted to have someting different them what everybody else have.
so i do hope they stay clean. lol

other plans are never sure. i've got more project's waiting like mine mk3 xr3i cabrio. that one wil be an rs turbo as well. i'll hope to start that project next summer.

Rs Baz

keep up the goodwork mate

ive posted up in the past about the 4x4 s2 do a search intrest reading i think it made 4 page's

Rs Baz

here is the post, have a look at the pic of bumper all most the same

turbo-herman

thnx for the link baz.

i've read this thread and i can't realy say that the front bumpers lookalike.
maybe a little bit with the hole's on both sides at the bottem but that's all realy.

cant realy say i like the bumper either. it's kind of strange looking with the thick top bar. cant be any good for the cooling system either.
but hey, that's just my opinion.

arn't there any uk rst's with a front bumper like mine???
there are a few here in holland wich i can show you guys.

weel here then the pic's of the 4x4 s2 and mine.




and mine




what do you guys think

Rs Baz

thay are diffrent get some pics up of the others you have

is yours a geniune ford iten

turbo-herman

i don't think it's an geniune ford item. i believe it's from a german manufacter named SUHE but i'm not sure.
here's some pic's of some more rst's with this front bumper




one with a big mouth.



this is also a nice one.
i do have some more pics but i dant have this on this computer so tah

Rs Baz
