Ford KA MS Design
hello all !
i'm new to the forum but i'm also on; www.cruise-herts.net and www.fk-oc.com
i thought i'd put a thread on that's on the other sites and show you what's been going on with a KA i have, iknow it's a girls car but you can make them manly, even more manly if you drop something big under the bonnet
anyways, i'll try my best to re-call some of the thread
When i first got it;
because the rear bumper was already slightly smoothed because my brother used to own it he was smoothing the MS Design splitter kit into the standard bumpers, it was partially done so i got all the rear done then set onto the front
- you can see an Orion in the pictures, that's my brothers he's on the forum lurking around somewhere i should think :P
i then set on doing the front bumper and smoothing the kit, along with the number plate recess
it's nearly there added a laguna splitter, just a few more sanding down in the rough parts and a few more skims of filler and it'll be finished;
MS Design skirts primered ready for paint;
Sounds;
Then i went out onto changing my exhaust and trying to custom make a Superbike exhaust, i got fed up in the end and bought a Sportex 3" outward rolled in the end lol;
I then got started spraying a few things :P;
Airbag cover;
Steering wheel air bag cover, door cards, handles and panels;
Literally 2 days before xmas the car wasn't finished and i had my driving test on the 30th October 2010 the Core Plug in the bottom of the block flew out, me being an idiot and starting it with no coolant in it (forgot about it lol). So the gearbox, flywheel, clutch had to come off to replace the bloody thing!
new brake set;
anyways, got everything done and busted my bum off to get it ready, bumpers on, skirts, brakes, pads, and a set of wolfrace wheels !
The wolfraces come off a peugeot 106 so the offset was well off, scraping eveywhere in the arches i then changed to the MS Design wheels, much better - stuck a Down & Out KA Sticker on the aswell along with some pressed plates
oh and i decided to strip the rear out and put a strut brace in the back :P
My mate popped over with a Black RS2000 wheel so i thought i'd put it on, and i could really see this going somewhere - Track Sl*g? :P
He wouldn't sell me his set so that day i tracked some down and went and bought a set of my own
i was going to do them Black but the standard colours really growing on me !
