djryan25

(ford fair prep)
1. Purchased some red recaro seat decals..
2. looks similar to one of the first posts i made, this weekend ive stripped and cleaned the rear arches (well 1 upto know) plus removing the liner to underseal the arch. while i was there i gave the caliper a quick paint. front wheels have been off today before the rain to clean up before ford fair.



lining off..





lining back on.. this took forever to clean

Fordmad!

Stunning motor!!!

djryan25

Cheers pal.

I love a freebie. From Fast Ford subscription. (not a bad freebie)

Cars now almost ready for ford fair. wheels have had a couple coats of wax. not a job i like doing. both seat decals are on. idiot for not buying the rears. just need to keep on top of it till the weekend, hopefully weather holds out. its forecast it to be ok. tried my lanyard too. seems to be ok.





just tyre shine to add at the show

Wheels look good! Are they nut caps or are the wheel nuts black?

djryan25

There covers pal. But on the front pic they are painted but covers will be going back on. Don't think all this cleanings going to be worth while. Forecast isn't the best for Sunday. It'll only be getting a quick wash at Ford fair.

djryan25

Nothing big but thought I'd paint the ecu cover to match the stealth loom.

djryan25

Well ford fair's been and gone.Bought myself a strut brace. not sure what im doing with it yet as i dont know if i want the chrome. iv got loads of ideas. might be a winter project.

Heres a few pics before and after









ocd kicking in. painting nuts and bolts again lol



lugs off

djryan25

i purchased a stage 4 intercooler a few month ago and wasnt sure if i was keeping it or using it. well for the time being im keeping it so decided to mod it a little today.

bought it like this,



then..





i wanted to use as little paint as possible for the fins.







painted the edge red (ford sunburst red) needs a bit of touching up but need to let it dry fully now. also left the rear paint free






i think it looked better all black but you need to imagine it fitted behind the grill. dont think ill be putting a sponsor on it.

This all looks rocking really starting to like this shape Focus

Fordmad!

Remember seeing this at ford fair, lovely motor. I remember it more because of the cossie behind.

djryan25

o yes i remember that cossie well. i want lol.

Fordmad!

For me it was the nicest on show. Although it being where it was and on its own was probably why!

djryan25

agree. a lot of nice cars but that was one of my favorites. id love a rs200 too lol

djryan25

think fast ford stand was a bit squashed up to be honest. i had a good day tho and it was good to see some of the fast ford team. jamies a nice bloke, and it was nice to put some faces to the cars. feet were knackered.

djryan25

quick video of the new sealant after just one coat. applied a second tonight. easy enough to use but time consuming as you have to leave it for a while. still got bits of the car still do do.



a few pics too

djryan25

finally got round to fitting the new stage 4 intercooler. what a ballache, cant really say there was much point in painting the edges red as you can hardly see it. all seems good tho so cant complain.had to modify the radiator hanger to alloy the new hoses to fit better. still solid tho. arms have seen better days aswell. a bit bruised lol.

taken off a pro sport intercooler

H3lsing

Well no pain no gain as they say. Looks like a good finish though.

djryan25

just a small mod today. fender bolts. sprayed them all tho so they match. used rubber wells in the scuttle panel, but they wasnt needed for the lights. there were a good tight fit.

djryan25

just thought id try my new toy out (wet vac) didnt hoover first as it looked like rain so i just gave it a quick go. impressed for my first go. thought my car was clean. the bucket was after two mats. there old mats until i have my custom ones made but come out ok.

It's amazing what you can get out with a wet vac, this is one of 2 or 3 container fulls of what I got out of my drivers seat, and I thought it was clean!

djryan25

I know it's suprising. When I've got a bit more time I'll have a good go with it. New jet spray to. Decided on a bosch because I've fell out with karcher. Never last. Just ordered a new snow foam lance to go with it.

sridgett

Looks good mate. I didn't see that at ford fair!!! But then did spend most of my time drooling over mk3 capris lol

djryan25

Cheers pal. Yeah it was on there on the fast ford stand. It was squashed tho. I thought they would have had a better stand to be honest. There was plenty of nice motors there.

Its looking well. Did you notice a difference with the new intercooler fitted.

djryan25

im not sure to be honest. maybe slightly, probably wont until furthur mods as i had a decent one on before. cars running bang on so thats always a bonus.

djryan25

picked up a second hand rear strut brace. used textured paint on the ends and gloss wrapped the bar, going to do the ends red and ive just ordered some 6d wrap.
managed to fit the larger bolts by just jacking the car up.

djryan25

finally finished off the strut brace as i wanted. 6d carbon wrap and red ends.



the mat always looks orange in pics, need to do the sub to match now.



little pic of the car at my mates, actually dirty but looks clean.

H3lsing

That focus must be stiffer as a corpse at the rate your going. Looks well though .

djryan25

Lol. Not noticed any difference to be honest. Wasn't going to bother with the rear as I didn't think it would fit with the sub. A mate was selling it so I did a test fit and it did. Can't resist a bargain.

PaulinhoT

All looks good

djryan25

Cheers pal.

djryan25

A few mods done. the best being the new steering wheel.

first of. the rear boot panel. it had a fair few scratches from the previous owner so i decide to sort it out. painted it black and added carbon fiber strips to each of the fins. nightmare of a job.







Next Was the front strut brace. i didnt like silver and never planned on keeping it silver, so i matched it to the rear strut brace. come out well to be honest. i like it, thats all what matters..







And Finally my new steering wheel. very happy with this.

sridgett

Your car just gets cooler and cooler dude.

djryan25

Cheers pal. Just small changes but make the biggest differences. How's your car coming on

_Jimmy_

Lots of nice touches there, the steering wheel looks really good

sridgett

Yeah they do your soooo right dude. Yeah not bad cheers, my mk6 escort is pretty much as it was at ford fair, but will be lowering it soon. Haven't really done much to the Fiesta. And i'm putting a new battery tray in my rs2000 today.
