Hi all.

Sorry, i havent had any updates recently. Ive not touched the car in about 3 weeks as i believe when your doing stuff like this you need time away from it otherwise you will end up in the fooking nut house lmao lmao

Anyway, work was very quite today so it thought i would tackle some tinworm. Oh dear

First job was to remove the rotton tailgate, rotton as in round the bottom corner of window seal (Common Problem) and a fist size rust patch under neath where the rear wiper mount is


Then on closer inspection i noticed a small rust bubble so had a bit of a poke and it was bigger than i thought, so both the lower rear valence's will be cut out and replaced with new ones


Once this was done i turned my attention to the front




I didnt realise until Mixja from off here informed me that ford still do these as replacement panels. It also saves you fitting a full front panel and also means you can retain that all important seal where the slam panel meets the front wings. Made me a happy man.
The panels are £21 each from ford. Bargain


They took a bit of getting off but after a bit of swearing they werent to bad in the end




My good mate Monster is kindly going to fab me some new mounting brackets as these are fooked, i even made him a small template using galv sheet so it makes it nice and easy.
See mate, always thinking about ya lmao lmao


Anyway thats it for now.

More updates soon :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
