Thought i'd update this thread!
Well around october last year, i had a slight mishap at work lol, which resulted in this -
A compressor was kindly bounced off my bonnet :P
So this was bought
Brand new bonnet from Ford
I also manged to get brand new door mouldings, well all apart from the drivers wing and passenger rear door. Got new window weather strips and a new bumper splitter.
What started out as a simple repair ended up with me deciding to get the entire front sprayed - right into the rear doors.
Left the car down to the bodyshop at the start of feb and still don't have it back 4 MONTHS LATER!!! Gotta love painters!:P
This is how it sits as of today - new bonnet on and painted, bumper off and rubbed down, door mouldings and weather strips removed.
The car was being rubbed down as a i left and is being painted on wednesday.
It looks a bit sorry for itsself lol
Door tops are prone to rest on sapphs, mine are out of the box
(apart from one tiny spec of surface rust
)
I'm also getting the inner lip of the wings and the slam panel repainted satin to tidy things up and retain the standard finish. The seam sealer between the slam panel and wings is being redone too. My car has original wings and panel, but at some point they were repainted and whomever did the sealer needs shot lol, its a hash job (N)
I've also changed a few bits in the engine bay as well.
Binned the spec r belt covers for a mint originals, got rid of the swirl pot, fitted a genuine RS 500 cooler and inlet pipe. Bought a roose hose to fit between the cooler and t34, finished in the RS 500 style, bought a full compliment of blue roose coolant/anciliary hoses. Lastly i bought a pro alloy header tank and a set of vibratechnics engine mounts.
I also fitted a poly rear beam mount - whata difference that made! Really tightened the car up!
Oh and i replaced the 16" super t's with 17's.
I'm due to get the car back this weekend (at last!!!
) i'll give it a good clean and once i've got my new bits fitted i'll take some up to date photos and post them up.
