Looks soild mate, good buy

 

im well chuffed with it just got to sell my gti to fund the turbo bits

cant wait

 

Hi bonus fans, anyone know if the black/silver rub/bumpstrips down the doors and quaters as seen in Josh's above are removeable without leaving any holes?
Need to know as i'm looking at buying one, but don't really like the look of them and don't want the hastle of filling in holes, i'd rather just wait for another car to come along which doesn't have them.
Thanks guys, James

 

yes they are just double sided on

 

love this thread lads top bollocks , my first fast ford started life as a 1.6 mk4 lx and i turned it into my rally toy come track toy stage 2 cvh twin 40s stripped n caged

mick

 

looks smart mate.......just need to get the bumpers glossed to match the wheels i recon

 

i aint got it no more..

plus it doesnt look like that now, its an rs rep!

heres the one i had after the red one..

before..





after..





and the current one ive got..

before..





after (well still aint finished)..

 

im 16 and restoring my escort mk4 1.3 popular with all that my shit wage (£2an hour (day light robbery)) will allow has anyone any cheap rerstoration tips cheers
restoration is slow progress as i only have about 2 1/2 hour a day to work on the car and shite pay to work with.

 

no pics on the comp yet

 

lovin all the sleeper cars and round of aplause to bonus boy for his mint cars

 

So why is it that the rubbish models last so much better than the performance ones?
My eclipse wasnt even undersealed and is still minty fresh under there yet virtually every 'local' 3i I see has rot creeping all over it. The mere mention of the words 'sunroof' and 'battery tray' brings owners out in a cold sweat.

 

a little update on my bonus
just put avo 30mm kit on and the rs rear drums its made a huge difference to handling

before




and after





cheers
mick

 

so glad tos ee this topic back open!!

and in regards to why the less performance models seem to last longer its because old people have them sat in a garage for 15 odd years looooool!!

we currently have a bonus sleeper in the build process which is slightly worse for wear but should be good fun

 

get some pics up tony

itll be nice to see another sleeper on its way

cheers
mick

 

yeh its slow progress my mates a bit skint so we gunna be putting money together for the engine first lol

 

mine is nerly done had it started today just need some daft things no and a rad

 

heres a few pics ive just found of my old bonus turbo..

grs cooler and twin 10" kenlowes peeking out...







and a arty shot of the arch...



oh i do miss it

 

That was a very good shell chap, one of the best I've seen! Shame about the shite engine conversion that company did

 

tell me about it..

it was abit of a shoddy conversion, i wouldnt say it was very bad conversion at all to be honest, but for the money i spent it should have been alot better...

 

For the money you spent mate I could have built you a proper weapon! Anyway I could do with that money you owe me

 

im on the lookout for another basemodel if anyone has one for sale

 

ill keep my eyes peeled fella

 

hi all, just after your opinions. since i got my mk4 i have always wanted white alloys on it. so which do i buy? i would like to keep to genuine ford alloys but i love 5 spoke mo's. but quite handly i have a set of s2 and gti alloys. what road do you think i shoul go down? money is also a big factor which is why im unsure about the mo's at £700.

cheers stu
