As it was a lovely day today i took it out of the garage for a dust down, its the first time i have had chance to take pics since its been back from the bodyshop.

Both sides of the car have been re-painted and a whole rear quarter both sides have been replaced and a delocked bootlid.

U must have spent a lot of time on it and it looks worth it!!!

 

looks sweet on them rs500 rims m8 well done

 

cheers

 

looks well nice mate, i got a few pics of it myself from ford fair

 

Looks smart fella, what spacers did you have to use in the end? You pleased with them?!

 

5mm mate as the ET is only 5mm difference, can't understand why you had to use more i am pleased with them as there's only mine, yours and rawli's diesel that's wearing them at the moment that i know of

Post your pics up mate, mine are a bit shite

 

h196jne spotted your car while i was walking around but had no clue what you look like to say hi

Looked amazing very subtle

 

Don't worry mate i parked the car at 8am and went back to it at 4pm so i didn't spend much time on the stand as i had family on the rsoc 4x4 stand so was on there quite alot.

Did you manage to get the cab done in time???

 

WTF stand lol??? I didn't see a stand it was just parked on the grass lol, sounds like spending time with the family was a good idea

Did i manage to get what done????

Oh, yeah, the cabriolet, i think its still on the drive i havent checked for a while

(No in other words)

 

After driving 600mile to ford fair, i jumped in the car last week to drive 2 miles and this:

It seems that the 5mm gap between the rad and actuator wasn't enough after all


So the car was left like this


Went back to it today and fitted this:


A respectable gap now and the rad can still move forward a couple of inches, enough room for a T34


All back together and ready for its MOT in the morning, hence the big plates

 

How have you made the extra clearance then?

What are those water feed pipes off aswell? They look a lot better than the standard items?

 

h196JNE, i saw this car at FF a real nice example

you have done a VERY good job, it looks tidy smart but also has that air of meaness about it

 

Cheers sassy, comments like that make it all worth it it was a shame that yours didn't make an apperance have you any idea when it will see day light again or will it go away until next year??? is that omex fitted yet??

 

Mine was present ay FF, looking a little worse for wear, she was on the Pf stand I hid her at the back

She went in to be repaired last week so should be all done by friday, and all going well we will be taking her to ND

Omex is on hold as I said to Matt he should spend some more time on his car, the omex can wait for now I'm thinking of selling my car soon as im looking for a newer car

 

 

I never saw it, will look out for it ND

I know what you mean every time i have to spend money i just think 'new car', but what you get???

Cheers rich your projects seem to be coming along now

 

yeah mate, they do, wish i could get out there and do some tho.. not long now to wait

 

good stuff fella

 

 

Im looking to get a Focus RS before Christmas

 

Nice christmas present

 

I had better get saving

 

I'd say...

Car went for its MOT before and passed only needed a strut top mount bush on the drivers side

Thats 3 years and all its needed is CV boot, Steering rack boot and now a strut bush.

 

 

Can't grumble about that

Were you planning on answering what i asked further up the page?

 

Which pipes chavman?? the one's on the turbo have been removed and replaced with small spacer as i've done away with water, and the water hoses are standard.

NOTE, there is a massive difference in engine temperature.
