after






































as you can see a little work is needed

 

Hopefully mum will let me use her camera as the mobby isnt to good.

 

get stuck in there son!

 

Are these seats out of another ford as the rst's i'v seen have different recaro's they are lighter in colour

 

look like normal 88 spec recaros to me

 

As above there 88 spec keep the pics coming

 

he's obviously seen the 90 spec recaros

but yeh they look like original 88 spec seats

good luck with the project mate

 

Nice project there

 

cheers for that peeps

i take it people remove the 88's and put the 90's in, been to a few shows and seen this.

 

yes its called 90'specced.people do it to their rs's but i dont find the point

 

Bit of a update well not much of a update just some more rot pic's,i'v done quite alot of rust killing i just havent taken any snap shots it's hard doing the work and being camera man lol but when i have time i will get some semi finished snap shorts

 

This is'nt finished as u can see i just red oxided it to stop any more rust.

 

A few pic's with new panels

 

WINGS I DON'T NEED WINGS
lol they have been fitted trust me,i'll get some pic's when it's light

 

As u see i'm a man of many word lol

 

 

I was just looking back at my pic's and was thinking back to the first day when the turb arived i thought it had no rust well maybe a little how wrong was i

 

yeh but its coming along now mate keep at it be worth it in the end

 

Bit of a update

i do need wings really

 

These are some of the repair that i had to do

 

This was my first time at doing arches as u can see the first pic is my first attempt and the uther my second

 

All the welding that needs to be done to the floor is now complete,so me and my little bro gave it a coat of hamerite to give it a bit of protection,It looks white i know but it smooth gray trust me

 

And last of the up dates for now are my bonnet risers hated by some loved by uthers

 

dose the bonnet look to high in that last pic or is it just me

 

yer it does by about 9 inches lol

 

plenty of air flow lol

 

Good project

nice work..

 

alright boyo!
hows the project coming along?

 

nice project mate!!

id keep the 88spec seats though, i think they are better than the 90's! just change the bumper and spolier to 90 spec as they are a bit more curvy!
