hi all

i have what i like to think is a tidy mk5 fiesta, stripped out, race car.

however i would like to get it as close to concours standard as i possibly could.

has any one got any advice for me that will help me getting it up to scratch?

regards

si

 

putting some pics up may help mate.

when the cars clean, take picture of the outside and inside then post them so peeps can see where your at.

What level are you heading for???, i only say that as there are levels of concours but the top level know to Ford people is very high.

Have a look here or levels http://www.rscarshows.co.uk/

 

do they do stripped out race cars in concours?

 

Depends what comp your entering in, if its Ford Fair then i would say yes, carnt say iv ever seen a striped out concours car.

Its not an RS so RSOC concours doesnt come into it.

 

The Sierra that took 1st in Cosworth class has got the wrong number plate font on it ie post 2001.....get it in the modified section next time Mr 3dr Owner

 

The wrong font, lol, how anal is that.

 

they never pic up on stuff like that do they?!?

 

lol you having a laugh? Standard class they pick up if your wheels have got mismatched production dates on. The number plate thing imo is blatantly obvious....letters too small being a modern font, along with the later modified letter D being used.

 

i can see i'm gunna go far in this....lol

 

find something constructive to spend your time on instead.

 

go pub...works for me

 

Yup tracking it instead sounds better imo

 

would sooner have a very clean car that i aint scared of using!

 

Get your self down to national day tomorrow mate and see for your self how concourse is conducted.

 

i would love to, but i'm currently sat at work and will be until 7 am, so doubt i'd be for it!!!

how long does it take for each car to be judged?

 

where do you get hold of the ford logo mats which people put on the floor in front of their car?

 

pop up on ebay at times...around 50quid tho iirc

 

i heard you have to register the car first. ( well rsowners concours anyway) not sure about other clubs and shows?. I was almost going to do it with my fiesta, but am just of to tidy it up, then thrash it round tracks. better to drive them then have em doing nowt.
