Cheers, Karl

 

Excellent job, white car's always look so smart when they get that treatment underneath

 

huge improvement m8 nice work there fella, got to do this on my escy over winter.

 

i got the stainless bolts from a place not far from me next to the metro centre, cant remember the name but i will find out for you m8!!

 

CHEERS GUYS!!!!

i got all the waxoil off with good old petrol lol, it just melts all the waxoil then when it looked all clean i used panel wipe to finish it all off then it was time for all the preping and painting begin

it has taken me roughley 5 weeks so far doing a few hours every night, im just wainting for my petrol tank to comeback from the paint shopind and need to get a few other bits and peices made then i can get it finished off.

i have finished work for christmas so im hopefully going to ge it finished over the holidays.
its hard work but well worth it when you see the end result!!

cheers
Andy

 

Fantastic work ,well done

 

Hi Marshin.That looks well mint i wish i had the time to do that to mine.Are you in any local clubs then.

 

thanx!!
i sure am glenny boy, im in the durhan rsoc group mate.

 

 

Cool, thanks for the reply mate, i'll be doing mine in the early part of next year and threads like this give me a bit of inspiration to get on with it!!

Cheers, Karl

 

yes just hurry i so i can get my car home !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks mint,, think this is my old car.. Are you Dave Eastons cousin?? You bought it of Karl from yorkshire... Looks well,, and a very good car youve got there

 

yes max and it s my nephew , will make a minter when done !!

 

Looking Mint!

But your spending far too much time with your UNCLE DAVE!!!!! LOL



Keep the pics comming

 

Thought so,, was superb before this will finish it off nicely

 

looks good but i wouldn't use stainless bolts. all the suspension bolts have a rated tesile strength & stainless bolts generally are nowhere near as strong.

 

excellent job

 

Looking good!!!

 

looking very smart.. well done

 

 

lol karl

when he was young he used to help me clean the cossie when i used to show that !

my sister wasd round the other day and just looks at his new car in disbelief !!!!!!!!!!!
( as if to say how much didi it cost and its in bits already ! )

i guess i had him cossie brainwashed as a child!!!!!!!! lol

 

Very nice.
Excellent work your doin by the look of pics.
Nice rot free chassis is good to see.
As above regards stainless bolts though,check the numbers on the bolt heads,think most standard Ford ones on a Saph susp mounts are 10.9,the stainless are probably only 8.8 grade.

 

Don't use stainless bolts for sus mountings

Have the originals re plated

"Life is worth more than shiny bolts"

Good job tho

Paul

 

as long as the bolts look gud thats the main thing!!
ive used stainless before and they were fine!

 

Very nice job there mate

 

Wow!! Looks very nice! Makes me want to go buft on mine

 

Don't come cryin on here if one of them snaps then and you smash car up!!!!!!!

I would have thought there was a reason Ford used higher strength bolts,deffo was not cause they look good!!!!!!!!

 

looks spot on with black and silver nice job

 

Looking pretty cool, gotta love white saphs

 

Dont worry i wont!!

 

Please do not use those bolts last thing we want to hear is a death and also you will not be insured so any passengers will not get a payout

Its your choice but fixings are a crucial part of any car!!

Paul

 

how many people have snapped a stainless suspension bolt ??

fair enough if he was going to rally it !

 

You think Ford would have used stronger/more expensive bolts than needed???????

I doubt it,as above,there must be reason for using higher strength bolts.
