certainly looks better than what it did eh mate keep up the good work

 

cheers for that,when i get it back ill take some more pics and get some of the engine

 

Looks much better ,many would have scrapped that looking at the rust ,well done for keeping it alive

 

thanks for that,when i got it i didnt think it was that bad,but i was determined to bring it back,although a few people urged otherwise.

 

Looks good!
Good luck with the resto

 

Nice one mate has it had a rear boot panel put on at some point in its life.

 

im not sure to be honest

 

whats your plans for the car?
looks like it needs some tlc with the welder these days you dont find many people that would take jobs on like that.

 

lookin good mate bit of welding to do tho

 

hi specky tigra yeah ive found a decent welder whos prepaired to take it on hes had it a while but i reckon hell do a cracking job,plus hopefully later this year going zvh i know a good engine builder

 

Know that feeling mate just done my keep chiping away at looks good on out side!!

 

not much more done as my mates welder broke,and ive broke my hand,ive now taken the roof lining off,removed the rear drums,and the front calipers,also removed the wheels,but 2 of them are fooked,the other 2 are fine,also bought a few bits along the way,new carpet,roof lining,spark plugs,ht leads,oil filter,boost hose,and some marangoni zetas.hopefully going to start welding next week,

cheers guys,getting there slowly but surely lol

 

Andy (specky) got a bit more done last nite,tacked the floorpan in.

 

come on mat why no more updates yet. wot u playing at by the time youve done it itll be tax exempt lol or is ur mechanic abit nervous about york....

 

great news today got the car passed at the m.o.t,not with out its troubles though,went to Andys (specky) last nite at 7.30pm to finish off the last bits ready for this morning and we hit a major problem,at about 9.00pm we were bleeding the brakes and nothing was happening,master cylinder was fooked,the only one at our disposale was a non abs master cylinder,so Andy went on a made one and took the abs off and re-plumbed the brake lines,eventually finishing at 2.00am this morning ready for the test,hes done a fantastic job and now the cars home,ready for me to put the interor back in,ill post some pics up later when ive had a decent nites kip lol.

lookin good in there now mate

 

looking good mate, keep up the good work

 

gave it a good wash and wax today

 

shes looking good now dude.

 

Nice, but I dont like friezes Chrome

 

Looking smart


Brian

 

Chrome inserts and badges ruin it mate...really nice though! wish id had the patience to do this to mine!

 

looking good m8 , loose the crome inserts & get some clear front indicators

 

looks really nice, good amount of work gone into that, deffo need to loose chrome stripes and badges though, imo

 

cheers for that guys,and yes for some reason i think your write,the chrome does not look right now,i think its since the wheels are now black may have something to do with it,my only concern is if i try to remove them will it damage the paint work.

 

not sure about the badges i would have kept it standard with a shell so well restored...... keep it up fella seeing other fords restored really makes me want to get the finger out and get mine done sooner!

 

you might be ok if you heat em up a bit with heat gun first id imagine there only stuck on, and get ur clear indicators out of box n fitted lol, got to agree with others it does look a bit tacky now wi chrome...come on mat finger out lol ...

 

if your up Andys tomoz mick you can give me a hand getting them off,and ill take them lights up too,i maybe lucky and he will do them for me lol

 

ye ill be there in afternoon, and we'll make him do em lol

 

got the clear indicators on today,will take some pics looks loads beter,im gona remove the chrome and go back to black,hopefully sort that out this week sometime.

 

 

just a couple of questions,what is the best way of getting the badges off to avoid damage to paint work,and would you go back to the origanal s2 bagde/sticker.
