cheers mate will, shud see a little more progress over the weekend

 

As said mate, i've seen worse! good luck with it, and i love that colour

 

was this on the road not to long ago?? seen 1 in alvaston near spider island,
ive got a 2.0 zetec out of my combi van with wire loom & box,got afew more bits of mk4 escorts,quads,90 spec bumper,turbo kit,dash,exhaust,turbo bonnet but needs repair,suspension,rear disc's on hubs with calipers. if ya ever need owt.

 

hiya mate it could well off been this car has it orginal comes from derby, and thanks i maywell need a fair few bits

 

cool,just pm me if ya need owt

 

rite guys time for an update bin busy to day

 

found a small hole, not a prob
some one tried to fillisome one tried to fill it before, did a crap job

more rust, not to bad thou
rust again

rust treated





it filled


and it painted, ran out of paint and was gettin dark, will finish it off on thursday

 

hopefully goin to pick up a full throu ashley exshaust and some spax shocks and new rims at the end of the month, still stuck on engine thou

 

oh dear and yout think that is a good repair. the hole's need to be repaired with new metal not bog pal the filler is porouse and will take on water from the inner arch and blow the paint and create more rot and make it even worse than it already is.

 

this is a temp fix im goin to order my new archers at the end of the month,

 

no offence mate but your goin to need those arches,just hope you no someone handy will a welder,what like is it underneath?,inner sills, boot floor,chassis legs etc etc as there has to be more rust than what you hav found

trust me,there will be!

 

yes my mate is a professional welder, and there is a small hole on the sill, ive knocked at it but its not made it any bigger, the rest is pretty much sold

 

can any one tell what this colour is, as i cant seem to find it, or the paint code

 

The name of the colour is Pacifica blue. I think the paintcode is XSC 2360 CM. .

 

scrap is the word you are looking for

 

cheers mate, badnews theres far worst cars in worst state out there so whats with all the negtive comments if u dont like the car dont comment

 

heres some new pics with it being lowered and with clear indicators

 

what wheels are you planning on getting?

think you shouold leave them on and lower it more tbh

looking good btw

 

cheers mate, fox racing 5 spoke, heres a pic of the wheels

just a pic i got of the net

 

I admire your passion for doing this Don't like Orion's full stop, but good on you for following your heart.

 

cheers mate keeps me out of trouble lol

 

are the wheels on it the 80's rs option things?

 

If you post pics of your car on a public forum you have to take the rouh with the smooth.

Before you spend any more money on stuff like suspension and indicators i would get all the bodywork sorted properly.

 

i have no idea lol

 

the body work is being done the week after xmas,

 

rite hopefully will have the new engine at the end of the month a 1.8 zetec, should be fun, thinking of lowering it abit more, mayb some mondeo rims

 

Shouldn't this be in the resto section of the forum ?

Sort out the way you post your pics as well

Steve
