That under side is mint mate . is it your sand blaster or did you have some one in to do it for you

 

O nice drill

 

It was a fella in a town not far away from me has a mobile set up was handy because we [cossie 09 and myself] stripped her at our leisure and then booked him as and when was needed.

The car was treated with stuff i got my hands on that has a 25 year anti corrosion warrenty with it so thats her more than sorted in my time

 

where did you eventually find the rs option kit?

 

I got it from Cpssie 09 on the site here he brakes sierras for a living he has another kit in at the minute minus the back bumper

Wat part of ireland are u from urself

Cossie 09s number is 0 [+44] 7880896121

 

The floor was also treated with gravetic stone chip protection and then tried painting over it with rosso red 2 pac paint

 

Painted the full underside of the wagon in red and took a few pics of her and Cossie 09's tasmin blue 1.8 lx with 26000 genuine miles and origional paint work

 

Looking good mate, but jesus fooking hell support the car properly while working underneath it. A few scrap wheels and a brick is asking for trouble. A mate of my colleague at work was killed the other day while working under his car that wasn't supported properly.

 

hi mate/the car was supported very well/it was on a spit,the old wheels were there just for holding it still.cheers

 

Yeah it was well secured it was tested 2 the limit over the heavy winds around autum time and thank goodness for the tyres under the motor in at that time

 

that looks really good (y)
the blue one is very tide aswel :P what engine is planned for it?

 

the red 1 will have 4x4 2.0 t/cam turbo...the blue 1 has a 2.0 cosworth engine ready for it.t35,63 83ib blacks msd chip,swedish etc,cheers

 

Yeah i'm going for the twincam engine as wat came in her and through time when the wallet gets the 5th injection set up latch the turbo onto it

Supension up into the back end and just a run around struts etc in the front to move back and forward

Work has started on the suspension etc got the beams and arms got them sandblasted and then painted and this is how they turned out
