my car came off the road sunday 30th january, for a complete makeover and heart transplant...

bought lots of bits.. which you'll see soon...

not going to say to much at the mo, but you'll see my car change here and there from time to time.

havent done to much yet but here is the story so far....

here's my car, before i started....




at this stage it was just slammed on avo coilovers, has a trust airfilter and magnex zorst..

first change, mk 4 fiesta heated windscreen cheers jon



me and my other half were both in a grudge match at brunters on the 28th january, we travelled up to york the same day - went to drop my car off with lee @ fusion

stopped at a services after brunters and took the rear seats, parcel shelf, door cards, and seat belts out,took all the tools up with me, had loads of people walking past staring at me when i was doing it, probably wondering what the fook i was doing stripping the rear of my car at a services on the m1!!!!

here it is at fusion... (saturday 29th) all stripped....



cage being made...


few more before the cage went in...



cage in...




strut brace in....



next morning... sunday 30th.... home sweet home.... ESSEX!!!!


i'll put some more piccy's up tomorrow of what happened since then.....

cheers for looking

rich_frst,
Nice cage mate !!!

 

blimey look at that cage ,i take it the rear seat is out for good,i do like them rear lights ,where did you get them Wot else you got planned for it ,a flocked dash would look

 

how much did your cage cost ya,looks good

 

looking hot

hmm.... maybe, i've had my car for about 2 1/2 year now, so maybe before, dunno...

cheers

 

1900cvh, cheers dude

 

yep seats are out for good!!!

got the lights from this bloke selling them out the back of his sierra in a macy d's car park in laindon.. it was his last set, got the n/s light of a mate...

got lots planned and lots purchased!!! you know a few things, just wait and see mate... a flocked dash would look cool, but just bought the darker mk 5 fiesta dash but you never know, i'll see how yours looks....

 

enough mate, but well worth the drive, lee is a top bloke, his work is quality!!! even showed him how to fold up a bandsaw blade whilst i was there (sorry lee couln't resist!!)

 

like the car mate looks nice cage looks

 

some more pictures...

went to a breakers on friday, the plan was to sink a spare wheel well in the back, and lose the spare wheel tray completely...

here's what i returned with... (half cut out)

courtesy of a mk4 escort..


but after placing it in the boot, its big enough but the chassis runs thru where i wanted it, so that plan went out the window

probably just gonna have my spare wheel sitting in the same place inside and not sunk

saturday morning, started taking the rest of the interior out, so it doesnt get ruined whilst in the garage...



both seats out..

door cards coming off..


spare wheel tray and backbox off....


exhaust off fully.... - provisionally sold to gav styli
