Default Zetec s track project

Decided to join up and start a thread on my mk5 zetec s track project I been working on for the past year , never done a track day but always fancied a go hence the reason I'm building this car , it's a standard phase 2 with the usual rust issues , drivers side wing had been hit at some point so I started off by repairing that

Beat it out the best i could then cut the lip off and welded a new piece in


I then set about sorting the rust , welded new arches , and lots of repairs to the floor pan , while I was at it cut off every unecicerry bracket and welded in some bars to mount the bucket seats on , also welded in the base plates for the bolt in cage then give it a coat of primer

Next I painted the roll cage and the inside of the car using upol raptor through a 1.8 gravity fed spray gun to give a smooth durable finish

Next up was finishing off the bodywork and getting the car into primer
insides of the doors cut out removing the window mechanism and saving a bit of weight
shell primed up and ready to be flatted down


Inside of the shuts and panels done in raptor , also done the underside of the car
