Finally got some reasonable quality work in progress pics of the 3 door.

 

looking dude you decided on any graphics yet?

 

Reptastic

If I saw that on the road I really wouldn't expect it to have a Cossie lump under the bonnet

 

Im loving it really plain, i think im going to just leave it pretty much how it is, other than:
refit the rs500 lower spoiler
fit cosworth badge on boot
paint spoiler tip black

Not even going to fit the black line up the door and rear quarter that they normally have, im liking the smoothness of it without it, and with it not being a cossie it doesnt matter if its original or not so i can suit myself without offending anyone

 

Never show a woman or an idiot a half finished job.

 

Me likly!

I think a set of clear rears with the brake & fog sections painted red wouod look very nice on that chipper! to get rid of the porange indicator section!

Not overly keen on window tints!

U goin to apint wheels black!?

 

The windows arent tinted, must just be the light in the picture, they are just bog standard rs500/3door bronzed glass.

Wheels are staying silver.

 

Kool!

just look real dark in pic!

Hva eu got the 500 spliter to fit!?

 

No havent got the splitter, might buy one, not sure yet, I quite like it without TBH

 

im loving that!!!

 

Lewis, have a look through the windows to the rear spoiler on this one, you can see the colour of them better:

 

pmsl : cry:

looking good chips

 

Nah, looks crap LOL

 

Oh

I'll scrap it then.

Thanks for letting me know

 

Ah yes thta looks much better chipper!

 

Looking Good Chip Will have to get another RTTG Sorted and bring it along

 

Ive actually got a slight problem with the glass lewis.

Im going to end up known as "oneclear" i think, which admitedly is only slightly different sounding to what i get called already.

The drivers side rear window smashed when taking it out (due to the accident folding the car up and putting stress on it) so that one has had to be replaced for now with a normal clear rear side window, where as all the others are bronzed.

You dont really notice it to look at it TBH unless you are really looking closely, but obviously could still do with getting it sorted at some point, but its fine for now.

 

FastKA, im certainly not taking the mid engined nova to france again, i spent 3 hours aruging with customs that it was road legal and they wouldnt let me go till an english copper came over from kent to confirm it in the end, sod that, we were 4 hours late on the train in the end, not good when you have already been driving for 16 hours at that point!

 

Well I like to be as honest as possible

Looks good - look forward to a spin on track when it's finished

 

 

On the escort i used to have green fronts & bronze back(openign 1s) until i bought some green rears from fords!

u couldnt really notice that unless it rained!

but clear to bronze aint really gunna b a big difference!

am sure u will come across a rear 1/4 window anyway if u can b bothered!

 

I actually think that looks fucking hideous, but it's your car, and not mine!

 

I doubt i will really take it on track much TBH

Ive already got a few cars for that sort of thing, this one is more for going to work in, doing the shopping etc really.

 

Be a boring world if we all like the same thing mate

I always expected it to get mixed reactions anyway, so thats not a problem.

 

colour sceheme is almost a bad as mine

best of luck with project

coming on nicely

 

Spiky, that was last week, its finished and MOT'd now.

I just havent got any more recent pics online yet.

Im pretty sure ive got something else on that weekend, southern mini days i think it was.


Might pop along if not though.

 

 

Coming along nicely and i like the yellow it will look much better when its finished and is certainly different
Getting the urge to strip mine and do something different with it now though

 

chip, quick question mate, are the 2wd cossie props different from the 1.6 gl ones??

ive got pretty much everything now bar the prop.

 

fudgeass, yes its different prop/diff/driveshafts assembley.

especially the driveshafts, the 1.6 ones are like mcdonalds straws


Spadge, yeah it does look a lot better now its finished.

will get pics up at the weekend hopefully.

 

cheers mate

 

Chip: yeah its southen mini days that weekend. The Ford Fair looks good tho, can we go to that?
