THIS IS MY CAR BEFORE I STARTED ,IS MINT OUTSIDE BUT AS WE ALL KNOW WHEN WE GET UNDERNEATH AND START POKING AWAY,ITS A DIFFERENT STORY...GOT OFF LIGHTLY,JUST NEW CHASSIS RAIL SECTIONS WERE REQUIRED.HAVE JUST FINISHED FITTED THESE ON 1/12.05 THEN ALL UNDERSEAL REMOVED(WHAT FUN),HAVE NOW USED 15 BAGS OF SPRAYABLE SEALER AND HAMMERITED IT (HAMMERED GREY)CLOSEST THING TO MERCURY GREY I COULD FIND.HAVE JUST PICKED UP SUSPENSION PARTS FROM POWDERCOATERS 15/12/05.WILL POST PICS SOON.

 

P.S MERCURY GREY ONES ARE THE BEST,THATS WHY FORD CHARGED MORE FOR THEM,Ł500 MORE I THINk . LOL..

MORE BITS CLEANED AND READY TO GO BACK ON.

 

TOOK GEAR SELECTOR TO WORK TODAY FOR A FRESHEN UP,RUBBED DOWN AND ETCHED PRIMED

 

WAITED FOR A SILVER CAR TO GO INTO BOOTH AND SNEEKED MY SELECTOR IN,SOME PERKS OF WORKING BETWEEN CHRISTMAS &NEW YEAR.ALL 2 PACKED AND LAQUERED AND READY TO FIT.

 

FUEL LINES & BRAKE LINES ALSO PAINTED AND LAQURED AND READY TO FIT.JUST WAITING FOR POLYBUSHES BEFORE I CAN CONTINUE.HAD SOME DEFLEX ONES BUT DIDNT FIT TO WELL INTO THE TRAILING ARMS SO SOLD THEM ON EBAY.HAVE ORDERED POWERFLEX ONES INSTEAD. WILL POST PICS OF CAR SOON

 

DIDNT LIKE THE CHROME BADGES ANYMORE,A BIT 1998 ,SO GOT ORIGINAL 90 SPEC ONE.NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS

 

NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THIS,AS YOU CAN SEE HAVE ALSO PUT BLACK INSERT BACK INTO BUMPERŁ18 FROM FORD

 

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU ADD ALL THES INGREDIENTS AND NEW CHASSIS RAILS ALL TOGETHER?

 

an error from your photobucket account?

 

YOU GET THIS,COULD HAVE JUST STONE CHIPPED AND PAINTED IT,BUT WANTED THE ULTIMATE PROTECTION.THE SPRAYABLE SEALER IS THE BEST YOU CAN GET,BUT EXPESIVE.Ł9 A BAG AND I USED 15 OF THEM.

 

THESE BUGGED ME FOR AGES.PREVIOUS OWNER CUT THEM TO FIT 17'S,BUT WASNT AS FUSSY AS I AM.AS THE CAR WAS IN THE AIR,I TOOK THEM OF AND BINNED THEM.

 

BOUGHT THESE OF EBAY BUT WERE WHITE.AFTER A LITTLE PREP AND SOME MERCURY GREY&LAQUER FROM THE **FREE**FAIRYS AT WORK ,I NOW HAVE THESE.

 

THIS IS HOW IT STANDS TODAY,WAITING FOR POLYBUSHES BEFORE SUSPENSION CAN GO BACK ON,AND ITS BLOODY FREEZING.

 

WANTED MY COSSIE REAR CALLIPERS TO MATCH MY FRONT BREMBO ONES,SO CREATED THIS,WELDED SMALL INSERT ONTO FRONT OF CALLIPER AND GRINDED FLUSH THEN PAINTED.

 

HAD TO WELD PIECE IN SO HAD ROOM FOR DECAL,DECALS WERE FITTED THEN LAQURED,STILL NOT SURE IF THEY LOOK GREAT OR TACKY?LET ME KNOW.
