A few more add on's since theres taken including new coolent bottle and underbonnet decals to freshen it up.

 

Franky db, what have u replaced your black rocker cover with then and how much u wanting for your black one?

 

Quick pic of mine in its earlier stages, is finished now, but i want to change the textured red rocker cover as it doesnt match the red of the bodywork or hoses. Also ive had my inlet and charge carrier done chrome/silver powdercoat but i dont like it anymore so going to change to a mirror polished one again like i have had before. Anyone got one they want to sell?

Sorry about poor pic quality

 

not an rst but i recon i can play it. lol

 

cheers boys

 

that is sweet!

 

My fiesta

 

i love that finish on the rocker cover - or inlet, whatever!

but thanks
it should look alot better soon.

 

Here are some pictures of mine.

thats a stunning engine bay, and it looks powerful aswel.


imo this is the best looking engine bay. dosent look like the car is ever used tho

 

i ended up with this i sold it to a guy in island

 

Thanks for the comments and yes the car does get used it doesnt look that clean now

 

Some of mine

 

Still loads to be done.....

 

Work in progress!

 

cheers boy they all loking good.

 

i hope your working on powder coating that wiper motor plate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Chrome deflects air quicker - thus improving accelration!

 

^^ yummy love it pal...

 

o dear lord

 

Where the top of the struts are the round metal items where do you get chrome ones of these?? are they just caps you lot have fitted or taken them off and had them chromed??

 

i also noticed alot of your engine bays seem to be smoothed over/painted up around the edges and across the front crossmember - do you just smooth it down and paint it using hammerite or what guys?

any help appreciated.

 

 

no mate weld plates over holes or fill smaller holes with welds, flat off cover with body filler flat, prim, flat, spray paint

to be honest if u wanna use hammerite i would get a a profssional to do the whole job for you

 

dont use hammerite on your engine bay i did it just to hide rust on my gti which i wasnt bothered about but dont do it on your rs unless you use spray hammerite

otherwise it will look like this

 

Heres some of my old 1.9 S2

 

u didnt care about it?
looks like its minted!

 

its abit further on than this now but not much lol hoping nto have it done by end of feb

 

Mate that doesnt look too bad with the hammerite lol, i do want the engine bay tidying up on my motor though!

 

it was my daily drive as the rs was away i used it for work lol and im a plasterer i did look after it though spent a few bob on it but i wasnt too bothered about it i love my s2 too much it dont look as bad in the pic as it does in reality though you can see all the brush marks but it does look a lot tidier than the white ford painted it with bits missing everywere and rust coming through

 

anybody else got any advice what to do??

can you buy slam panel covers which look smart etc so i could literally scrub it down with sandpper then hammerite over it and the cover would do the job of looking smart?

cheers.

 

Best thing to do is have a look through some of the resto threads and see how people have done it ,sometimes better to look at pics and get an idea ,have a look through my resto thread lots of pics on there ,engine bay should be near the start i think

 

Engine bay starts about page 18 dave and runs through to about 24 ish. Read it a few times

 

Cheers guys il give it a look, i might just have a go myself with a few rattle cans. If i prep the slam panel etc enough first and cover everything up i cant go wrong in having a go i guess.

 

i like this bay very well done.

 

 

Nice airbox setup mate! is that the standard intake of the granny?

Standard lump or have you got the obligatory bob cams and stuff?

Change the vis fan tho lol, the fan set out of a twin cam should fit in nicely.
