First time i've seen your car mate, looked good, what was actually wrong with the old shell?

Where was it rotten?

 

mine




mine and tracey's old one/.

 

Karl,

Well..where wasnt it rotten? lol

It was rotten in..... Boot floor, both chassis rails, O/S/F wing (from inside out), trans tunnel, both front floors, N/S/F inner wing by turret oh and both rear arches (one bubbling inside door shut!!)
The rear shelf also had 2 big cracks at each end.

You just dont notice it all until you start stripping them down. The new shell has a couple of places were it needs work but nothing like the old one.

Got plenty of pics to start a resto thread at some point.

Mum got a fiesta zetec-s from your place this morning. Nice little car. Will need to sort out some mats for her with trade discount next week


Mart

 

my ebony black 4x4

 

[quote="Moonstone Mart"]Shame that mate, looked nice in the first pic too!

I'll see what i can do for you on the mats mate

She hasnt bought one of those horrible green ones has she?

 

No, was a colorado red one they already had in stock with climate pack and tech pack with privacy glass and half leathers.
I did notice that they had left a few bits of tape here and there in the boot and just under dash on PDI/valet lol
Also the diag port cover kept popping open but sorted that now.

Afew pics of my 50k mile 2wd.







Bruce

 

Some pictures of mine. It's standard 1988 2WD. I was always dreaming of having one .
Some pics with french registration plates where it came from. Amber indicators are back in front, rear red lamps are waiting to be mounted on their place.

 

I agree. That used to live in Bexley literally a 30-second walk from my place? Always looked like a clean one.

 

Is this factory standard badge positioning? I'm returning my rear end to standard look, have badges just want to get them right.

 

Or is this correct factory badge position?

 

First pic is correct possition, minus the GB badge lol

Bruce

 

Mine is the same as the first pic. On the second the cosworth badge is too low.

Have a look at mine which I'm sure is standard position:

 

Yeah , top pic is correct.

 

Cool. As soon as the weather improves I'll go out and sort it

The Cossie doesn't get as much respect on the road without the proper badges, I noticed this since I had mine resprayed - got a couple of non-standard badges off eBay, since then people think the car is a replica...

Anyway, someone here sold me a full set of standard badges for pocket change, sorted

 

here is mine












and one with my latest mod

 

what did you do budd???

 

came on to a round about on a dual carrige way, i was in the right hand lane going straight on, some dumb fuck in the left hand lane decided that he was turning right and that was the result

 

ive almost had that happen to me soooo many times ive lost count fucking people in the wrong lanes

 

Better late than never:



Wish me luck for the season.

Charlie

 

yeah thought might have got the cosworth badge in wrong place better sort that ,hopefully i leave some laquer on when i take it off .

 

What race series is that then?
