what colour dose everyone think would be a good colour to do my p100 ?
thanks for your thoughts

 

Black, red, seal or yukon grey?

 

Carbon fibre wrap?

 

i do love black but just want to have more thoughts , i was thinking about a flake , but i am not sure as i dont want it looking silly , but i also dont want it missed at car shows so i am really not sure

 

Aurallis blue of an escort cosworth would look mint

 

we had 2 very nice P100s both full cossie spec on our stand at ford fair last year and one of them will be on our stand at central show in april too

 

That black one is superb, I always thought they would look better bob tailed but didnt know someone had actually done it, needs a proper 3dr grille though and a 500 bumper to finish it off, and a set of BBS centrelocks and Texaco decals. Damn I see another project looming.

 

Mark is on here that built both those p100s and the detailed work on the black one is really top drawer as the workmanship underneath is stunning,

heres his build thread https://passionford.com/forum/restor...-s-c-p100.html

 

thanks for the link, superb workmanship, I am always looking in the projects section so dont know how I missed that one

 

good to see modified p100 s
imo i dont really like the back being shorter but it is diffrent
i will need to get some pictures of the 4x4 sierra cosworth rear axle on mine up

 

thanks mate 3dr grill done 500 bumper and splitter coming next week.

 

sharky why did you not go for the coilovers on the rear ?

 

think i will go with black , i like to think i would go a diffrent colour but i think black looks so good thanks for everyones thoughts

 

what wheels are they on the black one seen a set on a mondeo before always thought they would look good on a saph

 

which black one ?

 

1 with 3door front end

 

m4tt274 on here has a decent Imperial blue one with a number on the door.
Havent seen it recently

 

hello mate.

i just never got round to doing them as my 4x4 i built drove so nice on the same set up. maybe in the future though.

yours looks great in black go for black base and laquer for depth i think because the p100 is a long car black makes it look more compact and being low will look stunning.

good luck keep us updated.

 

My mates kawasaki green, home built 24v twin turbo

 

You should paint it pink, or the colour that cool mondeo is that your mate has with tinted windows and st220 wheels amazing looking car that like.......if I don't say so myself

 

I think with these motors you need to go either classy in colour or full throttle in your face like the green one or dyno rod orange

 

i think what you have said is spot on and i really dont think i could bring myself to make it in your face ... so classy it is
it will be going black but i have a few things to do to it before then

 

local are we?

 

hi mate , think i will keep it black
and i run coil overs on mine with no modifcations to the tub on the back .
did you uprate your propshaft on yours ? as i dont know if i will need to once i have the yb in it running around 380-400

 

here is a picture of some painting i done its chrome paint with holographic flake , needs more top coat but i was just messing around and giving myself ideas lol , ps i am no painter lol

your mate running a capri rear axle ?

 

yeh i used the prop off the saph cosworth i broke had to be about 10inches longer and balanced.

 

aubergine?
if done right i think that would be nice

 

yea its a bit longer lol much diffrance in diameter cossie one compared to p100? i image there is but good to know anyway lol

 

hi mate just think i will keep it black maybe a thought for next time it needs a re spray

 

yeh the rear section is 3" diameter due to the length dont know if they need to be larger for bigger bhp just balanced mines fine with 404.7 bhp.

 

think i will change it then
hope to be on the stand with everyone at ford fair , was going to try this year but think it might be next year
your running 2wd?
hmm wonder if the prop is diffrent between 2wd and 4x4 as i plan on 4x4 with a target around 380-400

 

yeh 2wd didnt want to spend a fortune on 4x4 gearbox at that bhp and its more fun.dont no if theres any difference in 2wd and 4x4 props but someone on here will no.

be nice to see more p100s at shows.

 

I love the look of P100s.Any pics of yours matey.

 

nope, got the granada rear set up on it with its 7.5" LSD ,but converted to 4 stud.

from memory

 

ah just thought it was a capri due to it sitting up a little on the back , why did he not just put the cossie rear on it ?

 

the only reason i am going 4x4 is my brother was breaking one so all the parts are there to use , and yea my brothers 2wd cossie is around 330ish bhp and tbh its nuts it just trys to kill you all the time lol or maybe its cos he likes going side ways all the time lol , and it would be do you not get people saying o look someones cut the roof off a sierra lol

 

he is a picture of my p100 with the capri rear axle on

 

and here is a picture now with the 4x4 cosworth axle on

Dunno, but must be much the same, guess he bought a complete donor scorpio cosworth, so had them bits knocking about.

And dont think he wanted it too low at the rear, due to using it to cart the odd engine / gerabox about now and then
