Did you not send that key along with cash??? thought it was a random bolt to weigh the envelope down so the postie didn't know it was wonga

There was no problem to start with as the rear bumper has the optional extra RS drop valance (which makes the leading edges of the bumper stick out about 15mm) hence why it all sits perfectly

 

ever car i've seen that has been painted with the kit on, cracks and looks cack trust me i will me bro had his fiesta done a few years ago and told the painter DONT paint the car with the kit on, take if off and paint it, went to pick it up and it had been painted with the kit fitted lol 2 weeks later it looked bad

mark

 

Well i trust ross so we'll just have to wait and see!

 

Oi tillio u plum i told you i was sending the wheel bolt key but you forgot

Dont matter mate you are getting on a bit so your gonna forget things aint ya

 

Mates! Where's the next update??? Or isn't there any??? Is the car still in it's undercoat? SHOW US SOME NEW PICS!!!

Grtz Ramonster..

 

Hello all,

Right a few questions answered, as Till said the rear aches match up to the rear bumper because of the drop skirt on the rear bumper. The car is now all painted, just the bumpers to paint tomrrow then some more polishing and a few finishing touches to do. The aches have not been remove when the car was painted the reasons for this is because, Steve did not have the sideskirt caps so these had to be fitted and filled, the arches have to go on before the sideskirts too, as they fit underneath and the ends of the arches have been filled to, so there was no way around this, you are right its not the ideal way to do it but i had no other choice.

I will try and send Steve some more pics tomrrow, if i get time!! lol

 

More pics yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Cheers for answering some of the questions mate

 

Yes yes we get some new pic's

Steve has been round this morning, first time he has seen it, he took a few pics, so should be up in a bit.

Should have the car home early next week so an update will follow shortly!!!

 

Nice work!!! Aren't you affraid the number plate is going to touch the streets???

It looks fuckin clean! That's for sure

Grts Ramonster..

 

Gonna chop the plate down maybe fit a bike plate!!!

 

looks really nice but you still don't say how you got over the rear arch to bumper alignment (gap)

 

Very nice.....

 

ESCORT1989UK :- Doesnt this answer your question???

 

Totally agree, as that is the way I did it, oh ESCORT1989UK yes I had a small gap too and filled it first up with glass fiberputty and then finished it of w/ finer one. On the front arches I had some bigger probs as I cut too much of the arch, so had to use something diff, what all 2 b seen in my update, oh, boy.....

Hartyboy ,Soz to have made some publicity m8

BUT your car does look fab

 

Thats ok fomoco90, thanks for you comments!!!

 

Its all been cleaned and polished now Steve, looks a million times better than when you saw it this morning, will drag it out tomorrow and try and take some better pics for yah.

 

Cheers mate my camera is crap, so how do you feel about the abs removal now?

Also when do you want me to pick it up whens best for you ive gotta go to the bank remember!!

p.s. You've done a top job mate cant fault it

 

Here you go some final pics, sorry there not that good, guess its too sunny.







Steve i have just gotta give it one more polish and clean the boot out and screw a couple more bits and bobs on, so if we say about 3pm tomorrow for pick up, is that ok with you/your mum??

Cheers Ross.

 

Fookin hell mate looks superb!!! I'm getting a lift with my mate so i'll check with him a give you a ring later on.

Did you have a think about the abs??

Pm me the final price and i'll sort out the ŁŁŁŁ

 

Yeh did have a think about the ABS, i aint really sure where to start mate, so will leave it to some one who knows what they are doing!! lol

Will pm you know mate.

 

Looks like a fockin blach mirror!!!

Lookin forward to see the final pic's (without the weird sun glow on it )

Grts Ramonster..

 

Any ideas where i can put my front number plate????

 

on yer forehead
HAHAHAHAH evr'y time you see a rozzer stick yer head to the windscreen

 

cheers for the advice lol

 

heres an idea drill out you number plate numbers into the front of your bonnet and put a neon behind it like tillo has done he's turbo cut but that look's okay i think

 

get a sticker one and just stick it to the bonnit or splitter

 

Spray it on your intercooler... Or (that's what I should do) stick it on your splitter like luke already sayd...

Grtz Ramonster..

 

I was thinkin... Out here in Holland it's allowed to place your number plate on your dash.. Dunnow if it's allowed out there!! It must have a clear sight!

Grtz Ramonster..

 

Bloody hell fooking turbo gone and speared a great big hole in the rad still spose i can get an alloy one now lol better move the rad forward first though

Oh yeah Tillio where my fooking wheel bolt got to???

 

Might be worth checking your engine mounts to Steve, there was a good gap between the turbo and the rad, i think the engine must be moving about a fair bit, as per texts though should be a piece of piss to move foward though and when you fit your Kenlows you should be able to move a foward a fair bit.


Once again i am sorry mate

 

Thats ok mate it aint really your fault worked ok on your car i'm just unlucky still i can get an alloy one now though

Lots of stuff to do over the next few days as i need the car for friday, ST170 brakes on, ABS off, new alloy rad on, money in bank off

Car looks fooking cool though mate big up to you

 

The kenlowes are a lot thinner than the standard rs fans anyway well a bit thinner anyway

 

Fook it just found out after buying the new alloy rad (Ł340inc from Pro Alloy) that the rad wasnt leaking after all it was the bloody turbo to rad coolant pipe probably Ł10 at most to replace bugger it

Still at least i got a nice new shiny rad now i'll get some pics up soon!!!

Sorry Ross for sort of blaming you

 

PMSL at blaming ross!!

Car looks fookin great mate, i love that front bumper, is it the quad conversions one??

 

Yeah its the predator one just modded a lot

 

A few pics of the Pro Alloy rad and twin Kenlowes hope i fitted them right any ideas on wiring them up???





Just gotta refit the GRS I/C and front bumper now!!
