Right well, following on from the moaning of my last Bonus build thread( https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=145854 ) to start a new one for my new build, ive done one
Unline my last bonus which became a squeeky clean full RS this is one with a difference. No RST lookalike bits, no powdercoating, no buying everything new from ford, just roughly 200 bhp turbo lump and a clean looking standard bonus

This is how i bought it, paintwork looks like its been polished with a brick and tottally standard apart from being lowered 40mm(60mm in Bonus talk) on Apex springs.



Standard interior. Will stay the same apart from full valet to get it mint, better door cards(these are in discusting condition ) and a descreet boost gauge


Egnine bay will get a pressure wash before Turbo lump goes in but thats it



And this is it for the outside apart from getting the cutting compund out to get her shineing Oh and obviously it will have the turbo exhaust pokeing out. That sticker is definatly staying as are the ambers



When i bought the car it also came with a full set of adjustable dampers to go on, and a new front panel and wing(dont need these).
Some of the other bits ive started to slowly collect




Aim is to have her al done by Trax

 

nice needs no mods but mechanical

 

Nice one danny, Don't want to sell me the voodoo's do ya

I need some springs like them too i want mine slammed!

Can't wait to see how this progresses cheers, Grant

 

looking good
think you should paint the wheels black for a bit more of a sleeper look

 

sod that, it means spending money

2nd Bonus, 2nd solid Battery Tray, gave it a good pokeing and no rot just going to cover it all in waxoil to keep it good.


Have also given the n/s front wing and rear quarter there first cut and polish.Has come up well, thing i may have struck lucky with this car like the last one just the door to do now on this side

 

i would change the wheels to steel wheels to give more of a sleeper look but still looks nice like that

 

Thats come up well with a polish

 

nice one good luck with it

 

i am gutted...was after that car, seen it on ebay!!

Wanted it cos its mint and the plate is my footie team...the Pars!!!

Looking good, however i would go with smaller rims myself!!

 

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Shiney......

What a brucie bonus.

 

 

as soon as it appeared on ebay i was off to get it like a shot, i missed out on another silver one by a pound a couple of weeks ago that was one owner But this one is seeming more and more like a bloody god one, i pulled the carpets back tonight and its fantastic

 

looks great, black mk4's look the best

 

looks minty mint mate! I'll be watching this thread

Those alloys have to come off tho

 

wheels look pants

 

yeah get rid of the wheels, sell them to me lol i like em

 

NO!!! ME ME ME LOL

 

 

never understand why someone posts about not likeing something? If i look at a thread and see something i dont like, i just click BACK and look at another thread.

this is a cheap build to have something to play in while im restoreing my mk1 Escort.I had them wheels lieing around so popped them on-total expense-fuck all

sorry you dont like the wheels Cal and Jungle, now post some pics up of your cars and ill tell you what i dont like about yours

 

looks quite smart

 

I like the wheels, think they look really cool.

One thing I would change is to fit the grille from an Orion, think it looks a bit better with the body colour bar!

If you ever did want rid of the wheels, let me know, I'd love a set of them

 

The little bonus looks mint
I wouldn't change anything. The voodoo's look smart as they are.
Only thing wrong is the DRIVER!!!

i will post the pictures of it on the way to its new home.

 

sorry danny just dont know what you mean as in sleeper?i thought it was completely standard but having a differ engine,box maybe,brakes maybe etc.?i just dont see sleeper with 17s but yeah it would still shock some people,sorry mate

 

Ah ha, Famous last words there!! Judging by your last one I doubt very much that the above will be completely adhered to!

Looks good on the voodoo's

 

That is well tidy, keep the voodoos as well, they look well smart.

 

i know must resist the urge!!!

 

cossie cal i see where your coming from but im guessing he has the voodoos because he needs bigger wheels to fit some nice stoppers behind to make it stop

 

No i am not saying I don't like the wheels. In fact i quite like them and they suit the sharp lines of that old 'scort. what i am saying is that a sleeper is a bog standard to look at car that goes like a mother fucker out of hell....

If you put a big set of alloys on it then it ruins the look you are going for.

 

same here

 

Billy you are right, but also, i need some fucking grip

and then theres peer pressure also, cant go and pick the bird up with steelies on

 

well if she's only with you cos you have a car with alloys, then i think its time for a new bird mate

 

thats not exactly what i meant but your comment made me laugh

anyway, enough about bloody alloys

update soon

 

lmfao mate dont get me started on poxy grip got anew pair of tyres ready for mine lol

 

looks nice mate. alloys look nice but what about 15 inch mk2 mondeo rims for the sleeper look

 

Makes fcuking 3 of us!!! i was after this bonus & the 1 owner minter! i think its the same one your on about, but this one i did do a reg check everywhere (aa rac dvla etc) & kept coming up as a 1.8 seirra i think or 2.0??? but its defo a escort reg lol, i wondered where this went on to fooker!

 

best not look at these pics then Trev

After getting the front and wing cut and polished, my dad suggested useing Brasso to cut the door as he reckoned it would do the biz better than t-cut and cutting compound So gave it a whirl and what do you know-works a fucking treat! Worked so well it outshone the already done wing and quarter by a mile, so re did them with the brasso then Meguirs How this side now looks



I love this car more than my silver one already, it sits so well, looks the bollox for hardly any mods and it almost seems to want to be saved.Keeps rewarding me by comeing up so clean and every area i check is in stonking condition

Also, found my full set of Genuine mudflaps the other day that i was gonna pop on the RS before i sold it. They are comeing up well with a clean


Just got to get the rest of it cut and polished now

 

I LIKEE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

me too

 

nice work do you wanna come polish mine now

 

well a quick little update, havnt got much done over the bank hol, been too busy sleeping and going out

striiped the rear to give it a proper clean and polish(nothing worse than seeing old polish stuck behind lights and bumpers) everything minty mint again as well

before



after



got the botlid polished up as well, and tried one of my old number plates on looks sweet but staying with yellow standard ones


Also got the rear Apex dampers on that came in the boot of the car
