what do you think of my S2.

Its not painted yet but you can see how clean she is.

replaced the front end and the doors coz of some rust starting.

Should get her back fully painted on saturday 7th Feb.

what color m8...??

thats the way to do it

 

Its going back to good old Ford Diamond White.

couldn't afford a better colour, wanted a flip but it was to expensive.

Just forked out Ł4500 on new 2.1zvh, Ł940 of qauife gear box and Ł1240 on new ECU so had to keep costs down.

Will post some more phots hopefully this saturday when she comes home.

You need to give them a boot up the arse with a big firm boot and tell them to get it sorted.

Shame about the colour though...

 

looks damn good m8 but where did you got your qauife gear box from

 

Thanx for your comments lads

www.gearboxman.co.uk

Couldn't really afford anything better than just white
Plus think it looks really clean and crist in white.

 

P.S all the wheels and running gear was all temporary while it was getting painted.

Will post more photos soon as its going back togeather very quickly.

 

jammy bugger

 

Diamond White is a horrible colour when you look whats in it. That's the reason I am having mine sprayed in something else. I don't like flips and pearls personally on RS's. I prefer them looking standardish.

Should look good for a few years though

 

Loking good mate,keep up the good work

 

Very Smart, looks spot on

 

 

Been working on it all weekend and this is how it is at present.

 

Jesus. And I thought mine was looking good.

Thats a work of art mate. Best of luck.

 

awesome !!!

 

wicked m8 you can do my car annytime LOL

 

WOW! Looks shit hot mate! Wish mine was coming along as fast

 

looks the dogs danglies mate, keep it coming

 

spot on

 

 

Just thought i'd pop this on.



Matt.

and if my car comes out half as good looking as yours looks ill be happy

 

top drawer mate, nice....

 

5iht, just noticed your location..... where was it painted mate??

where were those pics of it on the lift taken??

 

i would of thourght you might have cleaned up the bell housing on the gear box before you put it back in

looks fookin good mate

 

very nice

 

Was painted at MAS Car and Commercial in Sittingbourne

 

Been working on it today (Sunday 4th April) Got the intercooler, fans, turbo and coil pack fitted.

Not alot really!







Matt

 

Just wondering how much a full respray like that costs??

 

It only cost me Ł1300 including all the underside and inside, I did all the cleaning etc and they simply had to prep and paint, i supplied all the paint as well.

 

Looking good matey, lets have none of that engine fire malarky tho this time eh ?!!?

Will be really nice when done, you know i'll come back to the blue oval one day - prob the first day we hit the shows ! Bye Bye pulsar !

 

Sorry but what do you mean by cleaning etc???

 

Basically mate try and do all the work you can to the car before it goes into the body shop, if it needs mud cleaned off from under the arches etc they will charge you for that.
Any greace in the engine bay needs to be cleaned off. basically get the car as ready for painting as you can.

Matt

 

I just noticed that too.

Looks good matey

 

Where about are you Tony Turbo??
