Gooey

Guess what arrived today. All the hoses are here except one which hopefully we can get around with a bit of a bodge for now using a Ford pipe.



My brother got back from Turkey on Monday, by Tuesday night he had made me a brake fluid resivoir cover for a Mk1 Mondeo
Its been made in mild steel so the crackle paint will go on better, just needs a hole drilling into it



And the cars new mascot, a Tango man



Tomorrow night Im hopefully picking up the strut brace, header tank and other little bits from the paint shop as I ve gone crackle black crazy, more pics soon

Rossco

You will be indeed, ive got the rivets in the van aswell, give me a bell when you want to head over.

Looks great BTW.

Spammage

Lookling good loving the mascot

Gooey

Cheers to Rossco for painting these bits

Picked up the crackle blacked bits 8)

Wiper motor cover



Plate where most Fiestas have a locking catch for the bonnet



Mk2 Golf Bailey header tank



And last but not least, my strut brace 8) (excuse the dog bone)



This was actually made by cutting up my old strut brace and using an Omega Roll cage



Also collected my 2nd brand new spotlight from Ford tonight and a set of spot light brackets

McGoo 69

such a stunning car!!

absolutly love it!!

Farmer Giles

looking much better then it ever did before..

nice to see it actually being finished off to the standard it deserves...

Rossco

Steve the guy helping (read helping as supervising and making all the random bits that Pete keeps buying fit) Pete build this car would agree with that statement.

Looking forward to seeing it sometime over the weekend mate.

Gooey

Cheers Ross.

It has to be said that without Steve Crooks, this car would quite simply not of been built, especially to the standard it is today.
Words are quite simply not enough to say thank you to the big man and someone Im very proud to call a friend.

Gooey

Spent all day today until dark finishing bits off and getting the car ready for FITP.
Car will be there but wont be running for long because we didnt have time to sort the management side of things and so its stuck with a base map and over fueling like fu(k ............ also we needed a USB serial adaptor which PC World dont stock :S
Then my fan decided to shit itself so I cant run it for very long periods of time anyway.
Door cards are about the only thing still needing to be done but will just have to look a bit untidy in the mean time.

Front Valance and Number plates fitted









Inside all tidied up









Hoses and all the Crackle black parts fitted except for the brake fluid resivoir





And Tango man hanging on for dear life

Garage19

Pete,

When is FITP?

I could come over and sort the fuelling out for you before you have to go?

Gooey

Tomorrow morning very early, not to worry Doug, its been transported up there for me.

May take you up on the offer after FITP though Doug

Garage19

No problems. Just give me a bell and then pop over to the workshop one Sat morning. Gonna cost you a cooked breakie though and if Steve comes along to that could get seriously expensive!!

Rossco

I sense some man love there

Joking aside though Steve "Popper" Crooks is a legend

Gooey

I did think it sounded a bit gay after I wrote it Ross but I really cant thank him enough for what he has done
