Good work Bud.

 

cheers

 

just a few more bits and colour code the mirrors and it will look spot on

 

got a set of electric red mirrors coming for it,
just struggling to find a back bumper as im too tight to pay to paint one

 

look's good dude, although i think it looked better with the wheel's you had on it at first...

 

Making good progress mate, i think i prefer the old wheels too. Mind you will look totally original when complete!!

 

the first wheels were off my saph cosworth, there was no way i was leaving 1k wheels on a 200 quid car

 

got myself a back bumper today
but it was the wrong colour so i had to paint it

yellow bumper



and painted




removed my old bumper, was very tidy behind



and new bumper fitted






just need another back box now

 

Its looking nice now.

 

you gotta b pleased with it

 

flipping heck, that looking pretty good now

 

fitted my electric mirrors today

 

looks to be great condition for a mk5!
hope your gunna keep it like that lol good work so far

 

bought some new wheels
16 inch cossie style rims
i then preped and painted them graphite grey








then fitted

 

bought some mk3 mondeo calipers the other day





i then stripped them down,primed and painted them black





bought some mintex discs for a st170 focus



check out the size differance



and fitted

 

blimey the difference in them brakes are they easy to fit?

 

depends on what car your fitting them too
on mine its a case of taking a couple of mm off the caliper carrier
on a mk4 escort you have to make a spacer of about 15-16 mm for the caliper
the discs have gone from 240mm to 300 mm

 

rs2k skirts now fitted

 

Some transformation mate, looks spot on!

 

nice one steve!!

 

got some polybushed front arms




and a rs2k polybushed rear axle

 

looks like a gti now with them rims on, always like the updates on this and fair play for making the transformation into what it is now.

with the HUGE brakes now on does this mean theres an engine transplant of some kind coming up??

 

those front arms are cool, where did u get them??
totally different car! looks good pal well done.

 

if i end up doing a engine swap i have 3 to choose from
130 bhp 1800 zetec
150 bhp rs2000
or the wildcard
2.1 zetec turbo

a mate of mine has the zetec turbo engine in parts form so just needs assembling
it consists of low comp pistons
lightend,balanced,knife edged crank
lightweight flywheel
ported/polished head(converted to run cossie plugs)
rover inlet (modified)
gotech management
told its a 250+ bhp engine

 

my mate is breaking a rs2000 powered mk5 cab and its got some good bits on

 

fitted my rear axle today
old axle off



new one fitted






just got to paint the calipers up when i get chance

 

Excellent work looks really smart


Brian

 

awesome mate, gotta do the zetec turbo

 

cheers for the comments guys. got to decide how far im going with this as i wasnt supposed to be going this far.
if i start the engine swap i wont be able to afford a focus st

 

but it will have cost less and give you a big smile on your face

 

gave it a good clean inside and out, to get it ready for fitp

 

got my rear spats today, so ill get them painted when i get chance

 

great work there its amazing what you done

 

painted my spats today

primed




painted




fitted

 

love seeing stuff like this, looks great mate, top work.

 

thats a big diffrence from the start really like it nice one mate!

 

perfect weather today for a lick of paint

 

Yep they were dry in about 20 minutes

 

got my new number plates today with carbon letters

 

They're quite funky mate, they cost much?
