thanks guys.
The sealer thats gone to be used nine tins to go on

 

still unsure to what way to go with this Neil.

 

just finished spraying the sealer on.

 

 

thanks benjaminsarmy hope to get it painted this week

 

looking good mate, is that a seam sealer or stone chip? please tell me your painting it blue?

 

Its a water base seam sealer andy so it can be painted and yes its going to be sprayed the same as the car so should look well

 

what did you use to dry it mate? same as gatebil escort?

 

just used air dryers

 

Very nice project keep up the good work.

 

well got around to putting pics on the computer been busy working at other cars this week but the sealer is dry very happy with it can move on from the underside as it will get painted the same time as the shell.Main things next week to do order the wrc spoiler and bumper and send my wings away to get rolled i hope aswell so i can get the shell finished up.new bootlid came from ford germany as i want to keep the original bootlid from the car.

 

nice work mate keep it up

 

looking good

 

Small update new doors and bootlid and wings fitted.Doors proved to be a nightmare as the originals where spot on hooked on the new ones and both where over lapping the quarter panel and sitting down on the sill to say i was annoyed was a understatement so headed off in the van to pick up the other new doors of my rs2k and these fitted spot on so looked like someone at ford didn't weld the hinges in the right place so had to cut these off the new doors and reweld them to where they should be got finished up around 2am just have to finish making the wing to bolt on be4 they head off the get turned into wrc spec.

 

Looking good

Awesome idea going for the "Stain" look - come to think of it, i'm surprised no one else has thought to do it before now.

Will look forward to seeing it painted.

 

great work pal,
WIll keep an eye on this one!

 

exellent work mate. i will be watching this thread its going to be a beast.

 

Finishing off the sealing to the arch's and wings are converted to bolt on.jig'd out the damage to the driverside front panel it was down about half an inch so all measured up and gaps spot on just have to weld in the new panel and hope to get delivery of my wrc stuff before the end of the month.The hunts on for a 4x4 sierra cosworth for the donor parts to run this car so found a few here in ireland for sale to look into.

 

this is gona be an ace escort when its finished looking at what you have done so far mate

 

looking very good mate,well done

Is the stone chip flexable?
Cheers David

 

It does stay flexible David as its a spray seam sealer not stone chip.

 

Ah ok that 's just what i was looking for ive got one of those gun's at work .
where id you get it from and how much is it ?
Cheers David

 

Have the gun a few years i payed €250 for it and buy the sealer by the box full any good auto paint store will have it or get it in it cost me around €100 a box

Bumper number one has come seeing as there is 3 different type of wrc bumpers going for all three and see which i like the best and the same with the spoiler getting 2 one non carbon and one with the upper part in carbon fibre.bumper 1 got it yesterday happy enough with and there's a carbon fibre lower splitter for it to go on.
