Fuck all wrong with rollering a car imo. Thinking of doing it to my s14a!

leedsrhinos126

Ye done door shuts but didnt't remove the door seal so painted right up to them as replacing anyway when i can find anu for sale.

Gazebo is a real pain in the arse, must have spent 4 hours over the last few days just trying to stop it tearing and blowing away wish i had a garage to paint in

leedsrhinos126

Taking a break now, just finished spraying the first coat and its looking good so far, gonna leave it 2 hours between coats 3 in total

Get some pics up? looking forward to seeing it

rstom95

piccys ???

leedsrhinos126

Ive not updated in quite a while as im always on xrtwo.com so all the pics from there im gonna copy and paste them all onto here. Mid June up till now lot of pics but missed the boring ones out.



I drove the car to work like this today and fitted the kit afterwards.
The front bumper is in my shed ready for paint tomorrow and the rear one will be done this week aswell (white)

Very neat, undersealer.


here was the mot sheet back in June welding welding


Inner sill and the dodgey cut down the sill wtf Further down the inner sill is mint, it's just the bit you see here. I welder the inner, outer back up then welded the inner sill from underneath then the inner arch so all solid once again as i ended up using alot of metal and even put extra in there, might aswell so never has to be done again.

So i had a load of matt black vinyl wrap left so had a go on the bonnet (before leaving bad comment just remember its only a bloody sticker and of course comes off without an issue) peolpe really like it so far but im in two minds tbh.
And yes it needs a good wash



So ive got this week off work so just doing some theing to the fiesta ready for the trip to FordFair.
Started by welding in this flexi, ground back the welds and painted the whole lot black.
Today ill be taking the wrap off the bonnet and try to sort a small bit of surface rust that keeps appearing round n/s/r window at the bottom. wish i took the windows out when painting now.
Then by the weekend get some G3 polish and sort the paint a little


MMMMmmm here she is just a shame the pics were taken when sun had gone down. Definate improvement though Theres a reflection now.
The bonnet looks cool like this imo (not closed)
Bonnet wrap removed, cleaned, polished, re-fueled and ready to go!




Some prick at Ford Fair wtfwasnt me





Anyway thats the Fiesta from just 2-3 weeks ago, now i have a new car so the fiesta is taking a back seat from now on.


Here she is an absolute beautey, very lovely car to drive so sadly the fez is taking a back seat for now (no more money to be spent on the fez )
I just had to remove that splitter from the front bumper as it wouldn't go over bumps, inclines etc


Fully refurbed wheels with new tyres




First of all remove the badges. The exhaust was from Demon Tweeks in May and tbh its incredibley loud only one has the back box the rest is a straight through stainless.






Lovely leather Recaro soooo comftable. Momo steering wheel


Not everyones cup of tea (paint brush splash type thing) apart from that the engine is mint recent rebuild along with clutch, gear box and diff.

All in all a cool car to potter about in. Bought it 2 week ago

New build thread to be started tonight.

MikeyRobbo

Please for the love of all that is holy do not change a single thing on that Sierra, that is a finished article imo, LEAVE IT ALONE

Fiestas looks better, 10x better without that wrap on the bonnet, only thing missing is an XR2 rear spoiler and a lot of laquer, looks flat as fuckk! Will admit you are getting better though and less 'Max Power'

please dont basterdise that sierra

leedsrhinos126

Believe me mate the Sierra is staying as is body wise apart from needing front wings repairing (tyres dented them) and one 5p bubble on each rear arch, these will be done proffessionally in the near future
Keep an eye in the resto thread, more pics etc later

leedsrhinos126

No mate dont worrie
Sierra sapphire is my favorite car so strictly GOOD BITS only

Mr.T

Dont let your tools near the sierra. Only drive it.

studabear

I think the advisorys were epic on your fiesta's failure sheet

MikeyRobbo

I also see the first thing on the MOT failure sheet is the silly sunvisor vinyl causing obstruction also exhaust noise too!

Should have listened to the advice

allaboutfords

Lovely engine swop! Just bought one no welding required going down 1.6 cvh XR3I root though. Noticed your window rubbers where missing any ideas where to get them? and what about fitting old school slot mags to it?

SMILER258

I think your fiesta looks MINT apart from the bonnet vents. Like said above, an XR2 spoiler and it will look ace.

leedsrhinos126

Cheers. the fiesta looks just how i wanted, still sat in the garden looking pretty. Ive still got the spoiler for it but never got round to buying some tiger seal type stuff. The bonnet vents actually cracked about a week after painting and now the filler has cracked pretty much all the way round 1 of them only fine crack though

leedsrhinos126

Ye that was sweet, zetec for mine in the future so starting soon it will be a long term project lets just say it'll be a TOY for when im older
Dunno where to get new rubbers.
Cossie brakes up front on the fez so 13's wasnt an option if this wasnt an issue Star Mags or Capri pots are COOL imo

Thank god MOT's aren't hand written any more, you'd have to go and buy him a new pen! Fiesta is looking a lot better now though!

rsfido_1989

It looks much better now, fair play ( I like the bonnet vents now it's painted )

RSmark84

Looks a damn sight better. the Saph looks good too. should keep that and sell the fiesta.

RSmark84

Boys with over powered toys.

Joking aside I do hope he is alright and no one else hurt.

Any up dates on what happened?

iTrader: (21)

Basically, he gave it billy big balls off a round about, and stacked/"drifted" it into a kerb

Carlos-Titx

No doubt saying to a mate "watch this!" hahahaha.

Tbh it was only a matter if time till he ruined another car.

steff19

steff19

leedsrhinos126
