What's the plan for that?

 

I did it yesterday. 1 patch on the sill and 2 patches in the rear inner arch. I only set fire to the boot carpet and interior plastics. It melted all the wires together too lol. Ops not to worry.

 

Oops!? Always handy to have a spotter inside, to keep an eye out for fire...

 

Defo should of had a spotter. I should of emptied the stuff out of the boot but i didnt have much time and I got carried away with myself lol.

 

When my mate did mine, we got it all ready, cut the metal up, I said before we start, Ilol make a cuppa, only inside two mins and I hear him shout "fire" he got impatient and started

 

Not 100% sure tbh. I need to get bumper off and see how bad it is. Is there a normal plan of action ?

 

Did you put a pic on FB? Someone else as done similar, I don't remember guys name.

 

Think Rod Tarry mentioned a piece of metal welded to the cross member to locate the bumper and support it?

 

Im not on facebook matey.

 

So its some other foolish fellow.. hehe


paint and mop is getting in a few hours. Worried and excited at same time, I know the guy and impressed by his work. but never had work done by him yet.

 

I don't think it as dropped like you mentioned its more like the supporting hole on the side by the wing as rusted causing the drop. if you know what I mean.

 

When I first got mine it was a bit low, the peg had broken off, someone had put a bolt in place of it, which had machined the triangle hole out, making the bumper sit too low.
Just put a small plate on, but the plastic main bracket had snapped, so got rid of all the oursplastic mount and put Dzus fasteners either side

 

had the paint sorted on Friday.
drivers side ,front bumper grill front edge of bonnet. repair and blend of both corner by sunroof. passenger rear Q.
The drivers door is causing a problem from a prior repair from an attempted theft. he had repaired and sealed the door, primer went on fine, but as soon as base coat went on a few lines appeared. these were sorted and base went on fine, but after the clear was applied they came back. So he wants to let it cure for a week and apply laquer to the lines before wet flat and mop. If that don't work its back top bare metal and start again.


that looks much better

not sure why hes masked it like that, where its been blended don't think it would have taken much prep any way.

I thought that was pretty good straight from the gun but dave said it would be much better once mopped.


16s unfortunately not mine. iv offered my mate Ł400 for them. but the ass wont sell lol

what they belong too. 1.8 zvh . love that car!!

 

Come up really well!

Reckon it would look better on softlines though....

 

cheers stu
I have a thing for deep dish hence wanted the bbs rs reps. I think what ever I get they'll be 17" tho

 

Looking good

What springs you got on the rear? it seems to sit really well.

 

Thats not a bad paint job

It looks well on them 16s matey.

 

 

it looks good in pics but does need mopping, Im looking forward to Friday when its done.
Iv also ordered 2 new ford badges chrome bumper insert and some silver pinstripe off that auction site. S should look pretty tidy when done

 

Funnily enough I bought some of those but don't have the box, you don't happen to know the part numbers do you, mine has codes on the springs - but your springs are on the car.

What shocks/dampers mate?

 

shocks aint nothing fancy fella, kyb premium I think. I didn't want any to take fillings out my teeth.
I still have the box in the shed what numbers do you need?

 

it will look well with the chrome striping.

ive got a set of 17 inch momo arrows that would look well on your saff.

 

the badges and chrome strip turned up today. typical I hope the pinstripe is here for Friday dave is going to fit it when he's mopped car.
The badges look pretty good concidering only Ł4.99 each

 

its a petty your over 3 hours away from me I could have popped over and tried them for size

 

Its only 3 hours lol. I will have a cuppa waiting for you.

There a bit curbed in places but they are defo not buckled. The tyres are ok too.

 

what kind of money would you want for them?


The pinstripe as turned up today

 

It's amazing how a bit of new chrome strips and a couple of new badges transform the car!?

Like the rear shot of your car Glenn! Your exhaust sticks out a long way, what make is it?

 

I would say about 300 quid. They have a few curb marks on them which the bloody wife did when they were on her focus.

Stu the tail pipe has always stuck out like that. Its a scorpion back box but the centre section has been repaired at some point.

 

Looks really good that, and those momo's would suit it beautifully!

 

ok Glenn il bare them in mind, what make are the tyres and how much tread on them fella?

 

yeh man so true,


its back with the painter now so I will take some nice pics tomorrow when its all sorted

 

There only cheapos. The fronts are matching but the rears arnt. I bet there is about 5mm on the fronts and about 4 on the rears.

 

Cool, look forward to seeing them!

 

its ready for collection, dave sent me a pic

 

From the pic it looks well.

 

All the reference numbers that you possibly can recover from the box.

I only have the numbers printed on the springs - just would like to see if anything matches.


Car is looking good by the way

 

not had a great weekend, wifey had a scan on Friday and they kept her in. The baby isn't growing as well as should be. So she's in for another next Friday, theym hoping it was a problem with scan itself. But if there is a problem they might have to deliver her next month when she's not due til july 7th.

that's all the numbers I found matey.

 

Chin up matey. I'm sure it was just a problem with the scan itself.

Nice Saff by the way!!

 

cheers nobby.

 

Looks very nice in that pic mate!
