nah at the mo matey, dropped a few things off to be powdercoated and polished up. when i get them back i will do a update of them bits and the bits ive done on the xr2t

 

cool, look forward to it mate

 

rich, where'd you get your bits powder coated? that place over charfleets

 

yeah jp polishers top bloke he is. quick turner around and good prices.

i also use valcan powdercoaters in basildon over buntmills

 

who's better tho?? wanna get my azev's refurbed... how much does he charge for wheel refurishment?

my bro uses him for powder coating bits and bobs

 

i would pop down to JPs rich ive seen how there wheels come out, very nice!

i think if you took a set down there they would be about Ł35 a wheel

plus he is quite quick turn around.

valcan take ages to get stuff back, plus there lost a few of my bits when ive had them powdercoated.

 

yeah think i'll do that.. if that is the price that is fucking brilliant!! and close to home too

cheers dude

when you gonna start fitting your new painted bits then???

 

tomorrow if its not raining.

got some self amalgamating tape to re-warp the loom with. im not gunna strip off the old stuff, just tape over it as not all of it need doing but hey ho.

that should be done tomorrow too.

that is if im not fishing

 

 

fishing sod that!!! get the car done jay, i can talk cant i!

 

No, go fishing jay

 

get the car done jay!!!

 

fishing, fishing, fishing!!!!

i win my bet then

 

might do a bit of both

dont worry rich, just cos i might be fishing dont mean nothings been done to the car, there is the filler repair panle to be put in, the front lower valance to be welded on........and my dad does the welding.

oh and the car just happens to be on my parents driveway

hmm, free money

 

jay, get your dad to repair it and you sit by pond lol lol

still i wouldnt be going fishing, get the car done

 

well fishing is gunna happen somethime this week and i and gunna get on with some bits with the rs.

but i got to get some fuel for this mother so i can have a go, ive had it since xmas and only used it once, nothing to do with the fact i drove it into the washing line and bent a rollbar shock

gunna drop it in to the father inlaws to charge all the batterys ( as he got chargers for his, and no point me buy any , plus i can nab some fuel off him ) then i might take a hour out at some point and raz it about.
shes a beas, 4x4 but rides on here rear wheels when you power it up, 70 size engine, its a monster




anyhow thats enough of that, ill lave some space for some updates

 

 

 

nice 1 jay rather mess about with that than fishing

 

fishing is free though,

mind you, should would it be using that, is not my fuel ill be burning up, not my elecly charging batterys .... hmm

 

just get the car done mate, while ur round there you can use the little petrol car

 

[quote="rich p xr2t" just get the car done[/quote]

SIR YES SIR



i crashed it round my parents last time, there garden although big, its not big enough.

toys can wait, i NEED this rs back on the road

 

[quote=jayRS]
Thats better lol lol


if its to fast for you, think you might be better going finshing

get the rs done matey

 

 

it is fucking fast, but the gardens to small for it.

its great though, you put the power down and it ripps the grass up as it accelerates, and rides up on its back wheels, if you keep the power on it will flip over..... its the shit!

anyhow, some good news and some bad news, oh and some fucking bad news!

good news.
80% of the loom has been re-wrapped (got the engine loom here to do tonigh)

bad news

i have to replace the headlight bulb connection on the drivers side as im not happy with the wiring i done to the side light (explain below)
and i have to make a new bit of loom from alternator to starter motor as its fucked, and i aint paying Ł18.11 plus vat for one from fords!
nece why not all the loom is done yet.

fucking bad news (for rich)

im closer to getting it done than what i though, hmm Ł20

yeah the drivers side head light connection is a bit crap to say the least, when i fitted my cossie bumper as you all know or should know the indicator is in the bumper on the cossie bumper, and not wanting to look like a total cock by having a indicator in the bumper and next to the headlight, i converted the indicator next to the headlights into side lights, this was a while ago and the air box was still in so space wasnt on my side, i know i should of taken it out but i didnt so the connections drivers side is a big gash so its being done properly this time.
also now the indicators are in the bumper and i have nice new ones to go in, im moding the bumper indicators to take the bulb hold thats norm used in the standard indicators so new wires will be run in for them and soldered (both sides) and while im there im gunna solder up the conection for the indicator side light on the passanger side, so hence why it not all re-wrapped.

tbh, i forgot about these wires being gash but it was allowed for so dont get to attached to that 20 rich

no pic's as theres not much point yet.

 

 

nothing major today, didnt really feel in the mood to do much this morning but i did get round to doing something this after noon once i cleaned the kids rabbets out

anyhow, i wrapped the engine loom today,stripped off of the tape as it was cr@p, well it was more like someone had wrapped it in cotton so that came off.
i had to do a qick fix on my CPS plug a while ago now and the fix was so goo it still holding anyhow i got the plug that been sat there wating for ages to be fitted and fitted it, i stripped the covering off right back, and soldered the new lenth of wire with cps plug back on and as above, wrapped the whole loom
got a new loom from alternaotor to starter motor made up, i didnt do that, i had it done at a auto electrics place which is like 5 min walk from my door i only went there for the wire and some connections as i couldnt find that old bit of amp wire i had, as i was gunna do it.
anyhow he made it up for me for Ł5, and gave me 2 headlight bulb plugs and the 6 connections needed for them and seeing the focking great soldering iron he had to use on that beefy bit of wire i would still be trying to di it now if i had done it
just a shame the main wire is now brown not red, but seeing as ford wanted Ł18.11 plus vat for a stupid bit of loom like that i can live with a bit of brown wire.

modded 1 bumper indicator light to take the standard indicator bulb holder.

and thats about it from today.

 

 

nice 1 jay good see you have done some work on the motor













and not playing in the pond

 

 

 

got to get down the scrappy and get a plug for the indicator (bumper one) as i trod on it and fucking bust it

 

LOL LOL LOL u didnt wanna do that mate yeah pop down the breakers you should get 1 easy mate

 

yeah theres loads down there, escort ones and mondeo ones are the same anyhow.

it still works i just busted a tiny bit off it, but seeing as its not wired in yet why should i have a busted one

i got 2 more (not inc the one for theother side) but the wires are only about 3 inch long so not much use as im not having 2 joins, i know im soldering them and wrapping it and know one will see it but for the sake of 50p and that if he charges me at all, i might as well, plus i need some loom clips etc any way. as im not paying ford prices for them small clips.
