Car was placed onto the dyno today to check over everything with the new clutch/flywheel. All is sweet and as it was before.

Gave it a quick wash before it was taken to the body shop this afternoon where it will be for the next 5 days.

 

Nice one mate........ Is it just having a freshen up? Or a complete different colour?

 

Just freshen up in the same colour. The years of grinding,cutting roofs off and painting inside white etc has paid its toll on the outside finish.

 

The work has started.

 

Nice one mate bet you feel its never ending

keep up the good work!

 

Ford Nordic Green

I shall try my best

 

luke have you converted your wings to bolt on? i swear i read about it on here somehwere but started looking through your thread but gave up after about page 18 if so was it simply a case of drilling and bolting?

 

probably used cap nuts

 

Pretty much yes.

The original wings we cut out and modified to take the drag wheel/tyres.
Then when the track wheels were fitted they looked lost and stupid.

So i drilled out the spot welds and had these wings painted.
Then fitted some standard wings/arches which bolt on. I simply fitted rivnuts to the holes that i drilled for the spot welds.

6 bolts and the wings drop off.

 

rivnuts, that it, i knew what i meant..lol

 

Language barrier mate thats all

 

Nice one cheers mate and top effort spiky close enough mate lol
So are they only bolted along the top then luke?

 

Your a bufty tart

 

Ok you got me... 7 bolts


One on the sill, one below indicator and five along the top of the wing.

 

Agreed....

 

Luke this if one of the best mk3 fiesta's out there the car is top quality mate and the attention to detail is tip top keep up the good work.

 

Time attack beckons ???

 

Yeah it would be great to see the fiesta handing evo's and scooby's there ass's

 

 

i like the new rear spoiler,

looks like an intergralle one

 

comes with a wall too

 

Looking good Luke, be done in no time at this pace

 

5 days so far....

Should! be ready to collect Monday/Tuesday - fingers crossed.

Need to get the garage painted this weekend or its going green/white speckled finish
