Love the body kit, really finishes it off!

Parking sensors are a neat touch.....

 

Thank you,the kit has been a real pain,had to chop the sill pieces and make out of a couple of spares and praise to Chris at the shop for the idea of turning the spare arches over like he has at the rear
I/we think it's a great compromise

The sensors shud be very discreet tucked away in the valance under the tailgate

 

Just been down the shop and thought I would share the progress
The rear tub has been flatted in preparation for a upol raptor application which is being tinted to the body colour.The raptor is a two pack resin mix that is sprayed on and forms a water tight covering that is (supposedly)indestructible.
It will look amazing if the sample panels he has made up are anything to go by.A different finish is gained by playing with the spray gun pressure.Decided to spray the timber rail,whilst the workmanship is great I just felt the timber neither complimented nor contrasted enough

 

Hi,finally got her back from the shop and have set about fitting the rear parking sensors



Measure twice drill once!!!








Hardly noticeable

 

Really pleased with the outcome of the work to bring the kit to a more pleasing finish.



Took a lot of brainstorming to arrive at this point



Fibreglass to the rescue !!



The problem was that the rear arch was originally meant to sit on a rear bumper and was never intended for a bumper less truck !!

 

Cannot believe my good fortune !!!
Found this set of near mint recaros not far from me-almost gave up and so now at the fourth attempt I am finally happy with my ass companion

:w all:

:bowdown :

 

Where they from haydock?

 

Proper seats these.

 

Thanks- they are "proper" and we're is this Haydock you speak of ?????

 

Seen this parked up the other morning in Nutgrove and again today on the East Lancs near Kirkby.

 

Hi,thanks for the comment,I like to get her out as much as possible,next time stop and we can chat all things escort

 

I was in my escort going the other way

 

Just fitted my fifth set of seats and these will be the last - really chuffed with the darker grey cloth and the red accent - the bolsters are much more substantial

 

What have you done with the other seats?

 

Hi,sorry sold via eBay,but am on the lookout for a set of front genuine rubber waffle mats

 

New repro ones on series one site

 

Thanx for the info I'll check it out,I'll be out an about at the weekend so if ya fancy a coffee an car meet let me know pal

 

There's a Ford meet on Thursday night in Lydiate.

Only 10 mins down the M57.

 

Alas Thursday is not good for me this week,is that a weekly/monthly event????

 

See thread titled 'north west' in the regional groups (NW England)...

 

Just an update
The truck has been into Stevens autocraft to have a frozen white makeover
Then the most bizarre by chance meeting with Geoff (Chorley st garage Bolton) resulted in me finally getting a set of RS7s-Geoff is one of the most genuine guys I have ever met

 

Still looking good matey.

 

 

What are those spot lights......I like those a lot

 

Thanx as it happens I have a 2nd set brand New that I don’t need .they are ring that I sprayed white

 

Reminds me of this

 

You would not the first guy to not realise the difference between mine and a chopped up Frankenstein’s botch up but not every realises they are factory made

 

Have I not seen this advertised somewhere for sale recently?

 

Yes john ,it is currently on eBay.i have found a new project and sadly only have one garage otherwise she would be staying put

 

I knew the difference, just thought you and others might be interested.....seems not by the chippy reply.

Thank You, I do not have any more, Guy Martin has it now, I think he has plans for Pikes Peak and he has my old engine now.
