Fitp inspiration, thought id better crack on with the car ! got home and remembered had a old grubby spoiler covered in over spray , cleaned it up a bit but isnt great , offered it up to the car , what we think

[jonyb4]

im thinking yes!

[Ratspeed]

Yeah, then you need to fit an XR/RS kit

[Minstral]

thought you was going to leave it alone

[Excursion]

I would colour code the standard bumpers, mirrors and door handles, then paint your spoiler. Add a rear wiper and some 13" XR2i/Ghia alloys.

thought you was going to leave it alone

a standard "Ford " spoiler is hardly modifying it , plus ford just fitted them onto what ever car they wanted and sold them with spoilers anyway.... so no diffirent

mark can i ask you something?

do you know why im seing tons and tons of mk4's with these Xr alloys on?

im beginning to think they come like it as its too many to be coincidental

not that anyone used the term modifing it

i agree though, OEM+ isnt something to frown apon, especially when your young and bored, i used to say my Si wouldnt be enhanced

now look at it i even said the 1.8 wouldnt go in it!

[xr2irhys]

Yeah im unsure about spoiler if to do it or not! but the cars defiantly staying standard.

[jonyb4]

well imo if your planning to paint the bumpers, paint the spoiler too

but if not leave them all standard, or do what i done and respray them Satin!

looks much better, dont forget your roof rack strips

I am not sure...I don't think the suit the Mk4 at all.

[xr2irhys]

just tried on some amber front indicators , thought would match the side reps!

bulb holders dont fit though

[xr2irhys]

just got a few more pictures , and also of the BAD areas of the car that needs sorting







and the bad bits..

[xr2irhys]

done a bit more under rust sorting today and just had a go at cleaning the door shuts on the drivers side

[jonyb4]

cracking mate, that takes alot of effort!

[Fraggle]

Fella considering your location on this rock we all live on...That shell is propper clean ..Good Work now get a Zt in it an build a sleeper....

[xr2irhys]

[xr2irhys]

:bonkers: Fella considering your location on this rock we all live on...That shell is propper clean ..Good Work now get a Zt in it an build a sleeper....

Yeah thanks mate ,one previous owner when i bought it , two now as bought it off the bloke who had it for a few months who got it at a auction he siad , not sure what sort of driving it had with its first owner , belive the cars been kept outside most of its life too , its why im so pleased with it. the chassis at the back is a bit more hard work as thats more coroded , but its still coming back with lovely clean metal , pitted , but clean

[Fraggle]

Yeah looks a solid one...An to live outside is A credit to it...

So 400+ zetec then?.................

[xr2irhys]

:bonkers: Yeah looks a solid one...An to live outside is A credit to it...

It looks so much better with the ambers Rhys, 100%!

[emblem]

Love the ambers, i need some for my Rs.

Yours doing great job mate, keep it up.

[xr2irhys]

some may be pleased , some may not , but its getting close to the decision of stick her on the road ! , im thinking its a car , whats the point in having a car that cannot be driven , if to worry about mileage etc

change of plan , if i did put it on the road it wouldnt get done , tarting the mk4 up a bit instead so i like it

[rst-steve]

Looking good Rhys!

Love the ambers, i need some for my Rs.

Yes you do!

[xr2irhys]

sorting a bit of rust on boot lid today, before spreads any more , started off as a chip and spread outwards, and was alot larger than when got the car.

will get some pictures once its all been flatterned and polished in , hopfully the colour match is ok

[Michael!]

It's good to see someone putting this effort into keeping one of these standard Rhys!

Rather than trying for a fast engine + rs/si kit.

I'm sure somewhere down the line mr zetec will pop round though and convince you to sleeper it :')

[jonyb4]

f**k yea!

zetec it in the future

[xr2irhys]

having a few troubbles with the painting , spoke to a paint sprayer and says the such a small area is a problem , so going to take it to the edge of the bootlid in the corner , and up to the boot lock for below the lock.

[xr2irhys]

area prep work



primered




first coat of colour applied

[xr2irhys]

[jonyb4]

good job

but personally id never had masked like that, a sudden stop in the paint layers leaves a big step, when you take the tape and masking away, your left with a solid line thats very hard to sand back

[xr2irhys]

the masking tape was curled at the edges every time , can you not tell from the finished thing? its not been wet sanded or anything.

UNLESS your refering to first way i tried , which the area was way to small to work with , which is why changed my method as shown today.

[xr2irhys]

[xr2irhys]

wings coming off as a bit scabby , also new front valance to be fitted along with both wings ,
inner wings being cleaned up and any scabby bits wire brushed back and resealed with paint , then whole area will be covered with waxoyl
