blu3is mk4 project
just joind so might as well make my first post a good one
so i bought this mk4 for a few pennys a year or 2 ago as my first car and instantly fell in love with it.
the day i got it after a quick wash
then the moding started (ya i no i didnt have the best taste at the start)
then i had a go at spraying the dash
bump strips came off
then i made a mesh grill with a blue fiesta badge
then the black lexarse lights
they didnt last long, i came to sense and made these for myself (also came across that tuning badge for nothing)
the parsil shelf was looking a bit gammy from sun damage and stuff so i bought some leather and wiped this up
then winter hit and prity much all of my wheels buckled in the giant potholes caused by the ice
so i found a set of ford aloys for free, little did i no they could only hold in air for about 3 days i thought i struck gold when my uncle said i could hav these for nothing if they fit but the spacing was wrong so after half a summer of changing and pumping tires i got these of a friend who bought new alloys for his 306 i think they look nice
then got rid of the silver mesh and badge and made this
also got this sticker from a car show (iv never even been to that site) also you can see i was trying to restore my gammy bumpers
made these in photoshop
then i got this spoiler for a 10r and sprayed it matt black
and got a few stickers
and got a new style fiesta badge (they look savage imho)
and a nice interior shot
i built this Speaker's inclosure for my leaving cert construction project and covered it in leather
then got this sun strip at japfest waited till newyears day to put it on tho, ****ing loved it thought it looked the **** but a week later sum **** puled it off in a car park
R.I.P:(
and 2 weeks ago i finally got my ass in gear.
started on the front bumper. matte black
then primed and gave 1 coat to the roof as it was getting late
then a week later the back
sanded
primed
painted
then decided to go a bit mad and do the bonnet (still wet in these but looks prity good now that its dry if i do say so myself)
and thats houw she sits at the moment ^ i have loads of plans for it tho
got these springs from Irish_zs over on zsoc last week, that man is a ledgend and thanks agin if your reeding this. there 35mm
today i replaced my front shocks springs and drop links
before
during
my gfs brother who was giving me a hand, this was when my arch tryed to eat him
old spring next to the newer ones i got from irish zs
