cool, hope you manage to get them mate!

[Ratspeed]

Still waiting on the reply about cossie rims

But, ive removed the rubstrips from the doors, which meant tedious removal of glue and 10 years of grime! Then i painted the tow eye cover 'roll cage' white so its completely wrong but better than missing one, and then gave it another bloody good clean. The paint is starting to come good eventually too.
I've also located a GTi interior and skirts for a bargain price but i'm not sure if its worth the 260 odd mile round trip to collect them

anyhows, a few pics

[jonyb4]

well i meant a giggle, but we can go with your word

[]cal[]

looks well clean, wicked mate

[Ratspeed]

Right, i wasn't happy with the way it sat after the Spax springs were fitted, so now the 50mm fronts are fitted with, ahem,"custom" rear springs to drop the back 50mm too instead of the 40mm the spax supposedly dropped it ,even though it was more like 20mm.

So heres how it sits now


But then yeaterday i stubled upon a set of genuine MK5 RS2000 side skirts for the bargain sum of £20!

So yesterday afternoon i fitted them.........








And now its booked in at the bodyshop next monday to get the rear bumper, sideskirts, front bumper, doors up to the swage line and rear arches done.

Me saying "this is just a runabout and its staying as it is" seem a distant memory now!

[Ratspeed]

Oh, and fitted some sounds from my old blue fez so now the mirrors and bootlid nearly shake off!

[jonyb4]

lol sounds liek your having fun with this new run around, the wheels are lovely in that colour mate i love metallic grey

naughty naughty chopping springs

[Ratspeed]

[jonyb4]

lol well theyre gas chopped then

[EUFez]

Looking sweettttt! Slam it on it's arse.

[Ratspeed]

lol well theyre gas chopped then

No, just squashed a little!

[jonyb4]

OOH compressed them as if it was weight on them

[Ratspeed]

OOH compressed them as if it was weight on them

You've got it!

Yeah, just compressed them to the lenght i wanted, warmed them up all round, let them cool a litlle and let the clamps off then quenched them in oil.
then give em a coat of paint and jobs a good un

[jonyb4]

lol not bad

you should have saved yoursefl the money and done it to your standard springs lol

[mrorange2]

What bodyshop you using mate i could do with getting some bits sorted on the Fiesta.

[Ratspeed]

What bodyshop you using mate i could do with getting some bits sorted on the Fiesta.

I'm using Tony Youdale in Brigg matey. He does it for right money and does a decent job. He did all the bodywork/painting on My old Blue Fiesta and i couldn't fault it.

Do do the Escort bumpers, sideskirts, door and wing bottoms and rear arches hes charging £250. Thats with mates rates and trade discount but if you tell him i sent you he will see you right

And Johnny boy, I'm still using the Spax front springs and the rear ones might come in to use at some time. I was a bit dissapointed with the rear Spax's to be honest because it hardly lowered it. just made it a bit bumpier. In all honesty it drives better with the setup i've got at the moment

[mrorange2]

Thats a wicked price doubt id get anything near that you got his number might give him a call.

[Ratspeed]

Fresh from the bodyshop. I love it!

[MK3-MATT]

Awesome You still need to stick the RS18 lump in

[Ratspeed]
