that said, we need to get another one, as it is actually different to the others, i thought it was the same but it isn't

Pics look good, they are all cropped on my screen though brian, might need resizing? Also are there none of the whole car?

[Ratspeed]

Why not get a couple of the rims I got on my Puma, they were the right offset so you wouldnt need spacers werent they?

[~nomad~]

cos we can seem to find them anywhere.

[Rhinopower]

That and the proposed brakes need the wheel to be spaced further away

[~nomad~]

That and the proposed brakes need the wheel to be spaced further away

and the rears wont need any spacing if we fit the zetec s rear beam

[Max M4X WW]

ZS beam isnt any wider unless you fit discs

[~nomad~]

i know

[~nomad~]

anyone know what the ford name is for the blue on this s**t? need to get some rattle cans, mint it up like.

[Max M4X WW]

Someone with a decent copy of microcat (not mine) will be able to look the colour up from the reg!

[~nomad~]

[~nomad~]

Little mini update. Had a couple hours today so me and Brian did a nice ghetto stereo install and a even more ghetto strut brace install.

First up the stereo, the car already has a Alpine flipout screen and a hongkongphooey dvd headunit. We did that a while ago, but didn't change the stock speakers. So today Brian threw in a nice pair of kenwood front speakers that I have had in the garage for ever (along with a few other sets from various cars I have broken), these were a nice simple fit, using self drilling screws and the stock wiring (I think).
The rear speakers were from a zetec s me and Clark (knuckles) broke a couple weeks ago, they are JBL 6x9s, these were screwed to the ghettotastic battered stealth shelf, which I think was in the (in)famous french frst. One of the little bars that slide into the shelf supports was missing, luckily I had a old 1/4 inch extension bar and a hammer, so thats now sorted. To call it a stealth shelf is a bit of a joke really, it might be stealth in a scrapyard, where I suspect it would blend in nicely. I might cover it with a comedy flag of some nature.
Anyways, Brian also ran some proper speaker cable to the back for the speakers (i don't think this car had rear speakers) . He may have done this neatly, I havn't actually looked, lets say he did.

Heres some pics of the parts that went into this no expense spared (free) install.




dat shelf is well phat blud.



banging sounds ahoy!

while Brian was doing this I decided that the frst front strut brace I had in the garage could probably be gently modified to fit around the zetec, using delicate fabrication methods.

so I stuck it in the vice and bent the granny out of it until it was about right, then smashed the f**k out of it with a lump hammer until it cleared the inlet. Then I used some selfdrillers to fit it. It needs bigger ones really, the ones there do the job, but look a bit weedy!

Heres a couple of pics, please remember I have been at the s**t for years now, don't be disheartened if you don't see pro results like this on your first attempt, fabbin' ain't easy





wow! modding on the next level tbh. I might strip it and give it a lick of paint, as the brace was in the elements for a while so its somewhat faded.

In other news, Brian has cut his hair, I can only imagine the pussy he will attract now.

Here are a couple pics to enjoy while you reflect on the above. A beesting ariel that you can only dream of recreating (unless you also own sidecutters obviously) and some writing in ice that surely would reflect this cars wishes if it was a little boy and not a motorcar.

[Ruishy1]

love the strut brace

sometimes there is only one way, and that way is with a hammer.

No comment.

Good progress, But the JVC 6x9's look remarkably like JBL 6x9's
