you need to sort that bumper out though mate,. its letting the front down.
best bet, take both front and rear off, get 1/4 litre of the blue, and drop them to me, ill beat them back and sort them and repaint them for ya

knuckles :They are just normal hella spot lamps but they mount on the proper ford brackets like the Carello lamps do.

The mk2 won't be seeing the xr2 body kit. I've thought about it but I prefer the car looking as standard as possible.


So glad your not fitting the kit, just looks a bit odd when the car is in non xr2 colours with an xr2 kit fitted imo

@knuckles
What hella spots are they? I've seen some comet 500's for pretty cheap and was wondering if they'd fit the standard xr2 mk2 brackets? Cheers!

will check the lamps on sunday take some pics etc . They simply click into the brackets then slide the retaining bolt through like the standard hella ones do

I think the spots would look good with some hella covers on them?? Love this car though, pretty mint imo :)

Just been looking through this again because i knew you had fitted a money servo...

Is the mondeo mastercylinder and servo you fitted non ABS? Ive read that ideally it needs to be a non ABS one, because if it is an ABS on then theres to many outlets?

I thought all the mk2 Mondeos had ABS though? :-? Meaning I would have to source an early mk1 item which didnt have ABS.

Im Planning on doing some upgrades to the B reg over winter, because im determined to do more track days init next year, hence the above.

Jayrs obtained my parts from scrap yard. So I don't what car it came from.

That's probably right regarding mk2 mondeo all with abs. But I defo sure the brake servos are the same between the mk1 & mk2.
You would need a brake master cylinder non abs from a mk1 then just block off the hydrolic clutch take off like i did.
I did need to open up the mounting holes of the bracket from the mk2 fiesta bracket. Then gently re-bend a few brake pipes to fit the cylinder.

Ok, so im best trying to source a mk1 item.

I will keep a look out on the bay and call some local scrap yards.

Good news on the feature as well, look forward to reading that. Zetec mk2's are cool!

Sir Michael! :pictures are quality!

its a keeper sleeper indeed :lol:

up next when it happens is better suspension. Maybe coilovers
It defo needs stronger springs.

i was toying with 14 inch steel wheels but that means downgrading the front brakes :(

i liked the term keeper sleeper :lol:

what brakes has it got? surely you could give the calipers a little shave?

think it would look better with smaller wheels and a bit lower :)

i do like the trims on it as it is too though!

Calipers are fiesta ST with escort rs2000 discs.
I don't think shaving calipers will be no where near the space required.

I really could do with a 14 inch steel wheel to trial fit :)
