looks like its coming on alright mate

and yeah, when you think ya done theres more, it is a pain, but worth it in the end though

[spybeycustoms]

yeah maybe, guess im having one of those days but its a new one 2moro so ill try again. im having trouble with the sill its not linein up properly so i guess ill be cutting and bending some more 2moro.

[jayrs]

thats the problem with pattern parts, they never fit right, some are better than others, some are just pure scrap metal!

[spybeycustoms]

yeah true. well iv still not done it, me and a mate finished up the floor today so thats another job done. only 2sills, 2wings, front slame pannel, oh n crossmember left now the bodywork list has def come down alot theirs light at the end now!!

[spybeycustoms]

hi ppl. just a quick up date..
got the sill on now took quite a while ill go to a garage next time it needs doing, what an a*se whole job!! ha..
but anyway just need to weld the rear panel to it fully and couple other bits then its ready
for prep when the rest is done but its looking good!!!!!

[DanFraser]

This is a damn good restoration job, keep going!

[jayrs]

how come you found it a bad job mate? did it not fit right?

[spybeycustoms]

thanks bud it seams your getting no where when your looking at it from where i am thought bout scrapping it good few times!!

[spybeycustoms]

how come you found it a bad job mate? did it not fit right?

it was more to do with crap parts . it was to short by an inch and it threw the whole thing out
it took me bout 2half hours to put on but it was a pretty good job in the end its just not finished yet, and iv still got the other side to cut off yet and do that sill.
ill do it this time but i think ill pay someone next time just to watch them get annoyed
while i relax.

i thought you were gunna say that, thats the problem with pattern parts, 75% of them are pure $hit

[spybeycustoms]

yeah i know that now, .. it took me ages was really stressing me out but it would be silly to thinks its going to be easy a! plus its the first sill iv put on so its all good it was an adventure!!

[jayrs]

thing is though, the next pattern sill in the rack could of been a spot on fit, its hit and miss really, but still, as you found out, its all fun and games and its all experiance

[spybeycustoms]

yeah true, i never looked at it like that. well ill see how the other one lines up when it comes then i can get on with cutting the old one off cant do nothing while im waiting its the longest part..

[jayrs]

i know mate, worst bit is when it gets to you and you walk away and dont go back for about 6 months, i done that when i was doing my RS, the clips that hold the fuel and brake lines on got to me so much as they kept breaking and all that, that i thought fcuk you, im off, and i didnt go back for 6 motnhs, worst thing i could of done, so yeah, the waiting, directly or in directly by you is not good

[spybeycustoms]

I like the way you put that iv thought that so many times
even wanted to kick the crap out of it but then thought na I'm gonna have
to fix it after I smile at times like these though, it dose annoy you but
you can't let it get the better of you after all it is only a car!!
But I'll keep pushing on as normal no one else is gonna do it and I want my b1tch back
on the road.

[jayrs]

i would kick the crap out of my car, she means too much to me, but as shes classed as a female, like all females, sometimes you just have to walk away when there having a off day

[spybeycustoms]

yeah thats true, nothing but stress!!!! i finished me sill today still waiting on the other side tho, it will be christmas soon to.

[jayrs]

. na your be alright mate, it will all come together in the end

[spybeycustoms]

yeah its just the engine that bothers me. i had a look at your xr its going to be a nice car wen its done. i had an E reg one years ago was still mint just sitting in the garage till the ppl moved whos garage it was and bloody council come and crushed it. was screwing wen i found out, that was only couple years ago their worth real good money now.

[jayrs]

cheers fella

and your old one....
did the people not tell you they moved so you could collect it, bloody hell mate, even avrage to needing a little work will go for about a grand, $hits ones about £500

[spybeycustoms]

na they didnt say nothing. i paid 2300 for it in 1994 cos it was mint drove it for 3years then put it in the garage it was their for years but then got scraped.

[jayrs]

[spybeycustoms]

i know!! worst part of it was i had my bro's petrol gocart chained to the back of it to keep it safe the took that too, i was well annoyed haha!

[spybeycustoms]

drivers sill is complete now i gave it a bit of paint earlier looks really nice now
will be perfect once its had a skim of filler..

took a picture of under the passenger side sill to looks even worse since i last looked,
still aint got the new one yet its been 5days now, how long dose it take they must of had to make it first!!!!!

[jayrs]

fcukers

[spybeycustoms]

fcukers

!!! yeah thats what iv been thinking to..

[spybeycustoms]

Sills come now took a while with the front crossmember to
so I'll be busy fitting them once it stops raining and iv got time
but it's all good so far.

[jayrs]

keep up the good work mate

[spybeycustoms]

Yeah thanks jay it's getting their now with each bit that's done
being closer. I don't know wot I'll do wen I'm not laying on the
ground getting burnt but wot ever it's better than that. Ha.

[jayrs]

yeah know what ya mean mate, after i done mine, i started on another

[spybeycustoms]

yeah i was thinking that tonight, cos ill have to much time.. before i started my fiesta i was doing a series2 that was nice car wish i never sold it!! so might get a series1 this time or escort van n turbo that. im to into my old school..

[jayrs]

get a xr2 mate

[spybeycustoms]

yeah i would do but it would have to be mint inside im not fussed about the outside ill do that but the inside i like looking good from the start. you got to love then cars though, little gocarts back in their day ha. got some good memorys!!

[jayrs]

plenty about with rotton panels, insides can be ok, but your prob never get a mint inside with rotton outside due to age, but thats not to say there not out there.
best off searching the bay mate

this one could be a good one, but i reckon it will see a grand easy
