[Dazza]

Id hazard a guess and say to you 'spybeycustom I think it would be called a rear light panel' to which you may respond 'doh!'

[spybeycustoms]

ha! yeah thats wot i thought till i go to panel suppliers ask if they got one in or can get one and they cant help me ether.

[Dazza]

Check on eBay, should be on there

yep tryed that to. i thought it might be part or the rear quarter but had no luck with that ether.

[jayrs]

the rear light panel as its called is seperate from the rear quater etc, why not just get down scrappy and cut one out?

mk 3's are gold dust at scrap yards round my way but il keep looking anyway.

[zetec-jay]

have ya tried looking at a picture of a rear panel?
bit of a long shot but have y atried ford to c what they say it might be called etcc, they may be able to get ya 1 too.

[jayrs]

ah right, not much good then if none at scrappers mate.
i dont offer this much no more due to being fcuked about and left out of pocket, but if you need one that bad i can always get you one from scrappy near me and send it mate, but i would want payment up front before i went to scrappy for reasons above mate

[spybeycustoms]

na i understand that, and its very kind il keep looking for now tho but will get back to you on that tho if its ok?

[spybeycustoms]

hey guys.. hope everyone is well?? since i was last on iv been going over my car and this is wot iv come up with, she needs to front floor pans, one rear n/s floor pan both sills. off side inner sill to.
2new wings, slam panal, front cross member, and rear valence plus their may be few bits iv not seen yet!!
i dont need to tell you wot these cars mean, iv had her 10years and im going to keep her another 10 yet so iv got my work cut out but i will keep up dating anyway and wen i can figure how to put pictures up i will from now right through to wen i spray her and she's finished. look forward to hearing your veiws and points..

[spybeycustoms]

hey ppl.. iv finished the passenger front floor pan i brought a mk1 fiesta panel with a little moding the bits i needed fitted perfect so now the drivers side which iv started few days ago got a new sill coming to as its rotten in and outside to but its gettin their....

[sexydean]

sounds good so far mate, i have just had to put 2 new floor pans in mine and bottom of the bulk head, i used sheeted steel and made it, also 2 new rear quaters and 2 new wings, bloody fords but worth it lol, keep up the good work buddy

[spybeycustoms]

hey ppl, its been along time since been on here!!
anyway iv been to the garage to start my car again theirs even more rust now ha..
plus wen i started it theirs loads of blue smoke can anyone tell me wot it is?
thought it was the turbo or valve seals but im not sure it has been sitting for very long time now. will post pictures very soon its gonna be a long build!!

[4992jk1]

blue smoke is usually oil, it could be a leak in the turbo, or piston rings have gone.
James

[jayrs]

does the smoke clear after a few mins? if so then its stem seals more than likly

[spybeycustoms]

well its been sitting for 6years or more i started it last year wen i moved it, it smoked 10minutes then was ok but wen i started it few days ago it smokes real bad.. do u think the weather has done the seals in on the turbo?

[jayrs]

na weather wouldnt of done that, might need time, without seeing the amount of smoke and the smoke it self i couldnt really say what the cause is more than likly to be, give it a run and see what happens

[spybeycustoms]

its got no airfilter on it, someone told me that wud make it smoke cos its sucking all the oil into the pistons and it might be smoking because of that.. would that happen? iv never heard of that before.

[jayrs]

na air filter wont make it do that.
only way it can smoke blue via air intake is is say turbo seal on the intake side is gone and the intake pipes full of oil

[spybeycustoms]

ok i suppose ill have to leave it for now as its been cut up everywhere with a grinder, no front end no doors no seals no rear quarter no rear panel dont think ill get far with that, ha. ill leave it running for a bit see wot happens. thanks for your help tho jay.

[jayrs]

might prove a prob taking it for a spin like that

[spybeycustoms]

Yeah def would. You still got ur fiesta rs then, is it still on the rd?
Iv been trying to put me pictures on of me car do u need to pay for
the year to put pictures on.

[jayrs]

yeah still got the RS.
no you dont have to pay, get a photobucket account, upload the pics to that site and copy and past the img link here when you write and once submitted it will show the pics

[spybeycustoms]

oh ok thanks ill try that as iv got quite a few id like to put on showing the state of it, cant believe wot a few years outside can do. how long you owned your rs? iv had mine 12years couldnt bring myself to scrap it so the long build is wot needs to be done!! i cud never get rid of it..

[jayrs]

i know what ya mean , ive had mine for just over 12 years too, nov 97 i got mine, it was the 7th, and if i recall, i arrived in poole at about 10:10am to collect it too and thats the truth

[spybeycustoms]

Wow thats a long drive to pick it up. I see u stripped yours a while back and did everything, it was looking mint is it still like it?

[jayrs]

yep still like it mate.
will tax it over next week or so and get her out again.
i only drive her in summer time now

[spybeycustoms]

Yeah I don't blame you their getting rare now anyway, well good ones are
hopfully I'll spray mine next summer just want to get the metal work done this yeah
as I only have 2days a week to work on it and theirs so much to do.
I was gonna kit it up with kit, wheels, and full cream leathers but something keeps
telling me to just leave it standard.

[jayrs]

kit wise, i wouldnt go over the top, deffo wouldnt blend any kit to the body, thats just asking for trouble.
but anything you do that can be undone easy is ok, if a year down the line you want standard, then you put it back to standard, even easier if you have all the standard bits stroed like me.
well i am missing a few bits like carpet, and some odd bits of grey trim but everything else i got

[spybeycustoms]

Yeah I'd def keep all my bits iv got half a car sitting their now of spares it just mounts up.
The only thing I'm gonna change is the lights front n back iv seen couple I like so I'll be
cutting up the front end but an easy fix ain't it. But I'll def go with the cream leathers
I just think their end up like the s1 one day n their really nice standard.

[jayrs]

sounds good mate, look forward to seeing it when its done
