Re: fiesta rs turbo rebuild, day out today
not yet mate, not had a chance, which aint too bad as i now need to sort that spinder crack as i aint leaving it.
pain really, but if i dont sort it it will get worse.
i'll have it all sorted by FF though, i still need to sort the bonnet as its still got the key mark in it

Re: fiesta rs turbo rebuild, day out today
cheers dude.
i will be changing the wheels soon though as i have some mondeo 16's, rather than fit new tyres to these as the front tyres are starting to go on the inside i noticed at weekend, so much for the £30 tracking but there still good so will do the back for now.
the wheels do look better on the xr2 i have to say, but there to me, a wheel that looks great at one angle, ok at another and hmm, and another

Re: fiesta rs turbo rebuild, more new bits, bargin!
more bargins
some might remember when i built my engine the only bits i never re-newed were the rocker arms etc, and i was gunna do it after but never got round to it as the arms are like £9 each or something and it was looking to be costing me about £130 so as i say never got round to it.
but
tonight i have won 8 brand spanking new gen ford rocker arms from ebay, £21.02 inc the post, paid for already so should be with me over weekend or next week
just need to get the seats and the washers now, but these are not that expensive from what i remember, will be having a word with my parts man to see what price i can get them for
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0058002798
as a little update, i havent got round to sorting the bumper or the key mark in the bonnet yet, but i have decided to save for a full respray/blow over as there is areas i am not happy with still, so the key mark in the bonnet will be flatted/compounded out best it can, and the bumper will still be repaired for ford fair, as some point between now and then

this time i'll get a body shop to do it, will get a better finish and best of all i dont have to fcuk about with it!
tbh im not happy with the finish, it was rushed towards the end and things went wrong which ment more paint etc and it to me, is a good, but rushed job which i think shows, so before i even put it forward to go in a mag, i want it blow over
