I dont think they are for this model as they were a bit bigger and i had to cut them, but the moulding was the same.. the finis code on the box was
Finnis1664795 hope this helps with your search...the guy had one in stock, and i collect the other tomorrow as its being ordered in. I warn you tho they are expensive..

Your a gentleman

Very nice! You've missed off the bulkhead sound deadening, was that intentional?

All the internal sound deadening has gone back on the bulkhead as it should be..your gonna have to explain more mate ..cos i may have missed somethin and you got me worried now..

The bulkhead deadening should go from the bottom of the windscreen, right the way down to the front edge of the centre console and base of the pedals.

The upper section behind the dash usually has a grey coating, and the bottom part is bare underlay. The lower part usually gets wet and manky so is ripped off and discarded. Is that the case here?

[Jay001]

Ah i get ya, when i was taking it apart it only had sound deadening/underlay about half way up the bulk head just under where the brake servo bolts to the bulkhead, which i have replaced...it just doesnt show in the pic as i hadnt put it in, I need to explain that this is my first ever resto and if it wasnt there when i took it out it wont be going back in as i have no frame of reference..but thanks for telling me, ill see if i can get some for there as the dash is coming out again when ive found a good one with no holes..

[RS EDDIE]

Out of interest mat, what sort of price did the bolts cost ya as im thinking of ordering some up maself???

[Jay001]

sorry eddie, i did get your PM but my mate had the reciept to pick the rest of the parts up today..for all the bolts it cost me £41.06 +VAT and all of them are available.

[Jay001]

Ok been out working on the car the past couple of days and done some more...altho today i was gonna sell it, think ive hit a bit of a low patch...i cant seem to find some of my bits, stuff wasnt going right..i even had a tantrum, it was just pi**in me right off..anyway i have managed to get the suspension in and on and fitted..see what you think




If anything its the only thing that has given me any hope of finishing it..may have a day off tomorrow and sort myself out..
I do have a question to ask..if you have fitted these before do i need to fit the rear strut top rubbers in the cups? as my poly bush ones dont fit very well?? and they already have 2 bump stops fitted to the strut bar, any thoughts..

[rs220bhp]

Ive had them fitted with and without the rubbers in the cups, doesnt really make a difference as the rubber is only to keep the spring located on the middle, the coilovers have there own cups to keep it all together

[mies1974]

very very nice....

[RS EDDIE]

Keep it up mate, looking sharp. Your ahead of me now as ive been lazy.

Ive just got a full ford microcat reader with all exploded diagrams and finis numbers etc, so if ya get stuck with where summink goes or need a part number and rough price mate, just let me know.

Keep going itll be worth it!!!

[Jay001]

Cheers for the encouragement eddie..i mustered a few hours today and decided to put some interior in, sprayed up my fuel lines and cleaned my brake lines ect ect..


i need a few choice bits and i can finish it off and put the kit and bumpers back on...then on with the engine build..

[Jay001]

Been out again yesterday and today to do a few bits, Fitted the fuel tank..the pictures make it look better than it is

Fuel and brake lines in aswell, before you comment on the black underside i know its not ideal or shiney red that'll have to wait till winter

and of course passes the inspection from my daughter

finished the boot off

and put the headlining in

I also started on the repair to my fuse box, once i got it labelled up and out it doesnt look as daunting..i did find that the previous owner had bypassed the inertia switch, when i tested it it had a dodgy connection/loose wire at the plug. Probably took more efoort to bypass it than to fix it, that or just didnt know how to test it.

so all in all a quite productive 2 days might have a rest tomorrow

[jayrs]

they the sunroof drains hanging out there mate?


also whats going on with the fuse box

[Jay001]

yes mate, i changed the hosing for silicone hose and fed it through in an effort to stop them draining into the inner sills, just gotta find a route for the front ones..The fuse box needs attention as some of the wiring has been chopped, and partially burnt out, i got a partial loom with a fuse box so i am just swapping over connectors i.e Fuel pump relay and just generally making it more reliable for peace of mind.

[jayrs]

ah i see.

the front ones can also be done the same, but theres a jacking support in the way.

[jonyb4]

at the fuse box
glad that aint my job ha


the underside is too clean! id hate to pass a puddle!

looks great

[Fraggle]

Cracking as always Hope the quality control were'nt too strict on you,mine Bloody are

[Dave G fsi]

Looking really good there mate, keep it up

[RS EDDIE]

Come on!!!! Wheres the updates man!!!!

[DAGET]

Quality resto!

[Jay001]

sorry guys, its come to a bit of a standstill, Ive had a week or 2 off from it, as i was about to smash it to pieces with a hammer..I should be pickin a few bits up soon..was thinkin about goin FITP this weekend.
I started to fit my body kit and it seems that one of the rear arches has become deformed and wont fit properly, so it really started to p**s me off..Ill update again soon.

[jayrs]

if its on the arch lip that fits against the rear quarter, remove the form tape and replace it with double sided sticky foam tape and that should sort it.
if its on the lower part of the rear quarter, is it clipping into the stainless bracket fully as they can make it bow out a bit
