Good evening every1 well finally my local sprayer got in touch with me after a week of waiting.so i headed dwn to his workshop and we had a chat about what i wanted.after a quick chat (2hours later chatting about everything with a rs badge on it) i got my qoute and have been told the wprk can b started in march and ready for central day so hopefuly if all goes well it will b nice and shiney and all flocked ready for te new show season and hopefuly grab another article in FF all going well. Jimmy im sure ud love to c ur car back amongst the pages with its fresh look.

[FRSJON]

[mitchrs4]

Yh im not looking forward to it to b honest but i no if i hang arpund it wont get done ans my money will b spent on something else.in tlks now with the flocking company on gettig it reduced as it will b free advertising as such on a well known car on the schene tht should get plenty of attention.hopefuly
Me being a cheeky git and asking i can pull it off and get it done dirt cheep

[jimmyesh]

[FRSJON]

[rst-steve]

after a quick chat (2hours later chatting about everything with a rs badge on it)

haha same old Smarty it was the same when i had my mirrors done, we were chatting for aaaaages! He's a top bloke tho

in tlks now with the flocking company on gettig it reduced as it will b free advertising as such on a well known car

That is an AWESOME idea chap......... and very true! Free advertising afterall

Can't wait to see it finished!

[mitchrs4]

Well all i can do is ask the question and explain its a featured car and hopefuly will b again soon and see.if u dont ask u dont get thts my way of thinking

[mitchrs4]

another quick update just got off the phone to kev(the guy whos going to be flocking all the stuff) and he seems very keen to come u with some sort of deal with me.so ive just gotta get it all out now and get it ready to send.its not going to be a huge saving but any saving is good with me.so next thing will be advice on where to put his logo/sticker so it doesnt look totaly gash ideas plz.

[fezza89]

stick it under one of the rear lights

[rst-steve]

Under the Ford badge on the right hand side of the tailgate or bottom right of the rear screen........... you may need to remove some stuff first tho for that

If all the other bits and bobs are staying, bottom left of the rear screen imo chap

[mitchrs4]

Yh was thinking bout the screen just so its close to the work thts been done but dunno gotta see wot size he sends me lol

[mitchrs4]

a lil bit of a update after a long day in the wind and cold Armed with a cuppa and a fresh 20 deck it had come the time to get the parts out that needed flocking.after getting everything ready to pull the dash out there where some big issues wich held it up quite badly.the dash was as free as it could possibly be but still not coming out.after closer inspection i saw that some of the wiring loom was thread thro areas that ment i either had to cut the loom or cut the dash to slide the loom thro.(no not any areas tht could be seen) in the end the decision was made to cut the dash as i didnt fancy tracing wires back and trying to connect them all again .once tht drastic action was taken out came the dash.

OMG was my 1st reaction more wires and part of the loom everywhere.yes ok i didnt exspect it to be pristine but at the same time i was amazed it all fitted behind the dash.so the last 2-3 hours of my afternoon has been tidying the loom up with re-routing the loom and re-taping it up.hopefuly this will help with fitting the dash back in but also give me some peace of mind that its how'd id like it to be.

so for now its time to get hold of kev and get the flocking process started

i have got pics but crnt compress them

[FRSJON]

thought it would be a nightmare mate..

[mitchrs4]

http://s953.photobucket.com/albums/ae11 ... s4/rs1800/ theres the album with pics in if u fancy a look.link should work.bits of car all in ma dads house haha now taking up the spare room

[FRSJON]

jesus dont envy you at all putting that back together......but....dash will look cool

[mitchrs4]

yh had a quick tidy up with it today but still plenty of wiring fixs to do but its getting there v slowly.carefuly picking my way thro it all to see what can b removed to make abit more space and what carnt.it will get there

on the off chance do u no if clifford sell the proximity sensors on there on??had abit of a misshap with the pliers so need to replace one.and if they dont will it stop the alarm from working?? But other than tht lil miss-hap its going gd

[rst-steve]

The pics are looking good mate, defo don't envy you putting it all back together tho!

http://s953.photobucket.com/albums/ae11/mitchrs4/rs1800/ theres the album with pics in if u fancy a look.link should work.bits of car all in ma dads house haha now taking up the spare room

Good man, was going to say if you couldn't get the pics on here (with the resize being an issue), right click save as the fb pics and upload them on photobucket......... thats a quick way to cheat and get them the right size to bung on here lol!

[jimmyesh]

Crikey, I didn't expect to see all that wiring again! Yeah it was a tight squeeze and admittedly, I could/should have routed it in a more efficient and tidy manner. This car was my first attempt at fitting a completely alien engine/box/loom/ecu into a Fiesta MK3 so obviously there will be shortcomings or areas that could be improved on.

Once I knew it worked, I was so excited about actually driving the thing that I just wanted it all back together ASAP so that I could get behind the wheel - now I'm a bit older & wiser I would have taken more time over the loom fitting. Saying that, it's still going after 5 years

Anyway, well done for tackling it and I can't wait to see how it looks with all the flocking done

[mitchrs4]

I can totally undrstand tht jimmy and like u say its still going so u obviously done a good job.its all part of the moving it on and forward and lets face it ya never going to c it.its certainly going to keep me buisy after work this week on the flocking side of things im getting in touch with kev today once i finish at work so hopefuly b sent away this week and recieve it back at some point nxt week.so give me 2weeks and it will all b back together.well thats the plan anyway.by the time its back together it should then b heading off to the painters so its all fitting in nicely so far.

Im happy with the progess at the mo so i carnt say much more than that

[jayrs]

it dont as bad as what i expected wiring wise mate, would love to get stuck into that finding a fault

as for the sensor, your get one off ebay

im guessing this proximity sensor is not the one you want?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLIFFORD-905311-D ... 45f88c50c7

your want one of these? (none listed on there own that i found)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Clifford-509U-Ult ... 43a48642f8

[mitchrs4]

cheers jay yes the second one is what im after fill your boots jay come round and have a crack im sure i can make a fault for u to find lol

[jayrs]

if it aint broke, dont break it mate

i did do a quick search for just one of the ultra sonic sensors but all the ones i found came as shown on ebay, cliffod direct may well sell you just a sensor, but i would of though you could of got them at most places though

[mitchrs4]

ok cheers bud think its sorted now.the overhaul has gone bigger now.the airbox is being pulled out and all un-needed parts of the loom will b tucked nicely away behind it.hopefuly making the re fitting of the dash a much nicer exsperiance

[jayrs]

blimey, full speed ahead then

[mitchrs4]

Yup move my cars around 2nite and get manj in the garage so i can get cracking.got to get some bubble wrap and then dash parts can ten b sent so looking good so far.

Also the company sticker is not going on the car he is going to put his company name in the flocking on te dash.only small so hopefuly it isnt going to look stupid.
