haha you lucky son of a Bic™ dave, how do you afford all these cars while in uni!

sad the other one will be sold on but this new one seems a perfect replacement, good find mate

student loan ftw eh?

by **Dave G fsi** on Mon Apr 12, 2010 11:10 pm

Good old student loan!

I will make sure the other one goes to a good home. Will be sad to see it go but this was just too good an oppertunity to miss!

Will have money again when it is sold too! :rolleyes:

by **jonyb4** on Mon Apr 12, 2010 11:19 pm

by **Dave G fsi** on Mon Apr 12, 2010 11:22 pm

Yea, thats the way I look at it and thats why I sold the zetec s in the first place as that was just depreciating all the time :rolleyes:

Looks very nice Dave, you jammy git :lol:

by **Dave G fsi** on Wed Apr 28, 2010 7:29 pm

Thanks alot mate :aviator:

Been buying a few bits and pieces for her over the past couple of weeks, nothing major, just a few things I wanted to make her exactly how i want for the show season this summer.

Expecting a couple of things in the post over the next couple of days then will put some pics up to show what I have got

Really looking forward to driving her this summer as after all this money and work on rst's over the past year or so I've never actually driven one more than a few hundred yards! :rolleyes:

Roll on ford fair!

andymcd :will you sale the other with outh engine an box mate? whats happening to the new wheels you got?

Hi mate!

The other rs is being sold as a finished car next year when she is back together

The comp's I have will be going on my new rs

by **Dave G fsi** on Sun May 02, 2010 11:41 pm

Well, its update time!

I have a long list of plans/things I want to do to my new RS before ford fair and as I was at home yesterday, I started by doing a couple of things to get the ball rolling. Not much really, just cosmetic but every little helps!

Firstly I changed to orange indicators at the front as I hate the look of the clears on rst's. Will be doing the side repeaters too but not got round to that yet.

I then put in my standard parcel shelf rather than the "stealth shelf" that came with the car which I dont like the look of and wouldnt use anyway.

I then got rid of the gash gearknob and gaitor the car came with and put on my standard gearknob and gaitor I have.

Finally, I put in my standard ford radio (the car didnt come with any radio) which I won on ebay the other day and am delighted about!

Anyway, here are the pics of how she is now:

Comments welcome! :aviator:

by **Dave G fsi** on Wed May 05, 2010 7:33 pm

Thanks for the comments guys, means alot! :aviator:

Sphinx :I'm jealous of your garage!!

Lol, I feel so lucky. I never stop thanking my parents for buying a house with such an awesome garage attached!

They keep saying to me that I have stolen it off them but I just pretend I didn't hear them! :lol:

by **FRSJON** on Wed May 05, 2010 8:41 pm

by **MK3-MATT** on Wed May 05, 2010 8:50 pm

FRSJON :looking good dave just get those wheels swapped over

Ditto

by **Dave G fsi** on Wed May 05, 2010 10:50 pm

Can't wait to get the comps on, will really finish her off!

by **jonyb4** on Thu May 06, 2010 1:05 am

oh yes i agree

by **Dave G fsi** on Fri May 07, 2010 10:23 pm

Need to buy some 5mm spacers first and also want to paint the drums black and calipers gold as they are all silver atm.

Really looking forward to finally seeing her with the comps on when its all done tho! :aviator:

Got a huge list of things I want to do before ford fair too!

by **jimmyesh** on Fri May 14, 2010 10:14 pm

Looks lovely, Radiant Red FRST's always look nice - orange indicators look great too, as does the original grey interior.

by **RS Joe** on Mon May 17, 2010 10:41 pm

FRSJON :looking good dave just get those wheels swapped over

or at least get yer centre caps on those std's for now

Looks nice tho, Did I see right, you managed to get yourself a proper rst gearknob? :aviator:

by **Dave G fsi** on Mon May 17, 2010 11:01 pm

Its not worth getting the centre caps on as the car will just be sat under the car cover until I swap the wheels over anyway. Will keep them safe and unscratched for the future

And yes I finally managed to get a standard frst gearknob, am soooo happy. Only took me a year! :rolleyes:

fitted rear anti roll bar
painted rear drums black rather than silver
got electric boot release and back wiper working
got washer jets working
fitted rs tax disc holder
torqued up suspension bolts
got bonnet catch working
fitted standard headlight and sidelight bulbs
adjusted the handbrake
fitted spring clips on calipers
fitted chrome bonnet stay
fitted new header tank
fitted wind deflectors

Thats all I can remember, there is probs more tho :lol:

Anyway, here are some pics of the progress:
