My mercury grey project

Postby slimworx on Tue Dec 27, 2011 6:02 pm

Hi all, well I've been a member on here a long time now and since selling my last frst I alway wish I'd never sold up. Anyway I sold my last car in 2006 due to been pixxed off with fixing it every weekend lol
I then moved on to a mk1 focus rs witch I still have but have always wanted another so I bought another as a little side project
So got this 6 months ago and I wanted to put it back standard but having a massive oil leak I was left with no choice but to pull the engine out lol

Image

Image

Image

Then a week later

Image

It also it come with full black interior witch I wanted standard lol

Image

So out that came

Image

Image

After that I started the oil leak wich was coming from everywhere lol so I took the engine out as it's just easier and then I found some rust lol

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

And thats pretty much it other than the battery trays now been cut out
This will be a slow project due to work but will update as and when I can lol

Anyway here's a few pics of the other rs
