Top work mate, can't wait to see her looking her best

cheers jimmy but its not looking its best at the minute had a few issues when painting,basically me not leaving enough time between coats had a fair bit of sagging and a few runs im struggling to make it look something ready for central day the car will be there but once home again will come apart to be painted again the joys of doing it yourself . the only thing in my favour is it only cost me the £55 for the paint pics soon

keep your chin up mate!!

[FRSJON]

cheers rob really pi**ing me off to be honest,spent soo much time prepairing to paint just a case of inexsperience with a spray gun and compressor will be better next time

[jayrs]

your know what not to do next time.

i feel your pain with the prep, i painted my RS 3 times

Matt black if all else fails mate, if its good enough for the new Focus its good enough for the MANJ

the missus would love it matt black but not going to happen was dropping off some parts to another fiesta owner today at his lock up and found out theres a body shop next door,nothing fancy but good enough for my needs... so after central day and when he has time it WILL be painted properly

[FRSJON]

for a while ive wanted to tidy up the engine bay of my car so today i took off the strut brace as its going to danny and painted the header tank satin black as i was fed up of polishing them both.once id started stripping things i got a bit carried away in my old car i took out the fire wall from the rear of the engine bay. as this car has had major mods to the entire engine bay the fire wall was no different. once it was all stripped out i found something alarming that has stopped me using the car for a while the remote brake pots that are bolted to the fire wall were removed as i want to replace them,to my horror one of the bolts holding them on has gone straight though the main loom and all along the length of the bay the loom has started melting . all of this was hidden behind the fire wall so no one would notice it,im so suprised because it hasnt even blown a fuse ! so during my engine bay revamp the loom will be changed/repaired as well pics tomorrow hopefully
