and my start on the engine bay... made the carbon myself... ..looks good..

[pauldolman]

looks good jon, well done

[CrAzY kAyLL]

looks spot on mate and loving the carbon thats a tidy touch to clean up your engine

[jayrs]

looks spot on mate.
nice and clean rs i see, will have to dring mine up for you to clean and get matey (forget his name again) to give the engine bay a going over
i'll sit there and talk to your missis and drink tea watching oh, and smoking fags

[FRSJON]

come on up jay... .. during the ten minutes of sunshine we had today i uncovered the car,gave it a polish and put it back to bed...

[luca]

Looks stunning mate good job there!

Mmmm im debating removing my side strips now

[FRSJON]

side strips?..

[luca]

Yeah your car doesnt have the side moulding's on, looks realy clean and smooth.

I never replaced the bumper inserts on mine when i had them painted/freshend up after the build, but was unsure how it would look without the side strips.

Carbon looks smooth mate... do i spy a potential carbon addiction

[FRSJON]

so did you add your stripes then??..rs1800's dont have any.. ... id love loads of carbon but my wallet is a lot thinner than yours. .. did have loads of weave so have been trying to make stuff myself but not having the correct resin (ive been using fibre glass resin) has been causing problems with getting it clear enough.(red hardner).. .. made some strut tops...looked really good bar the red tinge..

[jayrs]

you might regreat telling me to come up mate, as i might just do that.
you still have sweetner for my tea yes...

[luca]

I always liked them with strips on so managed to buy a full set bar the front wing item which is xr2i blue, from Ford last 2 years ago.

Yes the RS1800 should not have them, currently mine run black tape on them but might remove them now ive seen how good yours looks

[FRSJON]

think so jay..no ones used them since you last came up...

[luca]

See carbon carbon carbon, if you get the correct stuff your be making all sorts mate

[FRSJON]

Whats the plans with wheels then mate we all know your cant keep a set for more than a month

[FRSJON]

well i really want another set of 16's...but dont really have money for wheels at the mo.... ..but.. i did see a old pic of paul johnsons black fiesta the other day and it was wearing black 17 inch tsw evo r's...so they might be staying...

Yes mate they look good, and red/black theme works so well.
I have that mag which Pauls car is in was one of the cars that got me into the old tin.

Always remember Nat Day back in 04 with it on track blowing everty thing away

Keep the wheels mate.

[FRSJON]

will give them some fresh paint before central day...

[FRSJON]

well tomorrow the manj is officially off the road for a bit while it gets a under side restoration..the m.o.t runs out tomorrow so i need to get my arse into gear and get some work done...first off the exhaust will be coming off as its far too quite for my liking... .. strip as much as i can from the underside as it will be receiving a coat of red... ...then i shall be fitting my highly polished scorpion (single box) system and another rear anti roll bar....then i have to ship it off for a new pair of sill...so let the games begin... pics to follow...

[pauldolman]

i guess will be waiting another few months for those pics jon

[JamieFRST]

Looking good Jon, those wheels sit just right in the arches

[michmash/eddie]

i guess will be waiting another few months for those pics jon

well you are being generous there Paul, a few months? i think we will have to wait untill fitp, and maybe chip together and buy Jon one of those kiddies cameras

one with only one button or something

[pauldolman]

im suprised that he hasnt bought a rover yet

[pauldolman]

maybe we can club together and buy him one?

[michmash/eddie]

maybe we can club together and buy him one?

what, a camera or a rover, i think he would benefit from both,

how long till he collects his bus pass
