[Spanish_1.1]

wow, it looks brand new tom! good work.

is it painted matt black or have the plastic been rehydrated?

[rs-tom]

I used a rehydrate spray/sealer then bumper paint on top then auto glym bumper care to finish

[Smo]

That bumper's come up great and the paint work on the shell looks beautiful

[rs-tom]

Thanks mate

[jayrs]

excellent mate
more pics, will spur me on to do mine

[rs-tom]

Hopefully gettin it back today . Iv got to to do the black round the windows myself . Any tips or hints welcom

[jayrs]

well as you know its painted on and the final bit is a trim tape, but ford done sell it no more, and a masked up edge line in black on red, isnt going to be smoothed out with compound very well, so your need to get some trim tape from somewhere mate, them mask up and paint then tape over the joint like std.

use a fine line tape to mask up, that thin blue stuff is good stuff, think its made by 3M

this stuff

[rs-tom]

yeah i was told about fine linw tape today . iv got some 6mm black pin stripe i just hope it goes round corners

anyway here some more pics


engine bay lets the car down now but im happy with the paint looks good i think






















comments pls

[jayrs]

very nice mate, its deffo working, im wanting to get on with mine a bit more now

[black2]

That looks quality!

Some good workmanship going into this.

This bumper rehydrate stuff, what is this and where can it be obtained? I would'nt mind doing the same to mine.

Gareth.

[Ratspeed]

That is looking great. I cant wait to see it built up!

[rs-tom]

keep getting bits of time to put shiny new bits

just fitted rear lights and numberplate

side repeaters
front indys n headlights and front bit of kit

oh n fogs

i think it looks beutifull

[MK2 Jamie]

Car is looking proper minty mint.

[jakerowles]

that bumper looks better than new did it take long ?

[rs-tom]

Bout 3 hours . Was a good condition bumper any way just needed a good session . Ya can't really rub em down because the lumpy texture will be lost n I don't think it would look as good . The red strip I washed t cutted n pollished same as reflectors

[rs-tom]

ok heres a quick update iv bin doing the black round the windows iv bin dreading doing this as the cars paint looks so good but i had to have it

i used 3m fine line tape ,upol satin black spray and then 6mm black pin stripe .

im chuffed with the outcome it looks stock .














need to do the otherside now lol

sorry bout s**t pics

[jayrs]

that come up the nuts mate

did you use that blue 3M fine line masking tape?

also what 6mm black pin stripe did you use?

[rs-tom]

The 3m fine line is pretty much the same colour as normal masking tape it just feels very plasticy almost like electrical tape . The pin stripe was off eBay il get u a link when I'm on the laptop . I brought some but it would not go round corners

[rs-tom]

this is the stuff i broght good stuff has a protective film on you can removed once fitted

nice one mate.
thats the same fine line stuff i got in the workshop, although not used it, but ive used the wider stuff before, although i didnt rate it massively, mine you, it didnt curve enough for what i was using it for so my fault really.

that pin stripe, you say that doesnt curve?

[rs-tom]

The one in the link does curve . That's what iv used but there's a more exspensive one on there that I brought first n it was tug

[Simon84uk]

Awesome project you got going here, massive fan of the mk2's although never bought one myself yet. Maybe one day!

Keep up the good work, nice to see another one back rust free! (Also like the scrappage scheme survivor sticker).


Si.

[jayrs]
