Looks like a productive day. Smos looking a bit shifty next to the fiesta

[knuckles]

Shocking picture !

trusting the ford jack for longer than 5 mins to hold up the car

[EUFez]

Meh, people worry to much.

[bakewell001]

Tbh we were surprised when it didn't just punch a hole straight through the sill!

:lol: comical, why was steve undoing the back wheel for?

Toby has 4 braided brake lines so we were going to change the rears too, but then Tony changed his mind

being 2 hours late to the bluewater meet was the reason

[Smo]

I was surprised the sheer weight of all the welds on that car didn't crush the poor jack.

[Smo]

And that is actually the first time I've ever used one of those jacks on a car of mine

Those jacks are bloody crap to be honest! Ive broken a couple before. The weak point of them is the little white bit which the tread winds though, those on the ones ive had have always snapped while lifting a car up when ive not had access to a trolley jack.

Stupid things! lol

[Minstral]

fitted the rear braided lines today and already the brakes feel much better, think we didnt fully bleed the brakes last sunday in the rush.
discs are slightly warped so ordered some new discs yesterdat, and they turned up today

didnt get time to fit them today as run out of light

also bought the updated version of the heater controles which came on the latest mk5's and probably puma. also got a sport ka gearknob which is the same as the puma ones. a lot smaller than i thought it would be but really nice to use.


difference between the 2 isnt much just a few little extra icons around the dials,
new one on top old underneath


and all fitted along with the gearknob


and before anyone says anything a new headunit is on the cards its what came with the car

[hb69]

Nice knob.Bet its cold in the mornings this time of year

[jonyb4]

haha i was gonna say i hate them stereos, im ashamed of halfords for selling them (not that they sell many as theyre s**t)

does the car actually respond to them new heater positions then? i figured you needed the wire and vent to be the same model as the facia if you follow

[Tweek]

I think it's the same setup just more symbols. If you position the older looking one half way between the 2, you'll get half way between the 2 etc.

[jonyb4]

yea your right, i remember i could do that in the mk4

[Minstral]

yup friend of mine couldnt work that out 'theres no symbol how do you know were it is?'

not used it in the mornings yet

[bakewell001]

I hope you didn't pay much for that knob. I have a puma one here doing nothing!

[Smo]

It's OK, Steve... I'll have it when I get my next one

[Minstral]

I hope you didn't pay much for that knob. I have a puma one here doing nothing!

i didnt pay much but you could have told me

[hb69]

New brake discs sir?





Wonder why these were warped? The finger tells all



Old vs New



Easy fix

[Minstral]

good day new discs and sorted that noise.

The discs are EBC which were a good price off the bay

[jonyb4]

lol saved me asking why

[hb69]

good day new discs and sorted that noise.

Yeah at least the noise was an easy fix too, if it was the longest bolt in history.

Hope my front wing is an easy fix too Come to mention it, that wing is dented and paints coming off too

[Minstral]

as there was good weather today i felt i had to do something on the car so decided to finish off the boot floor underside. didnt finish it before as it envolved thaking the back box down and getting the heatshild off.
glad i did leave it for another day as it tok forever to get the heatshild off as the things that were holding it on had rusted to the heatsheild, luckily i didnt need a new heatshild.

before were there is a square which i coudlnt do

after all painted up and polished back box

and all back together


all that left to do now is the bit between the bootfloor and fuel tank and the exhaust tunnel which will only get done if i ever take the exhasut off

have decided to try and sort some bits out on the car that need doing rather than ignore them and buy other things.
bought some zs centre caps which will be painted black when they arrive so i dont have a space in my wheels

[RSGeorge]

That sounds like a good plan mate

Looking good so far, would like one of these as a run around but too many cars at the minute and running out of places to put them lol

[bakewell001]

Massive update...



All may be revealed depending on the outcome!

[EUFez]

Where's that going then?

[hb69]

I think I know where this is going

[jonyb4]

It's not a zetec

[bakewell001]

Yeah it's a custom colour, but you may have seen it on the new 2011 ford sheboygan, also possibly some old lada may have come in this colour. The guy at halfords wasn't sure

[Minstral]

the sheboygan looks so good in this colour

pics will be sorted tomorrow

Is there a colour the sheboygan doesn't look good in?

[dontpannic]

The turquoise Sheboygan is the let down of the range.
