Humongous update to follow...



This time we used primer!

[Smo]

Were you lot all up to stuff today then?

[jonyb4]

Is every update going to have a car mag in it lol?

[bakewell001]

If it pleases you jonyb, quite possibly!

First we sprayed... (notice concourse wheel in the background)



Then we waited, whilst reading literature

[Excursion]

I love your updates, I think you should take some pictures of you all out and about. A sort of winter/spring lifestyle catalogue.

[Smo]

Toby and his shoe collection could actually pose for a foorwear catalogue.

[EUFez]

I see you use Halfords Ford speciality oil.

new oil and filter,
new fuel filter
and plugs
the air filter i got with the air box at the scrappy was almost new so didnt swap that

draining the oil

new oil filter and sump plug genuine FoMoCo

old old with what we think is the wrong size filter

old plugs

and what they were replaced with

new fuel filter, old one had no doubt never been replaced was all rusty and corroded

then on to painting the rear bump strip, front is done but we didnt get any pics for some reason
henry and steve prepping

and primering

and trying to aviod the fumes


finished primering yesterday and have started with the colour today so more updates to follow

[hb69]

Genuine sump plug = +1 bhp at least

[jonyb4]

i see that star hoody had reached that age in life where its demoted to "works cloths" many of my jeans are at that stage

let me guess the strips are going that beige you like?


need more VW reading!

[bakewell001]

It was a pretty productive day for a change! I've got a few pics of the updated front trim. I'll email them to you later.

You forgot to update about overtaking a 206 gti that evening though, and pizza hut/film/Henry falling asleep.

Reading with your eyes closed Tody......interesting.

[knuckles]

old old with what we think is the wrong size filter

The zetec engine can use either EFL600 or the EFL10

1119421 = EFL600 big oil filter
1455760 = EFL10 smaller filter

cheers clark useful to know

[dontpannic]

Looks good dude. Fancy a late afternoon Bluewater meet? I've a KM meet in Maidstone at 6pm on Sunday, you could always come along to that if you're done in time

[Minstral]

ashford?

[Tweek]

:lol:

i see that star hoody had reached that age in life where its demoted to "works cloths"

That is actually Toby's skin. Whenever he removes a jumper or t-shirt, you just see star-hoody

[jonyb4]

can he change its colour? like a chameleon?

[Minstral]

has turned into my work clothes so i dont get decent stuff dirty

[Minstral]

right bumpstrips have been both finished and on now for a week. i took one off at a time so i could take me time with each one.
i have also fitted the original dealer plates that luckily were still with the car when i got it, as i didnt like the crappy plates with the ford logo at the side. look miles better and cleaner
new/old plates

on the car with the new paint work


also to finish the rear off with the new paint and plates i bought some led bulbs for the number plate lights, hard to get a pic of just how bright they are compared to standard sidelights bulbs


personally love the colour and it goes well with the black the rear centre caps arent on in the pics i no i need to respray all centre caps. the colour is a bit marmite and gets a lot of head turning and funny looks

[dontpannic]

Sorry dude, personally I'm not sure it works very well

Perhaps if you did more bits in that colour it might work a bit better? As long as you like it though thats the main thing

[jonyb4]

no offence mate, but i honestly cant see what you were thinking with the beige, doesn't suit

but yea if its up your street, im happy with it

[hb69]

I usually prefer all black cars, looks ok tho. Different.

Might do my rollcage beige lol

[Minstral]

its out there to cause a reaction, to be different. most people always plays it safe go for a colour they have already seen or already knows that it wil work. example being most mk5 zs with other colours are green and theres a lot of them.
i no people arent going to like it and as stated i love it

cream ftw

[bakewell001]

Love it

I might stock up on some for my track wheels

[Tweek]

Needs more beige bits. Brake callipers would be a good move to start with. Beige badge with black writing? Mirrors? Door handles?

[trecoll]

Roof? Spoiler?

It works well and has potential, but definately needs more!!

mirrors would probably finish it off no more

[fiend]

Looks sweet. Definitely needs the wing mirrors doing to finish it off.

i hope to do the mirrors at some point
and i love that some people hate it and some love it

[EUFez]

I wasn't really sure about the idea of the cream at first. But I guess if your trying to make a difference and shizz, then to finish it off all I can say is do the roof and get some nice shiney, wide alloys and spray the centres cream, finito!

[rs-tom]

looks like its bin beige primered n u ran out of money so couldnt get it finished in black
