    Re: My new toy!

    Right its updat time as im waiting for some filler to go off and my hands are red from the cold!!!


    Some rust i found the week before the mot




    pics from the mot that were in another post







    Some pics of my pistons being attacked by my lovely cam this is still in bits but gonna get onto it next week and sort it all out

















    The offending cam (the shiny one ) measured it as about 2.3mm more lift than the gt spec cam its next to and lots more duration as you can see now i just need to get it measured by a cam specialist and find out what it is






    And then today i have been sorting the dents in the roof which i didnt notice when i sent the car off to the fillerman so i decided id sort the dents in the boot mark gave me (cheers mate ) and also some cack bits on the sill and a rust bubble on the door corner.

    I'll be there, don't you worry (not sure what in though )
    And how the Hell are you going to beat me if you start again before you have even finished?

    Oh crap But its ok i think my bitch (mate) is back from uni on the 27th so il use him to help

    Any dont give me this seems like primers allowed its paint and its easy Plus it makes the car look 'ard, we can have our own corner.........if you finish yours in time

    Plus mines prob gonna be primer for ages if i got to put new wings on and rebuild my a panels maybe paint it at the end of summer. And i think this winter im gonna stick it on a spit and sort the underneath....but for now i got to sort the engine and maybe a stainless exhaust.....not sure i can hack exhaust vs gearbox mount vibrations all the way to essex

    Oh and i still need a sensible insurance quote




    And as for you mark, are you incapable thanks to "mr shakey hand man" syndrome??? And i will be nailing your car this summer when theres some heat to the light and i dont have any college work

    Just read this from start to finish

    Top work fella

    Looks good

    Just a Heads up...... dont leave it in primer too long....primer absorbs water as does filler wouldnt want you to have to do it all again

    Cheers

    Laquer..wont that be a bit of a pig to rub down when i come to paint it?

    Was thinking of just quickly blasting it over with some spare silver so its got a bit more than a guide coat but not a full coat?

    You just want me to keep it in primer

    Re: My new toy!

    Here we go some pics in the sunshine today painted in all the black/ orange bits from where i did some filler work! Looks like a new car again Ps primer is the best colour, if you get some flys stuck to the paint or dirty stains, no need for washing up liquid...just get some p600 out and flat them out

    Re: My new toy!

    Update time

    As some of you might have seen i managed to get a genuine ford rubber front spoiler for the beast for £28 delivered it was cracked in two places one big one tiny, anyway a few hours later its all fibreglassed up strong and fillered it and all the extra holes someone had drilled. Managed to get a good few layers of primer on it today and put it on makes it look sooooo much harder

    Also bought a stick on aerial from halfrauds for £15, thought its a bit expensive but after sticking it to the underside of the dash (where an rs clock pod would be) and plugging it in i think its worthwhile i was getting slightly pissed off with the same cd playing over and over so now i can cruise up to the pod nicely (with my vibration )

    Anyway pics do the talking:

    Before


    After

    When you said you were putting that spoiler on, to be honest I thought to myself "why?".
    I've got to say it looks good mate.

    Re: My new toy!

    Cheers Dave to be honest i liked the clean lines of it without it....but the passengers front corners a bit wavy and the seams are a bit minging but yea it does make it look less pointy and this ones much better looking than the one i got with the car

    Kev, ratters cheers guys wasnt too sure it would look good when i had it offered up when it was red but now its been converted to the darkside (primer ) it looks very

    Rob...the brackets.......erm havnt bothered yet Il do it when i paint it?!?! To be honest its pretty damn solid with just them two side bolts, might not bother with the bracket

    Matt im sure i told you about 20 times now!!! and the same goes for the colour.......actually i have changed my mind!! Im painting it in primer...wahey its finished

    And gaz your just jealous you know you want me to chop your bonnet up with my hole cutter

    And ian ford pimped it with the overriders from the factory

    [quote] Rob...the brackets.......erm havnt bothered yet Il do it when i paint it?!?! To be honest its pretty damn solid with just them two side bolts, might not bother with the bracket [quote]

    I did say that you probably wont need the brackets,they are a nice tight fit with the bolts and screws in place
