Hi all,

like the nurburgring sticker on the back. i think interesting is the best word to describe that.

you watch mighty car mods with the decorative front like that?

Still looks mental but I totally appreciate it.
A real set of wheels and you'd be flying.
I'll sell ya two for €30. :P

That sticker on the back is the exact thing I said to a guard recently:D
he asked had I been drinking and I said "I am not drunk, I was avoiding the potholes" I didn't know they had stickers saying it

@jordan5372 - hey, how did you get the arches etc back to that colour?

Jordan5372

i spray painted them with gloss black.

Here is some more pics of the process and the car. next plan, to get some alloys

Some artsy photos ( because I'm trying to hide the dirt ) of my first tractor, its a 2010 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI 115 WRC, picked it up a month ago and I can tell you its no ST!

mine were near white too, take a look at the pic below of what they were like. Gives you some idea of what can be done.

SJPK

might sound stupid but... what 'sort' of gloss black did you use? like can? name of company? and did you do any prep or just clean and spray on?

Jordan5372

this is the can i used

i sanded the area down with sandpaper, then i sprayed on primer.

Then the spray paint.

Ah I dunno about that, wouldn't it be vertical then? :P Plan to remove them when I get bored of them anyway!

It'd look way better without them. Never knew about that spec.

The HB Ice Cream wrappers and bits of newspapers stuck to your front bumper. What's that all about?

Neither have I! It looks like a Zetec S to me with the rear bumper the way it is.

Let me give it a go




At an empty yard at an Airfield, using my proper camera for a change too.
*EDIT: For MCMLXXV, its tarmac, ok so not a "field" but a small airport, Weston Airport in Leixlip

Big Nasty

Airfield? Grass or tarmac?

Banned for a day for quoting a photo.

Banned for a further 29 days as we don't really need your type around here.

Good old sex wax.

Crap shot of the new hack sitting on it's bum,

The hydropneumatic suspension is great gas, i'm sure the novelty will wear off quickly, but its hilarious seeing friends/family reactions when it just drops to the deck, or heads off up in the air :pac:

Marlow

VRT'd this recently.



Pretty much my daily at the moment.

Sweet!

Shes on 406 rims, 18ET as opposed to the Xantias 15ET requirement.... Once it's not rubbing the calliper though!

Runs on 185/60's too, they look like 195/65s....

Makes me want to get another one! :cool:

Haha.

Those vans haven't been made for 17 years now, so it's getting difficult to find parts. I've got a bumper sorted, but won't get it until I'm on the continent again in June.

The van has lived in a forrest for over 20 years. No bumpers needed there.

Love that van, ever since the day you barreled past us on the m8,

Must get a close look at it some day.

Marlow

Lots of new bits coming for it in June.

255/100/16 Michelin XLZ muds, new bumper, doors with electric windows and heated mirrors, a dash with rpm instrument, some new 8J wide tubeless rims, that will allow also to fit 286/75/16 A/T's and a lot more.

Hoping to fit my 6t winch in the next week or two.

My father had one years ago ... and the novelty never wore off

Then again, I am a child at heart and easily amused at times

Oh. And I've added this to the garage at the same time as the orange 4x4 LT.

Unfortunatly, it's destiny is to be an engine donor for my Volvo 340. But I'll take it for a trackday or two first

Love that air intake on the bonnet. Or is that a small shovel?

Nope. That's an air intake. And it's factory standard for this particular model.

Still has a fair bit of thread left surprisingly enough, and it's had that amount of camber for a while.

Results from a medium paint correction last week:





I also removed the grille to access the black rubber behind it. It was collecting a lot of crap so I cleaned it all up and used a trim restorer followed by 303 Aerospace Protectant to give it a hugely hydrophobic quality. Now it doesn't hold water or dirt and stays black:
