by **heeman10** on Thu Sep 15, 2005 5:34 pm

I'd imagine the centres need spraying rather than coating! So pleased they're not the blue that haunts me nightly :lol:

by **xrsi** on Thu Sep 15, 2005 5:37 pm

wasnt sure if they were sprayed and not coated from the highly shiny finish!

by **ianFRST** on Thu Sep 15, 2005 5:39 pm

ya fooking homo. if this car ever gets on the road, you;ll see the blue colour is ALOT better in real life. i have no idea why it looks a different colour in pics :-?

**update** december 2nd

sadly ive not touched the car for ages

spent soooo much time gettin rid of that clio it was unbelievable.

also spent the post 3 weeks clearing out the garage so that the car can get tucked away for the cold winter

so hopefully, it shall be nicely away this weekend.

i totally 100% recommend this car cover. £40 from argos, its the best ive ever had. breathable, and keeps the car totally dry. even keeps the car damp free inside

went to see mr ford today, 1st time in months :lol:

2 new front wheel bearings, 16 new wheel nuts, 16 new wheels studs, new bodykit rivets, and rear beam bolts. all that came to over £100 again :rolleyes:

the old rear beam will be going back on tomorrow, so that we can pull the car into the garage

then lift the car up, and lower it onto the engine

the one major thing, the engine is now ready to go in, may even go in this weekend :devil:

but thats only because i have no where else to put the foooker :lol:

by **andyhardy** on Fri Dec 02, 2005 6:46 pm

Looks good Ian - nice to get it all tucked away

by **Max M4X WW** on Fri Dec 02, 2005 7:29 pm

Nice, I was thinking about a cover. Wont be able to use it if it rains though :-?

Not sure about the bricks, Prob blow off onto dads car!

Everything looking sweet.

My nuts have all rusted, The bit thats supposed to spin. Not sure why

by **t2rst** on Fri Dec 02, 2005 8:21 pm

by **chris-fiesta** on Sat Dec 03, 2005 12:59 am

looking really nice m8, keep it up!!

loving the car cover too :lol:

by **ianFRST** on Sat Dec 03, 2005 9:17 am

the car cover rocks. seriously recommend that one if any1 needs one. the car stays perfectly dry 24 / 7.

its a breathable one, that actually works. even when it had an inch of snow on it, the car stayed dry

by **chris-fiesta** on Sat Dec 03, 2005 12:08 pm

yer was saying i wanned was aswel wen the car gets on the drive as i can be arsed with scrapping the car in the morning plus its only been sprayed a few weeks ago so will be good for the paint :wink:

by **beanyfrst** on Sat Dec 03, 2005 1:43 pm

Looks absolutly mint mate. Keep the pics coming and keep up the awsome work mate

by **ianFRST** on Sat Dec 03, 2005 4:13 pm

**update 3.12.05**

well what a knackering day

if any1 has ever removed a rear beam on there own, just think how hard it is to put one back on your own. took me absolutely ages

my back kills :lol:

had to put the old beam on so the rear could roll back into the garage

oooh, 1st time the wheels have seen the car in ages

crap pic i know, but the black wheels look really good on the car

dragged the fooooooker into the garage :devil:

and here she is all tucked up

lol

by **Zetecfiesta** on Sat Dec 03, 2005 4:26 pm

looks like its gonna be a proper minter when done mate, im impressed!

by Al on Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:54 pm

Found this pic again the other day, from when it was actually on the road

by **ianFRST** on Sun Dec 04, 2005 3:34 am

along time ago indeed :cry:

by **~Tony~** on Sun Dec 04, 2005 5:16 am

ian looking very good mate. hopefully planning to do something like this with mine next year.

just gotta get a few things sorted first. i'm starting the collection of parts atm. its just seemingly endless. ohwell worth it in the long run imo.

keep up the good work.

ps any tips for removing wax oyl s**t on bottom of car. its doing my head in

by **ianFRST** on Mon Dec 05, 2005 6:07 pm

i didnt remove it. it did my head in to. so i just cleaned all the crap off, and painted over the top of the stuff

my mate adviced me not to remove that, as it also serves as sound deadening, and when he did that on one of his previous cars, he regretted it badly :lol:
