I won a brand new one on ebay a few years back for £1, yes £1! The guy I collected it from was a bit rough and I asked about the scantily clad girl in the ad (who was propping up the beam), it was his wife and no word of a lie he said if I give him a bit more she'll pose for me in person. Lol! BTW it was a sport Ka beam. Same thing.

I remember that guy, I asked and turned out she would provide other services in the back of the van if i met halfway to collect whatever it was he was selling for extra ££

I wonder if they are still trading on ebay!

£370 gets you this - i.e. not a lot, mainly fixtures and fittings!


Arch spats back on:


Genuine Ford Stainless scuff plates and the correct Mk5 strikers:


New deadlocks and full spec door looms fitted, new door lock & handle rods, new check straps, and new bungs for the a pillars :


New screws for sunroof brackets, and new foam gaskets behind:


The orange indicators really didn't suit Aubergine, smoked looks much better

[Sphinx]

I just can't get over the paintwork! It's absolutely brilliant

[leighk2010]

looking great mark, will be better than when ford built it when your done, Really liking the colour as well defo growing on me

[jonyb4]

omg, you won the hellas off ebay? think it was shaun selling them, started at £200 and a buy it now of £400?

No these are Ford stamped - proper UK market, I got them a couple of years ago for £50. I have more. Seriously though, I don't know what the fuss is with these. They've been available since the Mk3 was new. 1900cvh pushed up the price to artificial levels IMO, and I think you've got to be out of your mind to pay more than £100 for these. I'm going to cut up a spare set to fit Mercedes LED's behind

[knuckles]

very suprised to see a mk4 rear wiper arm

thought you would of kept it that bit more original looking

sorry i didnt mean hellas, think the ebay set sold for over £300

i dont get it either, id be happy with the euro ones

you could make some good money if you sold them, whats the merc leds like?


i figured you'd keep the mk3 arm too, i know mine will be staying

[RS rob]

great progress again,
savage spending that much at fords is'nt it!!

[Excursion]

Thanks boys - I aim to get a hydraulic pedal clutch conversion finished today. I'm not far off interior refit now

Clark I find the mk3 arm a bit spindly, I'm not a big fan of it TBH. The Mk4 arm seems to be a love it or hate it mod these days.

Rob - yeah, it's been a regular thing for the past 6 months or so. The trouble is, half the time you don't end up seeing what you've bought, but it's nice to have everything fastened well and feeling as tight as it did when new.

Did you say you had more sets of these lights? If so, let me buy some

Looks fantastic though, progress is coming along nicely!

I wouldn't sell, I have the Quattro project and I'm on the look out for a cconcourse FRST to store.

Thats a shame! lol.

How is the quattro project coming along? Haven't seen an update on that for a long time now! I guess this takes up most of the time too, which doesn't help much.

It's not Starting this project was a big mistake.

oh dear. Well it might have been a big mistake, but the final outcome will be worth it! Its going to be one hell of a fantastic car

Would be nice to see the quattro project finished though, one day , of course its not straight forward and easy, but that will be an awesome car when its done!

[heeman10]

Looking good! Are you still having my front bumper btw dude? Text you about it a while back, but you may have changed your number since our last exchange of messages. That was an emotional day, so I would understand if you had re-assigned yourself a new number...message me x

What turbo have you decided to go with now mate? Its a shame Ian doesn't do more work with the duratecs

[Excursion]

What turbo have you decided to go with now mate? Its a shame Ian doesn't do more work with the duratecs

I had a few options - the GT28 turbine with a 0.64 for strong spool but a cap of 380HP. The 0.84 housing is about 400rpm laggier but does over 400. Then the Gt30 56mm wheel with a 0.64 is between the GT28 options but will still make 400HP, only a bit further up. I've gone with the GT30 for now but I do want one of these: http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mv ... y_Code=GTX

I have until next week to decide as that is when some more parts will be ordered. I'm considering saying sod it and going for 500+

I don't think Ian likes the Duratec as they don't stand up to high power. They are fine for ~350 though.

[Max M4X WW]

500bhp? I thought I would never see the day from you Mark!

Isn't this the sort of thing that was going to go in the (now) Quattro project? But you saw sense?

[Excursion]

LOL you can probably find a post on here of me saying anything over 350bhp is pointless. Yes I'm being completely hypocritical.

I just want to put my foot down without changing down and and be at 170+ without the need for a massive stretch of tarmac.

[jonyb4]

LOL mark, your really need to make and stick to a plan!

i see a new zetec power cap and record VERY soon

telling you ian you and harvey in fast ford standing around it

Just ordered a set of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 in Gloss Anthracite, 7x16 ET38 and with 195/45/16 F1 GSD3.

[Max M4X WW]

Cool, I have black centre caps for mine - the ones like in the photo had discoloured and some have black so I ordered those.

Did you think about 40 profile tyres? Ride comfort I guess. I changed from 45's to 40's on my Mk4 for looks and the wheels were also catching with it being quite low.

45's looked like this: http://www.m4xww.co.uk/www/main.php?g2_itemId=95

Yes comfort was a consideration, and also the F1's weren't available in 40 profile, but if they rub, I'll take them straight off and order some different tyres. I have a feeling they won't last long anyway

[Dave G fsi]

I want your rear lights

Send me a pm if your every going to sell any

[Max M4X WW]

At the time 40 profile's were quite limited and I got T1R's.

They look like Superleggera on your Mk4?
