Madness Mark, but great at the same time!

The only job/problem with my headlining is that I couldn't seem to get the courtesy light wiring out, so I' cut it and was planning on connecting it to my new loom with spade connectors inside the A-Pillar to to avoid cutting the new loom! :lol:

Simply amazing. The detail is insane.

How much would you estimate all the extra sound deadening you are adding to the car weighs?

Not that it will affect performance with the engine Ian is building :lol:

Thanks guys! Sound deadening is in the region of 30KG.

The sheet of Alcantara I ordered from Aldridge has arrived, so I set to trimming the front interior light bezel. I used some heavy duty fabric adhesive adhesive from Dunelm and some Loctite 401 to secure the edges. It was a bit of a fiddly job to ensure there weren't any creases around the corners, but I achieved an acceptable result in time.

It's now obvious why I left a flat face at the front of the light: I've mounted the A4's 3rd sun visor.
Image
Image

The light unit fits snugly.
Image

I'm really pleased with the result, it's definitely been one of the more satisfying jobs so far.

It's official, fitting the third sun visor to a Fiesta from the 90s is my favourite mod on this car! Nice tidy job dude, must've been a proper "stand back, admire, and grin smugly" moment :)

Wow, love the work on the headlining/sun visors/Audi interior light. All looks perfectly at home together :D It would have been all to easy to say the Audi interior light didn't fit and forgotten about it, but no, you overcame the problems and made it fit PERFECTLY! :D

superb work mark, this is going to be the best and most thought out fiesta ever, have you wired all the extra bits in to the car loom yet?

Thanks guys. The Mk5 loom splits in two (interior and engine bay). I finished all the interior wiring additions before the dash went in, I've just got the engine bay stuff to do next :)

Time to fit the rear view mirror. The Mondeo mirror base surround has a large footprint in order to hide the rain/light sensor, my Fiesta obviously pre-dates any of that technology so lacks the corresponding area of black ceramic coating: it just has a small rectangle to hide a small self adhesive pad. I've mimicked the Mondeo windscreen by making a template from sign writers vinyl, which has strong adhesive and should be UV resistant for the life of the screen. I also made a card template to help accurately locate the mirror mounting button.
Image

Vinyl applied and mirror button bonded on. The button is actually from an E46, but is the same as the Ford item which I didn't have.
Image

Mirror mounted.
Image

Next I turned to the wiring in preparation for fitting the carpet. It soon became obvious that the new power calbes would not fit in the standard cable management along the sills, so I re-routed them along the floor pan. I cut a channel in the new sound deadening so they sat flush.
Image

I re-taped the rest of the loom in fleece tape and fitted new cable clips everywhere.
Image

The Audison Sonus RCA cables run along the left hand sill and across the passenger foot well, and up the centre of the dashboard.
Image

I covered the new floor pan cable runs with Duct Tape.
Image
Image

Again Sound Absorber 15 pads were added to the rear of new trim, this time the C Pillar trims.
Image

C Pillar trims fitted.

Fine work, as always, Mark!

Have you got a photo from outside the windscreen looking in - Just kind of curious to see how the vinyl looks around that mirror area?

Cheers :D

Sure, I'll get some tomorrow. It looks perfect otherwise I would have tried something else, I had glass paint lined lined up as an alternative :D You just have to go over and over it a few times to make sure it's pressed on OK :)

Yeah, I wasn't knocking it at all (just so you know!), but I guess it just looks an obscure thing from that angle from inside!

I was actually going to ask the same thing as Smo!

It looks rather large and in your face from that view, but thinking how small it really is, you probably wouldn't notice it from inside or outside the car unless you was looking. Its just one of those 'normal' things you see in modern cars.

Re: MWSTEWART | 500+ BHP Project | Rear Seats! 25/04

Postby Excursion on Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:44 am

:lol: I must be on the right track :D

I have finished off the cable management under the rear seats which ensures the new fuel pump and battery wiring is kept clear of any trim. I used 12mm cable clamps secured by stainless set screws into Stainless Rivnuts.
Image

The parcel shelf support trims were fitted after Noise Isolator 15 pads were applied.
Image

I found these Dashboard mounting bolt covers on the Ford parts system. I've not come across these on a UK car before so I assume that like the air conditioned glove box they were another part that suffered at the hands of bean counters during the models' life. Image

I found a set of seat belts from a very low mileage car, these were fully extended and shampooed before being fitted. I also stuck the original Ford sound deadening back on the rear quarters, though the difference it makes is probably negligible! Image

New Ford Underlay Image Image

New Ford Carpet. I've gone for a dark charcoal colour as it's more in harmony with the Alcantara. I didn't want a matching grey as it would have been too much, and black was a bit severe against the grey. Image
Image

Rear Quarter Trims were fitted next, and again Noise Isolator 15 was applied to the rear. I also covered the edges in fleece tape to further prevent squeaks/rattles.
Image

The rear seats in! I'm extremely pleased with the colour scheme as it's exactly what I wanted to achieve. The only thing I'd change would be to add rear seat heating, but given the seat covers are removable and the battery is in the boot it will be easy enough to achieve later on.

Fair play mate that looks amazing. The colour scheme works very well I think. This is going to a very quiet ride even with 500 horses under the bonnet. You won't hear much of the under bonnet goings on unless the windows are open :D :D
This as got to be the best specced fiesta in the world when finished and it will certaiunly be a very much talked about car on the fiesta scene for many years to come and I challenge any man to try and better this example of the mk3 fiesta. Honestly every person I have said have a look at this too has been gobsmacked by your work mate. Can't wait for it to be finished and I think I will be standing in the queue to have a look at this in the flesh. Top work fella :Q :Q :Q :Q
