lightningescort1 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Alright mate . Firstly loving the car and progress on this . Secondly what did you use to fit your bump strips ? I have some cc ones to put on mine but dont know what to use to stick them on with . Was gonna use some bonding paste but dont think it would hold on once it gets wet stuff under it . And boy are we getting some rain at the moment . Love the track pics , keep up the good hard thrashing :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze4door Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 of the bump strips i got some double sided tape from my local motorfactors that is for sticking the bump strips back on the only problem is when it got really hot over the last week they started to peal of a little bit as the glue got too hot and i dont think it will be back on track till ford fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze4door Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 the story took a nasty turn a couple of weeks ago which ended up with the car looking like this http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w267/bronze4door/CIMG1958.jpg i decided not to claim off my insurance and will fix it upas i have estimated it will cost around £200 to put right the remainder of the headlights and the bumper were removed and then my father took a grinder to the front panel and this is the result http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w267/bronze4door/CIMG1968.jpghttp://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w267/bronze4door/CIMG1970.jpghttp://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w267/bronze4door/CIMG1972.jpg the chassis looks like its not been damaged but i will take some measurements off the other side to see if there is any damage http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w267/bronze4door/CIMG1973.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w267/bronze4door/CIMG1974.jpg and the pile of bits left over http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w267/bronze4door/CIMG1977.jpg i was donated a set of headlights and radiator from a member of my local club that broke an escort a while ago and i already have a set of fog lights knocking about the grill survived the impact in one peiece so can be re used so now all i have to do is get a bumper bonnet and front panel fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
