Ratspeed Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Cheers for the replies peeps!Finally got my bonnet painted and fitted and to say i'm not exactly a bodyshop guy i'm well happy with it. Plus the paint job was cheap too! But please ignore the off colour wing and gaps, i'd only just fitted it:blush: http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Photo0839.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Photo0843.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Photo0842.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Photo0841.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Photo0840.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Photo0847.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Photo0846.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Photo0849.jpg and one of the painted back spatshttp://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Photo0833.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Decent effort with those spats, it's a shame you couldn't keep the shape of the original style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratspeed Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Yeah mate, just got some Fiesta 3.5 subframes from scrappy for a tenner, knocked the studs out of them and they all bolted straight in. Just remember when you get the subframed get the plastic trim that fits on the outside, the escort ones dont fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratspeed Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Alright guys, i havn't been here much for a bit, so i though id pop over and show you how the bus has been for the past few months. A while back it decided to blow the headgasket along with the rad and the waterpump So i had a top end rebuild on it: http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/P300311_1922.jpghttp://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/P300311_1923.jpgand back together, but filthy! http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/P310311_1854.jpg Then i tinted the indicator red, and the revese light smoked, the re wired the indicators into the reverse lens with an amber bulb to keep things legal. http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/P190311_1444.jpg And i decided to change the wheel clolour because thre seems to be alot of white car/green wheel combo at the minute. http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/Fordmeet%20at%20Squires%20Cafe%202011/P220411_1550.jpg And with the brakes and rimtape http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/P270411_1959.jpghttp://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/P280411_1937_02.jpghttp://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/P280411_1937.jpghttp://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s214/ratspeed_2007/P270411_1958.jpg what do you think?
