heavyrightfoot Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I was not sure on the gear knob when you mentioned it, but actually it looks quite nice mate! Nice progress and welcome to the club. Thank you Got some new spark plugs on there way should be with me by next week hopefully along with the front grill. At the moment the front bumper is held on by 4 screws and 2 tiewraps hopefully that should be enough to get it through the MOT. The car will be going in for it's MOT as soon as i go in for my practical. When the car was smashed into quite a lot of body work was damaged. I have been trying to dig up pictures of the damage from my friend as he took the pictures, when i find they shall be posted here. ??? Quick Question To Escorters ???Does anybody know what the actual colour of my car is or it's colour code to buy from halfords? Its amparo blue mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have another grill on the way anyway Do halfords go by the name of amparo blue then? honestly your better off not buying halfords paint. i get it off a company online in bigger cans, better nozels, cheaper and better colour match and when i finally get my desktop computer back off my dad (upgraded it now he's using it as his has a virus that prevents logging on) i can get the link as i need to order can or 2 for my mondeo when i do the arches and door handles. codes on slam panel, iirc its on bottom left and is a letter and number which refers to year and colour. it hink mine was something like D7 meaning aubergine 1997. grills going in post monday as brother forgot it this morning and i hadnt wrapped till yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikey Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Sooooo, It is time for an update. With the new bonnet and bumper fixed i asked my step dad to sort out the rust so the car would get through it's MOT as it would have failed due to something about being sharp to pedestrians or some crap. With that all in place i got some spray paint this morning to spray over the filler, also to do the wing. Here are some images: Interiorhttp://strikeys-pic.com/images.php/i61_1020485.JPG The rust filled and painted not the best job but it will see me through for now and will pass through the MOThttp://strikeys-pic.com/images.php/i57_1020481.JPG The front wing which was black and i got half way before i ran out of spray paint :@http://strikeys-pic.com/images.php/i56_1020480.JPG The bonnet and front bumper is in place just need a eye cover if anyone has one let me know how much you would like for it inc deliveryhttp://strikeys-pic.com/images.php/i58_1020482.JPG And here are a couple of shoots i randomly took of the carhttp://strikeys-pic.com/images.php/i59_1020483.JPGhttp://strikeys-pic.com/images.php/i60_1020484.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
