lee grout Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yes yes I know here are some bloody pictures! http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx80/the-jonsonator/leescar004.jpg Tow strap Phil Also took out arch liners to clean up the inside. This is inside the liner behind the wing. Usually a lot of soggy crap gathers here and starts to rust. This hasnt been out in the elements so No rust at all. http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx80/the-jonsonator/leescar001.jpghttp://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx80/the-jonsonator/leescar002.jpgA collection above of the crap from the n/s. The pile from the o/s is 4 times the size . All dry dirt though so no worries. http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx80/the-jonsonator/leescar003.jpg My Need for speed neon lights were finally removed. Skirts were srewed into place along with some silicone along the top edge. Next time requires getting the fibreglass out and blending into the front/rear wings. Front bumper has now had hole cut for tow strap. Hockey sticks still need fitting. Splitter needs a way of securing along the top edge ( no room for srews or bolts) I dont think the masking tape look will catch on! Also my replacement alternator got delivered today so hope to fit over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee grout Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hmmm rat look......Im not convinced lol On a plus side I managed to fit my replacement alternator today. Not much of a clue with any sort of mechanical know how so was proud to of achieved this. Bit of a fiddely job but managed without too many swear words.

Pfft, about 10bhp I think, that was done on a dyno day, I dont have a picture of the print out though. You gonna be ready for Ford Fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
