tomsy Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Got an MOT coming up this week so thought it would be a good time to start cleaning up the underside of the car and see what damage winter had done. Started by getting the wheels off and front arch liners off, luckily didn't find anything to bad only some flaky bits of rust which i wire brushed off and treated with kurust. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31795.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31796.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31797.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31798.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31799.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31800.jpg Then gave the front arches a good coating of smooth hammerite and the rear arches had a good coating of black waxoyl. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31801.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31802.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31803.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31804.jpg Refitted wheel arch liners and cleaned with autoglym bumper and plastic gel. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31805.jpg Had a good look at rest of underside of car while on the axle stands all looks good so don't envisage any problems with the MOT just needs a good clean up and going over with waxoyl.

tomsy Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 The plan today was to get the rear windows tinted the final thing to do for ford fair this year, all went tits up they couldn't do it, due to not having the patterns for escort windows. They tried doing it without but weren't happy with it so didn't happen. On the plus side though i've got a new set of wheels and new rear lights for this years show. Took the scenic route home today which gave me a few good photo opportunities. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31811.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31812.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31813.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31814.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31815.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31816.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31817.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31818.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31819.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31820.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31821.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
