WTF IS THIS!!!!! it was completely fawked, i have of course emailed the seller and kicked off, he wants pictures which of course i took straight away. im gna demand my money back as this is not on!

 

in my determined mood i of course then went on to repair the broken bumper and fit it anyway, all the pics of the repair progress are on my mates phone andhe hasnt sent me the pics yet so theres a small gap in my escort story

 

here are the more positive points of the day though!

as i said i got my bits from marshy, what a nice chap, but dude that is the dirtiest air filter ive ever seen lol!

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/2012-09-05182423.jpg

 

thankfully i had another air filter in the garage which is much bigger (was on a friends crx for about a week) and pretty much brand new so i swapped over the heatshield to the new filter and tadah! much nicer!

get the spats on tomorrow after the paint has had all night to dry, need to make up a bracket to hold the k&n up so it doesn't go all floppy in the engine bay (any ideas for this)

. and its auto jumble on Saturday so il hopefully have some nice new toys for her!

 

what do ya think?!?!?

ive give this one half a spray job n took ur advise about black primer. il use this bumper but will keep my eye out for another one though. yeh i want to get it all done but im not 100% confident at throwing myself at things like brakes and suspension and the like. if i can get someone with a little more experience to help me then progress would be a shed load faster than it is
