Rockerrob666 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) heya guys, not much been happening over the bad weather, just been tinkering and getting a few parts together. managed to get my hands on a genuine escort stone deflector for the bank breaking sum of £2.99 - now thats a bargain - just can't get the bloody thing on! I think it's a 2 man job, so will have to collar one of the kids in helping me get it on: http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o720/rockerrob666/Project%20Satan/IMG00440-20130218-1518_zps6a7c7942.jpg Unfortunately all the fcuking salt on the roads and the bad weather has had an effect on all the painting I did before xmas http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o720/rockerrob666/Project%20Satan/IMG00439-20130218-1517_zpsb5f58392.jpg So i've decided to bite the bullet, been doing loads of auctions on ebay and getting rid of some crap and going to take some parts round to the painters to get done properly! sending in the side skirts, rear spats, new wing mirrors, front grill and rear boot lift trim! had one quote for £300 but then my fave garage is going to do it cash in hand, still waiting on a price from them, should hear back today sometime Washing the car - can anyone spot the almost catastrophic mistake! had to take a photo of this almost balls-up for you lot to chuckle over! http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o720/rockerrob666/Project%20Satan/IMG00438-20130218-1434_zps9bc04508.jpg As soon as I've got all the parts painted there will be some serious movement on this can't wait!

Rockerrob666 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Looky Looky, look what I got! http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o720/rockerrob666/Project%20Satan/IMG00441-20130218-1814_zpseaeb0667.jpg clips for the dash fascia!! rare as rocking horse poo!! picking up some more clips for the splash guard tomorrow or wednesday, ccoming together quite nicely. nice update Cheers dude. looking good cheers dude After side skirts and wing mirrors, also fitting RS2K brakes which came back from the cleaners the other day: http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o720/rockerrob666/Project%20Satan/IMG00350-20130114-1543_zps59a9ff9e.jpg Painting them black and then as soon as the weather warms up a bit, will get them on the car. don't feel like getting covered in brake fluid with it being -3 out there Shall get there soon. Update on the brakes - had a good look at the brake pads that came with the brakes and they're all different thicknesses!!! so I shan't be using them then! going to have to shelve them until I can afford the Black Diamond Discs and Pads (suprisingly enough, they're only about £30 more than getting a set from the local factors, so I didn't see the point in getting one set knw and another set when I've saved up the same money again!!) Hopefully they should be on by the summer, or at the very least the first week of the summer holidays when I don't have to do the school run. But the brakes are cleaned, painted, new pistons and seals and all ready to be put on except discs and pads.

Rockerrob666 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Haha - 3 kids and xmas - broke as the china in the shop after a bull's just visited!! I hate to say it, and your prob going to kill me, but I am half thinking of letting the wheels go I'm half tempted with a set of focus alloys painted anthracite / black. I know you really like the wheels dude, but they didn't scream WOW at me they're say in my garage atm and I'm not really getting the incentive to sort them sorry dude. Plus I've got a mate sniffing round them and I could do with the money atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockerrob666 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 right - just been doing loads of parts hunting recently - found another boot carpet and turret carpet, both for a tenner, as I have a small rust spot at the rear wiper, which has been letting in water and made my carpets go a bit manky! when the weathers better, gonna sort the rust out (pics will be posted) and then I'll be able to put in fresh clean carpets . Due to poor laquer (simonez) the front grill I did went a bit cracked - see pics above. Got myself a new grill and some new mesh, gonna take the black plastic out of the holes to open the up a bit and redo using 2K paint and laquer. when the weathers warmer this time! been taking some advice of a good friend who's a painter. He know I get a good finish but just giving me some advise with workin with 2k paints. From the good people at DMB Graphics I also have found the holey grail: http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o720/rockerrob666/Project%20Satan/IMG00449-20130227-1253_zps3fade3a6.jpg Black with red ford logo All those that have sat down to scrape the blue out of the back of the badge, no longer, easy apply 3M backed decals bubble stickers which fit directly onto the badge. (these guys do have parts listedon ebay but if you go to their website, they have loads directly for the Mk6 Escort. As soon as the 2k primer and laquer turns up, I'll be cracking on with everything.
