scottybo Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 i cant have anything smaller than the mondy 16s coz of my brakes. otherwise i woulda stuck with the 15s as they handle better on the smaller wheels. the only bit of advice ill give you is to change the front brakes. i like escorts but their brakes are fcuk poor. get the 278mm or 300mm set up on there!

lee grout Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) If your ever interested, and if they in good enough condition (still boxed in garage) i got some 278mm discs and calipers i never used. Need a refurb. No rush tho, If one day you fancy it I think we could sort sumit out. Edited June 2, 2013 by lee grout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

co-op scooby Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Has the wife noticed the chopping board is missing?lol.Just fitted the dash surround.Quite surprised at the finish.Was gonna do it that common Focus metallic blue.It then started to react in a couple of places,so i grabbed an almost empty diamond white and gave it a misting,then black, then red.Top this off with 4 or 5 coats of lacquer and imo it looks ok,get some pics on at weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee grout Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 lol, looks like the edge of a persian rug above your head up front! Your not an asian cab driver are you?......beaded seat cover next???? Jacking points look good, Job well done. Id also like to see BLACK for the carpet. Oh and how did you do your dash insert?? Maybe do the same to the bit around the gear stick to match.

Maybe do the same to the bit around the gear stick to match. Ive tried beaded seat covers before mate and they are soooooooooo feckin uncomfortable(it was around 1992!!!).As for the dash insert ,I started with metallic blue,then misted diamond white,then satin black and then a almost empty red over the top while still wet.Then I hit it with 4 or 5 coats of lacquer.Gear lever surround will be done when I can afford 4 cans of paint.lol Didnt know I could mate.Gotta remember I am getting on a bit! just post a reply to the thread u want to continue, and then fill in the reply box as you would when creating a new topic pretty sure peewee or stoo could probs merge the 2 threads for you if you wantPLEEZE YOU TWO CAN YOU SORT IT FOR ME ????????
