EU-Mania

Right, al start from the beging and go through it all but it may take some time.

This is wen a first got the car. Totaly bog standard. Actually the car was in top condition No rot (which is unusal for a ford)



Shortly after a got the job i was after working in a bodyshop, so i ditched college and me pub job and things started to look up for the fez.

First of was a smoothed colour coded rear. Originally i just wanted to smooth the front and colour code it. But one day i was throwing som scrap bumpers out and found a mk6 fiesta bumper dont know what made me think of it, but i cut the bottom off and grafted it on. Here's the trial fit.

.

My boss was kitting out his focus at the time, so i knabbed his old wheels tyred them up and fired them on. Granted they weren't brilliant but they were free and better than orig. aslo the grill got a make over.



My girlfriend was kind enough to buy me a set of mirrors which at first i quite liked.



Tbh i didnt want to go daft with car and that was how it stayed for quite a while till last year wen a caught some sort of bug. The doctor said i was hooked to modding and this wat happened next.

oops should have resized them, lol

Next up was removing the four wheel drive suspension and lashed some 40 mil springs on. Another ebay purchase later i was the proud owner of a boot pop, lol. Lashed that on and flushed the boot the next day which was my bday if a remember rightly. Found a ford orig spoiler while snooping about at work so that got lashed on. At this point at work due 2 some1 getting sacked i was moved from panel beater to painter, which worked a treat with wot i had planned. A set of dub plaes later and we were at stage 2.





The dub plates were kinda the start of the whole euro theme.

Going by your sig pic, it's come a LONG way

Considering the bodyshape, i think it needs some uber-wide wheels to finish it off, or even some banded steels.

Some thing with a dish would be cool but if you want attention to detail make the centres the brown colour of the lower skirts see who notices that eh lol

Al put the rest up wen a get a few mins. Yeah fancy some new wheels now fancy something with a dish or a set of wires. opinions?

Next up was the comps 7x15 all round in the polished and black. Made a fatal mistake here with tyres but got it sorted soon enough. Now running 165/50s

i don't like the mirrors man... but if you like them....


but i do love the wheels!!!

what are they?? compomotive???

Such an awesome car, cant wait to feature it!

We'll get there eventually my man.

Well it took me about two weeks working on a night in my pals garage 2 get to that stage. Parked it up for the weekend. 1, because it was my birthday and 2, it was a bank holiday so it was party time.

Bank holiday monday took the car too another friend of mine's garage to get really busy. Hung over too fcuk may i ad.

Tuesday took it down the road to work, No windows, lights, plates, was well funny seeing peoples faces.











Got busy with the rest of the stripping (the car that is) and prepping and started painting the shell Thurs afternoon.



















Fri morning finished the brown bits on the shell,













Friady afternoon painted the rest of the bits.

Unfortunately a forgot me camera on the saturday, so missed out on some build up pics, but basically painted a few more bits and started to build up. Shipped it round me pals on the afternoon and finished building it up o the sunday.





Finished about 10 on sunday night, drove round the local meeting point on a sunday and got pulled for me dub plates got a 30 quid fine, gutted, lol

Anyway got the tyre back on the front wheels on the monday and on friday i was off to donny which is where mallo took this pic i do believe, Hope you dont mind me using it its a mint photo.



More still to come will finish later. Opinions on what too next welcome.

Looking good pal, saw this at ISTS and at mod nats too. Nice and clean

i like it, its just the wheels, something about them jus doesnt really suit

could do with something quite special i tihnk

you know those old ford rims 4 spokes cant remember what they are from, but i think they would look top on your car

They had four spokers on the capri's. And think it requires a photoshopping

Yeah could some 1 photoshop me it with some schmidt modern lines on 1piece if possible, dont think wallet is going to stretch to the 3 piece 1s.

Pretty cool little motor this, is there much going on in the inside?

love it ..

i had a chat with you up in mod nats, i was the welsh boy in a huge mitsubishi jacket
