My new bumpers + OSF scrapyardfind =PICS=

[Daveyboy20]

wahey! I havent plyed with em much yet as its late and everyone was looking when i was testing them! It seemed like only one of them was blasting anyone know any common problems to make em do that as the ones on me capper did that i think. I cut all the plastic hoses the same length so the air hits them same time thats right innit?

Well, i took pics this morning but......... ive had an eventful day and i will update it in a second post after this (with pics )

 

Here she is all debumpered, airhorned and grilled up!!

 

 

What do you think people?

[Daveyboy20]

After taking the pics and going on a random 20 mile cruise in the sun with the windows down, i decided to go and check out the 'Bloos Boys' scrap yard. These guys are banger racers and their yard is full of OSF's but i'd never had a proper look in as it was always closed. Not today!

 

 

Here's my car outside their yard..

 

 

 

Look at what they've got inside!!!

 

 

 

 

As you can imagine i was there for some time!!

 

There was a one owner 50 odd thousand miles mk5 Cortina there with mint bumper on the front and a new old stock bumper on the back... guess what happened next??

[antz]

bangered?

 

b******s!

 

some good pics! did you save any of the cars

[Daveyboy20]

Yup unfortunately! He was a sound guy, he said he's done up and sold a few capris and escorts when they're not too bad but to be honest a lot of the capris where in better nick than mine!!

 

He said he has a mk2 escort with a 200sx engine in with over 200 bhp which sounds good. I got some good bits for Tina from there today

 

Here is what she looks like now, what do you reckon?

 

[antz]

i like it!

 

looks better with bumpers!

[Daveyboy20]

Yeah thats what i thought, i did like it without though and nearly kept it like that but its not as smooth as the capri under the bumper so doesnt quite work, also it made the dented rear valance obvious and i had no rear number plate lights.

 

If i had the money and time id do this!!!

 

[antz]

that looks nuts

 

looks good with the bumpers though

[Daveyboy20]

Cheers dude

[Arched Escy]

Is the Mk2 white on multi spoke rims?Cos there was a white 200SX powered Mk2 for sale over here last year.

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

for your air horns try putting a squirt of wd into the compressor and then giving it a good blast also are the air pipes a good tight fit

[Daveyboy20]

Cheers dave ill try the Wd thing i wanna have both blasting!

 

Arched escy im not sure what colour it is he just told me bout it, said it was handful and im not surprised bet its well good fun!

[Mark2Mark]

Yeah the mk2 is white but it's been round here for years, and it's fookin' mental

[Daveyboy20]

Hows the escort mark? you got the gearbox sorted?

 

I still havent got both horns blasting tried the wd. Doesnt seem to make much sense!

[Trevmk3]

[Daveyboy20]

Cheers lad! Tell me bout it there where loads, those photos are just a small selection as the bloke came back and i wasnt sure if he wanted me photographing his stock!
