davreeve Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Drove the fiesta today to visit inlaws ,first time on the road since engine and body mods(started in November),108 mile round trip and not one breakdown!.Things must be looking up And NO i have not got blue neons,its the camera flash.
Fiesta Steve Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Nice one m8 Whats it go like then ?
davreeve Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 Seems to go well enough with no overheating or nasty noises.A bit flat under 3000 rpm as expected but over that its much quicker than before although i could not give it a proper test as wife and child were in the car +i have recently aquired 6 points on my licence and dont want anymore.
Mr Sam Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 very nice, is the bonnet black? or has the light just not caught it
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Well done mate . P.S . Loving the neons
davreeve Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 Yeah,bonnet is satin black as it was ripley to start with then the wind blew it off just before christmas which did,nt help things and i ran out of yellow rattle cans but had some black .Not sure about it but it will stay like it for now. mk1 gaz wrote Well done mate . P.S . Loving the neons Nice one Gaz!If i fitted neons i believe i,d get lynched
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 If you had really fitted neons you'ld get barred from all the OSF pub meets and be stuck cruising with the saxos
davreeve Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 NOOOooooooo!!!! The thought of that is too much.I feel ill now.
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Saxo cruise night crowd puller = Show us your bass box and DVD player in the dash
surfingturnip Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 did you use rattle cans for the whole car? what sort of finnish did you get if u did?
davreeve Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 No ,i only used them for the front panel and a few small damaged areas as the wilco signal yellow ones were almost a perfect match.The rest of the car was done in 2K by me 3 years ago.Not show quality but tidy and cheaper than getting someone else to do it.For the touch ups i flatted the area with 1500 wet&dry used a thin coat of white primer then overlapped that with yellow and once properly dried used cutting compound and polish .
surfingturnip Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 cheers, home spraying may well be an option when I actually get something. Being a poor student and all
