HOPE YOU LIKE

 

6 WEEKS FOR SHELL TO READY FOR PAINT

[X-pack-Glyn]

I like lots, but, in my opinion them wheels really dont work... RS 7.5s or 13 inch splits would look much better.

 

Looks like its propper sorted mechanicly as well....

[Mk2Jo]

Mr Ice - I think you've done a cracking job there mate When it is in colour those wheels will look fantastic Looks like your hard work (6 weeks, wow ) has all been worth it so far

[Fiesta Steve]

Looks awesome m8, wish I worked at that speed !!

[CHEVY]

That car looks meaner than a junkyard dog!

 

Dont paint it,it looks bad ass unpainted.

 

I don't normally like those sort of wheels i like steels but they look really good and fill the arches out a treat,and the car sits real nice.

 

Good work mate.

[james1700]

looks like some good work there mate, well done

[fostersice]

thanks guys

 

was unsure about the cibies but it looks like they passed

[Type49]

Looking good and like Jo says, wheels will look gr8 once the car is painted

[fostersice]

thanks guys means a lot as my 1st escort build.

 

goin the rs ultimate green

 

and any bits that should be back will go the same grey colour as the wheels to tie it all in

 

cibies will be green rears and grey surrounds

 

next this exhaust ? rear or side exit

[Mk2Jo]

Not so keen on side exhausts myself but each to their own

[5hane]

looks great,

 

love the camber on the front wheels haha !

 

also agree, not keen on side exit - but they can look good, depends what type your thinking of?

 

personly on a xpac - nothing beats two pipes sticking out the back

[BIGKEV]

Love it Love it Love it Love it Love it Love it Love it Love it Love it

 

 

Dont you dare change it - its your motor - looks the dogs dangles

[285Andy]

that'll look wicked when its painted! well done mate

 

out of interest, did you get the hubs re-drilled in the end or have new ones made?

[fostersice]

i got group 4 hubs new then had one hole welded up then redrilled to 5 x 114.3

 

had i 10mm spacer made but it was to small the had to have a 50mm spacer made giving me a 10mm clearance on the wheel

 

had the spacer made so it bolted to the hub and them the wheel bolted to the spacer

 

rear is a 20mm

 

so very very happy with it

 

had paint out to day

 

the plan

 

2009 focus ultimate green inside and out

 

cutting the front grill out and replacing with mesh

cutting out the number plate space and replacing with mesh

then painting

anything that was back on the o/e x-pack in a gunmetal grey to match the wheels

 

not having inner lights as the holes will be used as vents

4 x cibies will be green on the rear and gunmetal on the lamp suround

 

once painted

carbon boot spoiler

carbon rear bumper

carbon dash top

carbon parcel shelf and firewall

carbon door cards

 

and we had a little play and going for two 3" pipes out the back one ever side.

 

the car is going to paint on the 19th so once its back i will be posting pictures

[BaileyMex]

that'll look the dogs when finished

[fostersice]

im hoping lol

[fostersice]

cars going to be on show on the 6th september and ford dunton in essex

[fostersice]

should i paint the dash green the same as the rest of the car and go carbon dash top and carbon centre console

 

or paint the dash grey the same as the wheels?

 

im having a bar welded in place across the rollcage so it sit at the bottom of the dash and that will be green

[surfingturnip]

carbon top but grey dash. Too much carbon can be a bit distracting imo. Your car at the end of the day mate, follow your heart with it

[4parajon]

Gonna be a stunner, can't beat a big set of "puff daddy" rims on an OSF
