Well it has been a very long cold and horrible winter and a few changes have had to happen to DTR

First of all with the weather been as wet as it has been i started to notice the drivers side rear footwell was getting a it damp so best and only way to find out was to rip the carpet up and out!.....



but..... it didnt find much luck im affraid these were my findings...

Well with all the prep work done it was rust killed and sprayed over untill i can get the rust chopped out and new plate welded in

Whilst on the stripping out side of things i decided to finally get rid of the nasty horrible dynomat

this was boot before......

Also i have taken the spare wheel out too due to it having no use at all if i ever (touches wood) get a flat tyre on the front due to the Escort Cosworth Front brakes.. but.... i have picked up a spare Escort RS Turbo wheel that i will be mounting in the boot shortly....

Here are some random pictures on the dirty engine bay as it stands at the minute...

And fianlly the major change for the winter periord is that of the wheels........

i decided i didnt want to use the 3dr wheels over the winter to try and presurve them for the summer!

so i decided to go for.............

Graphite Grey Escort RS Turbo wheels...............

So whats people's views on the wheels then as they are growing on me!!!

Over the next few months i am going to be looking to.....

1. Put my guages in.
2. Relocate the battery to the boot.
3. Refurb my Coilovers and fit them.
4. Give the car a good detailing session.

Thanks for looking please feel free to comment as always

Well With FITP just gone i thought i would better update this thread with all the work that has gone in with DTR in the winter months ready for show season....

Well for starters the weather hasnt been good to DTR at all and it was starting to go a bit rusty underneath so with the carpet all out we decided to attack alot of the waek spot with the nail gun just do see what needs wotk and what doesnt.....

After having the Drivers side done now it was time to turn the attention to passenger side... this was starting to go on the floor by the seat belt mounting point. So got the Air tools out and got car into place to start work....

First thing to do was to get it up in the air...... This is where Killer comes into play... Picture says it all...









Once up into the air it was time to asses the real damage and cut out all the bad rust to the good old metal...



Ouch.......... this was about 3pm Saturday afternoon i think it would be cutting it a bit fine for FITP......... :aaah:

Well with a nice big hole in the floor i left my dad making up the bits to replace it and i thought i would give the wheels a clean and exhaust too....



Random pic of my 4 branch...



Cant beat a good bit of metal polish....




With the bits all made up it was time to tack the new plates in....



and then finally to weld the other plate to the floor from the top....

With all this in place it was time to tidy up the welds and make the car look smarter too..... Bring on the Angle grinder





With the welds nice and smooth with the help of the belt sander and few other special tools it was time to clean it up and give it a lick of paint and seam selant to prevent any more grot appering back and also got out the waxoil too to get alot of it down the sills and all the noocks and grannys....





Once all of this was done it was time to clean up and put seat back in and get home to try and wash the car ready for FITP

Here are the rough finshed pics untill i get all the seats out strip all the sound proofing off and spray the whole interior floor









So thats not the Floor of DTR solid now.... Time for a few new engine mods and styling things...

So time for a wash for FITP now...

Whilst DTR was getting a good wash and scrub.... this apperred.......





................. phone was soaked trying to get a pic of this....

Finally all dry and ready for FITP it was time to tuck her into bed......



Then Ready in the Morning.......



Now for some FITP pics....







Thanks For looking and feel free to comment........
