i'm blasting the shell myself dan,
given all the small bits to be blasted clean and powdercoated

_________________

so been getting my fuel tank ready
new on the top, old on the bottom
you can see the small difference on the bottom right of each tank





had a trial fit and was a bit tight on one corner
as the new tank had an extra piece as you can see marked with the red line below
so this was trimmed off





then DA'd the whole tank ready for metal primer





heres some pictures after i had it sprayed metallic silver in work (thanks lads)
i'm very happy with it

_________________

after not being able to find this bonnet latch support before i went to the powdercoaters
i admitted defeat and ordered a new one instead, well found the old one........................ nevermind
new vs old





a progress picture of the shot blasting, its taking a while but well worth it!





also prepped the zetec crank pulley which i could only get from fords in a horrid primer
so sprayed it myself satin matt black
from this





to this......................... chuffed with the outcome anyway

yesterday afternoon i had some time off from working on the fiesta
i went to see a guy i've been recommended by a few mates
i'm sure a few of you will know who it is from the pictures

basically had a chat about options for my interior
was nice to meet someone else mad about fords

heres some pics of his awesome cars






an examples of his work
this is trimmed with vinyl to match his theme with the mk1 fiesta






and the sample of nappa leather i'd be going for
black matt leather (as i dont like it to shiny)
