Well here you go as promised.

2000 W MK2 Ford Mondeo 1.8 Verona

Just washed it, T-Cut'd, Polished this evening:-

Image

Image

Got the usual imperfections in the paint for a 10 year old car... the usual scratches, slight bubbling around the fuel flap, and below the rear door, sills seem a tad scabby on one side.. only surface, and the paint has flaked off at the very bottom of wings

Wheels are corroded and manky looking

And needs the A/C regassing

Tempted to get it properly detailed to bring the best out of the thing :)

Other than that its a good motor!

Stuck 60ltr's in it and only have 1/3 tank left but have done 340 miles so far :)

Planned mods:-

Electric heated mirrors, colour coded (DONE)
Front fogs (DONE)
Cruise control (DONE)
Sterio control stalk on steeling column
Trip computer
Rear footwell lights (DIY) (DONE)
Maybe rear electric windows (DONE)
Maybe traction control
Maybe heated front seats
Extra boot light
Puddle lights on doors
One touch down passenger front window
Spoiler
Colour coded door handles
Rear door handles on the front to de-lock
MK3 Mondeo or BMW E46 Auto dip view view mirror
MK3 or Ghia spec Roof lights with map lights, for front and rear (DONE)
Ghia door handles with bulbs to light them up
16" Cossie style Mondeo alloys (DONE - Well ST200 17s)

All pretty easy, and cheap...

The major ones eg: rear elec windows, traction, heated seats are a maybe... all depends on the looms required.
Traction can be fitted easy enough as it runs off the ABS sensors and all the wiring is there anyway, but I'll probs leave it.
Heated seats, I have half the loom in the car I think... all depends on if I ever see a set of decent leathers, if not, not really arsed.

:)

TIP: if it hasn't already been done. Put bathroom sealant around the rear light clusters, because they leak (Design fault) It's usually the drivers side one though lol

But yeah looks tidy, sounds good what you are going to do - you should add zetec rear seats to the list, they have headrests and it's the same pattern you have

I'll check the rear lights :)

Good tip on the zetec rear seats ;) I'll hope there is one in the scrapyard on saturday :D

And no, the bumpers arent mashed up :P - shame tho, cause if they were i'd get the RSAP bumpers and skirts fitted :lol:

Think I may sand down the bottom of the sills, and underseal the bottom half of them along with the floorpan.

Shouldnt be too noticeable, but I hate seeing the rusty coloured seam of the sills! And will protect them some more!

Was looking at the car last night and realised I had a puddle under it, of PAS fluid.

Now I was thinking hmm okay, had a look around and noticed that some daft shite had removed the PAS cooler (probably due to it leaking) but replaced it with a pipe... thats fine... BUT

The bloody pipe has got a kink in it, stopping the fluid going round, and therefore split the pipe

So went to scrapyard and got a decent PAS cooler for £3 :teehheee:

Also went on the scavenge, and got Electric mirror switch, Front fog switch, extra boot light, 2 other boot lights to make rear footwell lights, and 2 red lights from the doors of a Scorpio so I can have red lights when I open the doors.

Went to halfords to get a facia to mount my CD player, £16.99 :banghead: but hey ho, I needed to fit my CD player... looked at the lead to easily wire in my CD player, £16.99 also, so told the bloke to bollocks and spend 20 minutes wiring the CD player in myself :lol:

Other than that, its all good!

Just had the fuel light come on, just hit 470 miles... and all that was short journeys to work etc! :D

I really really really really am tempted to get hold of a set of zetec-s bumpers and skirts :lol:
(same as ST24, but with a single rear pipe hole, and on the nearside not the offside)

You know I won't lie to you, Paul.

It's gash in every single way. Don't spend your time or money on the thing! just use it as a runabout.

I am with Ry on this, somethings which will make it more comfortable (eg cruise control) and might not cost much are great. But past that just use it for whats it meant for.

Paint it matt black, I hate the colour of it :P Apart from that seems like a good choice of car to just use as a daily until you can get something you can hate again? :D
