well here it is, managed to get a loan from a family member and picked it up today (wednesday)

this is a very good spec Si if i say so myself, it has everything excluding electric mirors

general plans for now are to just maintain it, bring it back upto its rightful condition, sort the rust down the drivers side, replace the snapped rear arb bracket, lower it by 30-40mm and something its gonna need soon is new brake discs, so instead ill get some 260mm brakes of a Zetec S for it, the discs have little meat left
new wipers all round as theyre shocking, heat soak protect the K&N banana intake pipe, as it gets boiling under there
fit my cd player and sub once i buy a new amp wiring kit as mines broke the remote lead (or i could just replace that with some normal wire )
colour code the mirrors, and handles, and replace its missing roof rack strips

here she is, in Petrol blue





















has a file full of documents, including past mot's, reciets and servicing


full ford service history upto 07/89k



1995 3 door, in caymen blue, 1.6, K&N 57i induction kit, standard stainless exhaust, dual airbags, front heated screen, electric windows, central locking, power steering, anti lock brakes, boot release, rear standard speakers, CD player

----

done my first 'mod' to it today





they were genuinly fucked lol, these are on offer in tesco, half price so £1.50 each, and aero blades for who ever wants to know are £3.00each! bargain :Q

but i want to keep this looking standard so no aero's for me

little update on her

first day of going through the things to sort it out

fog light first, fitted my old si's one for the cracked one






the diadem indicator bulbs from the mk4 as i wont be using it






battery cover


heat wraped the Banana


my old Si's straight ariel


and my Alpine speakers, going to do things right with this car, so im gonna get my hands on some adapter plates to make them fit right



and the finishing touch


------

snapped one of the little clips on the drivers indicator when i put the diadems in, so it didnt sit level in the wing

so popped to the scrappy for a new indicator lense/unit, better



also got some roof rack strips that were missing when i bougth it, i will be painting these satin black tomorrow :Q


one of my tyres has a nail in it so had that repared, no more deflating over night

and just some pics after a nice wash and wax last night, cheers matt for taking the pics









i love this one

little more progress

the roof rack strips i bought were sun faded badle, so i sanded them down, and painted them in two coats of satin black








not sure most of you will like this, but for the moment its a good idea, ill then keep my eyes open for the rear accessory items

took my spare rear lights





used the satin paint lightly over it and then laquered it



matt come round and tarted up one of my spare cam covers, sprayed satin and ground back text





and on





more touching up to come



-----

used satin black paint, lightly, theyre just for the time, i want the accessory ones not even sure what they go for :-?


been doing some more today, painted the caps on the wipers satin

i tried the RS1600 wheels on



looks really good, ill fit them on day, they will need new tyres and once its lowered

jon

where you at f.i.t.p? parked next to a shed of a black mondy?

incedently how low is yours mate?

Got -35mm spax lowering springs on her with brand new ford shocks. Sits just right imo.

_________________

well when i went to view the car ihad a hunch that i was right on, as most Si's have, a broken anti roll bar, i decided to steal one of the brackets off the mk4 for the Si

the culprate


fitted, i was gonna put the poly bushes on too, but i couldnt fidn the time today to remove the whole anit roll bar off the mk4, takes a bit more effort then an Si



then i set about fitting the newly painted rocker cover
started by cleaning up the locating lugs, as rust on new black paint looks poo :bonkers:



the gasket looked recently changed so i went on with it, evidance of its constant servicing by ford :Q



i gave the most of the bay a good clean with wirewool, including the pas crossover pipe and inlet and exhaust heatshield

i was gonna do the strut tops a clean too but i have my eyes on some chrome ones (and thats all the chrome ill have under here!, maybe a oil filler too )


bit of solvent and the filler cap is clean :Q


embossed :aviator:


the brake servo is now letting the bay down, so it will need a respray soon, but i dont fancy taking it out just for that ops:

then the next few hours was taken by fitting my Sub, rewiring the snapped co-axle connectors and the snapped remote lead, ended up replacing the remote with ordinary wire, im now enjoying bass as it should be, im happy with the sounds atm, wouldnt mind some 10cm rear uprated speakers to replace the tired factory ones, but id need adapters too, still need adapters for the fronts too

minor update, considering im skint

pic of the Sub


been saying i was going to do it, so here it is, the spoiler got a nice touch up today

masked it up, wasnt painted outside though it was too windy


and done, in Satin



i also done my airel pod and mast



sutble things all add up to a neat and tidy car :Q

lowering springs will be payed for on Friday and hopefully new brakes soon as the standards are simply shocking!

---

my strut top covers arrived today, so got them on the car

look much better imo, and its happend! ive got the chrome BUG! fuck!

lucky for me though i still hate over the top chrome engine bay's, so gonna keep it to a 'entry level' spec


going to try for the bonnet stay, oil, coolant and washer bottle caps and ill be happy and everything will contrast well together, black and chrome

anyway piccies




fitted, not bad for 99p on ebay!



ive also bought some LED bulbs on ebay specials to tart up the lighting a bit more, 501 white led bulbs and 24 led red stop/tails for the back

Slamming it next!

looks good fella
keep upthe work
