Danny/Terry fair enough but it's my car lol want to make it different and the thing is it can be reversed[/quote]

indeed it is buddy, but as its been said already we all like different things

but yes get some comps

You'll end up selling the car before to long anyway!


Just sell the car to fund the wheels!

From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

That's very true Terry but kms > comps lol

started hammeriteing inside the car today

it's not pretty and will be covered up with the interior - but it will help the fight against rust - and I found £1.20

stripped out rear



wirebrushed and waxoyled under door seals on rear doors:




thin layer of waxoyl on interior panel



started applying hammerite to the rear:

Thats really not pretty lol what did you use? People use smooth or something for stripped out cars and it looks black not oily,

Have you done the outside under the car? Because its eats it way in rather than inside/out surely?

Can be both chris but yeah exterior next I hope?

Adam just save like 50 quid a month or something? They look stupidly fit on daves.

Outside is after I've finished interior

Unless dave loans or sells his to me ridiculously cheaply it's not happening

Would have done exterior first and probably not bothered with the interior personally.

Someine say comps?

_________________

So Dave, cheap sale?

doing both the inside and outside will help mk5's are just as bad

sod off with comps

Lol how did I know you would somehow bring up my car. This time with pretty much no relevance

If I were to do mine it'd only be outside lol but no point when im getting it cut out anywah

_________________

Wasn't your car was it?

Fully relevant for afterwards

Good work on the rust prevention. There's no chance I'd be doing that inside the car but I'm sure it will help

Did someone say Comps again?

Update properly later but no comps and plans have changed

Big-ish update:

Firstly - cleaned and waxed for Classic Ford:










this morning at 6:15am



Not So Good Update:

been wondering where the oil has been going. Long and Short is that the top hoses have oil in so it looks like the turbo oil seals are perished

so plans have changed.

No GT28 as don't want hassle of 200+bhp in a mk3.

Plan is to refurb this turbo ASAP

then save up for full kms and leave power around 190bhp.

bit pissed off

Id agree power you have is plenty for a mk3.
Shame about the seals but atleast you have a plan.

Paintwork looks brand new in those pics.
