GingerFlame Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Have you managed to find anyone to spray it yet? :) great to see you didn't give up on it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Not yet mate, saving some more money (as it will cost more). But hopefully my mate will still do it......too much time spent on it, don't think I could of sold it. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Going to be cracking on with this in the next few weeks.....been really busy. Going to spray all the door shuts, boot shut etc. And stone chip the arches. And a few other little bits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Change of plans! :D Still getting painted diamond white, but will be putting the chrome back around the side windows and tops of doors. Also it's rub strips will be fitted, along with the 3 coach lines (see pic below). Front bib will still be fitted, but thinking of having no rear spoiler. (can always be fitted later). Next year I'm going to get some bbs style alloys (sticking to 14"). And once the engine is run in, and I know it's good. Twin 40 webers, if I can find some. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC600 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Had the Escort up and running, seems to run a lot better since fitting the new coolant cap. Holding its pressure better.......need a new battery though. That ones past its best for starting. :) http://youtu.be/MGtym_FHxJk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC600 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Bosch S5.. can't recommend it enough :) It's Bosch one I've been quoted for but can't remember which one......don't need anything too heavy duty as there are hardly any electrics. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
