  1. think i have used my aircon 3 times since i owned the car LOL
  2. will be interesting to see how easy they are to fit i have got a mg arb but just havnt got round to fitting it to my mb
  3. The paint job they where first givin when i bought the car wasnt great it had alot of runs and never had a clear coat. look loads better now tho hopfully will attempt the rears soon.
  4. whislt i left them to dry i went on to changing my front pads to a new set of EBC green stuffs (AMAZINGS) white was a pig as all my bolts had siezed and ended up sheering off so had to take the whole pad carrier off and weld new heads on to remove the left over thread. took its time but worked in the end mrgreen: but caliper needs a little touch up pffttt quick fix!! And now for part that really made me smile. The hose kit i bought of ebay came with a nice little logo on it which i wasnt expecting didnt take long to fit and defo helped the look of the engine. once the alloys had a few days to harden i put the fronts back on after rocking with some steelies . so the front look 10x better than they did but i do admit i could of done a better job. I just got so fed up of removing paint. So i think a long break before doing the rear is a good idea. Still need to upload some videos of drag racing but until then I will leave you all with a photo of the car (low on back as boot is full)
  5. So week off work to mess around with car and get some needed fresh devonshire air! so i will start with a photo from the top of my drive so you can understand why I hate london and love the country. So my first job was to refurb my alloys which i thought wouldnt be so hard until i found out the paint consisted of 3 resprays and 1 powerder coated layer, this was a major bumper as i instantly new i would be spending more time on them than i wanted to. Here is what one alloy looked like after the leaving the nitromorse on for 40 mins and then attempting to remove the paint. From here i then tried to use the sandblaster which helped remove the first flew layers of paint but hardley touched the powder coating layer. i had a help tho so it wasnt to bad So after spending 4 days removing paint I had only managed to sptrip the front 2 wheels and decided that was all i could achieve without spending all my holiday playing with paint. So bought the paint and primed the stripped ones. they looked funny on the car but not my style from here I then sprayed 3 layers of base coat and 3 layers of clear which the photo dosnt do it justice as dam they are glossy
  6. hopefully will be able to upload some new photos and a couple vids of drag racing soon just need to find the spare time
  7. most likely but im not going out without a fight
  8. If you go up against any EP3s, just focus the camera on the owners faces HAHA i will lucky if i do as its the classic ford fair this weekend. im only going to mess around with my girlfriends dads hotrod again

  12. Just ordered will help make the engine look top notch My EBC green stuff break pad have arrived MG ZS roll bar has arrived and bought a s**t ton of wet and dry paper for my week off at the beginning of June to do a full alloy refurb and respray.
