Guest Demonjams Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hi I'm new to the forum but I want to start a thread on the restoration of my 1991 H reg mk4 cab I've only got her today and I've got to do a bit of temporary work to get her thru the mot! but I've got a feeling this might be a long thread, when I've finished I'm hoping she'll be a real head turner!! So I'll apologise upfront for the time it may take me to complete it and hopefully for you to read it through to the end. I'll get some pictures on tomorrow so you can see what I'm starting with but I'm lucky cos she's pretty solid and standard. I just hope at the end it makes for good reading and a lovely looking mk4 cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Demonjams Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Actually guys whilst I'm thinking about it do you reckon I should keep the original paint scheme or go for all burgundy? Being a painter you would think I could make my own mind up but knowing so many colours I could put on gets my mind racing and to be honest I wanted a bit of fresh perspective on it because I keep umming and arring over keeping it two tone or going for complete red/ burgundy, do me a faver and tell me what you guys think! it might help me make up my mind once and for all!!!!!

RScab Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Original colour is best in my opinion But depends if you intend to keep the car standard or modify it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skittles80 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Agree with rs cab but my personal choice would be to keep it to tone if you want to give it a face lift try doing the bottom in sea grey still two tone just a different take on it good luck with what ever u decide mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Demonjams Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Finally got round to start stripping her and managed to locate a second hand bonnet with no rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Demonjams Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Think I've finally decided on a colour, the old cossie colour nouveau red, I just love deep metallic reds like that and I wanted to keep a ford colour on it and keep it close to the original colour being a burgundy so I'm probably 90%sure that's what I'm going for??? Any feed back would be welcome cheers Edited September 9, 2015 by Demonjams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Demonjams Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Managed to get passenger side ready for primer and thought I would give my wheels a refurb whilst I'm doing the car, i think I'll do em anthracite thought I may as well do the lot whilst I'm on also spent over £500 on eBay on bits for it. Wifey was not happy as you can imagine but at least she'll be nice when I've finished or at least that's what I keep tellin the missus !!

Guest Demonjams Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Also has anyone ever fitted a s2 rs turbo side skirts and arches to these? Cos I've bought a kit of eBay fibre glass replica and at first offering up they look well crap to fit! Any advice or comments would be welcome and helpful cheers.

Guest Demonjams Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The body is ready for priming now hoping to get that done tomorrow, slow goin but gettin there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 good work mate looking good, if the kit is a fibre glass one it'll prob be a shite fit, you want a genuine one, will fit with ease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Demonjams Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yeah it's a fibre glass job! Might not bother with it if it's gonna be git to fit, thought I'd buy it and see what it's like but not very good at first glances, I might have a play around with it and see if I can make it fit! If not its in the skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
