Guest gavintwopies Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Got another trick up my sleeve when it comes to removing the locks just need to see if i can track down what i need to make it happen 1st as its going to swing 1 of 2 ways, but both are very similar outcomes.

Guest gavintwopies Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 well i managed to get the 1st stage of what i wanted to make out the way as ideally i would have had them made from stainless so i could polish them but the bolt supplier did not carry them so i have them on order but as he had the tensile steel version i got these instead and done the machining at work to make them look like dummy locks butonce donethey looked a little boring so managed to spraff a ford logo dxf image off the net and engrave them, there now painted mat black to prevent rusting imeadiatly.

Guest gavintwopies Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 well got the dummy locks in today they look ace still unsure as to wether or not to fit the stainless ones once i make them. also fitted the remote central locking kit off fle-bay mega,mega,mega bargain. . . . . . . . £18 deliverd!!!!!! normally £21.50 deliverd but it was on a best offer.

gingergman Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 good idea, not my cup of tea tho, stainless ones might look better, give them a try when you get them! those central locking kits are a bargain, mine is diffrent but was under 20 quid, they work brill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gavintwopies Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) Well now that xmas is out the way i've got the chance of a cheap banger focus tdi as a daily driver and breaking my 2.0 16v mondeo so looks like the pink cabby will be getting a new heart that beats a bit more rapid than its counterpart.... this might also inc. transfering the old heated seat pads over as well as a few other odd's n sod's.

Guest gavintwopies Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Well is it just me or have all the local roads suddenly sprung 20,000 new massive pot holes between where i live and work??? So to save the 17'S dying a horrible 50p shaped death i bought some black rs turbo rims for the time being just to see if i can regain some drving comfort when out offroading, sorry i mean going to work.....

I've got a soft spot for the Orions and lost count of how many ive had. my last one was matt black running steelies with a full rs kit and running a rst lump. looked like s**t but went well sadly ive not got any pictures as at the time I wasnt into pc's and never owned one.

Guest gavintwopies Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 well i have been raking around and have finally managed to get everything together to put a 1.8 zetec in her mota just been messing on with the hammerite as you do to give it a freshen up.... then after hoying the sump through the blaster at work to give it a clean up to. I very nearly put a 2.0 in but thinking about it i think her in doors would end up in a hedge somewhere so opted on the 1.8 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gavintwopies Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Well this must be the 1st time since as long as i can remember that i put a days holiday in, and actually got 90% of the day to my advantage!!!!! so spent most of the morning sorting out the engine loom for the conversion, then weighed some wheels in, then got all my e-bay posting done. turns out the zetec loom can be extended and is only a 9 wire & 3 relay connection!!!
