all those dots are rain.

forgot to mention, you can see the colour difference from bonnet to guard, i put some more clear on the top of the guard, got it to match alot better.

Looks like the bonnet came up ok. Did you strip it right back?

also, double check the earthing on the front indicators before you take it in. That was the only glitch i had with them.

yeah i earthed them out, they worked, put em all on, then stopped working, had to make the earth better then reassemble again..

yeah i just lightly sanded the underneath, but i took the top down to metal and primed myself..

i got some tiger stripes in the clear, but ill deal with that later.

YES! finally at the roadworthy place!!

really antsy... lol [:x)]

i keep thinking
"geez i hope they didn't take it on a joyride to maccas or something..."

Hopefully PASS!!!!



Fingers crossed....[:u]

Car is looking much beeter now sterling.

Good luck with it.

hey mate i see ya looking for another escort or somthing what's the story you've put so much time into this one?

ive just deleted that, i got another list.. this one is bigger than the first one.

ahhhhhhHHHH!

i was on the verge of buying a roadworthy CF and just swapping all the parts i wanted over.

after some thinking and talking.. im leaning towards manning up and seeing this through to the end.

theres 29 things on this new list.. 29

arh poo poo no good mate good luck with it

did you take it to the same place sterling? how can there be 29 new things?/what are they?

i took it to a different place, showed them the previous list and what i had done, and they found alot of new things.

here it is:

windscreen to be replaced

ignition switch faulty

holes in firewall

timing belt cover missing

alternator wiring insecure

driver door seal damaged

RH R speaker insecure

no spare wheel retainer

spare wheel grommet missing

wiper blades to be replaced

no washers and bottle to be replaced

front l/h park light out

RHF headlight reflector tarnished

LHR park light out

number plate light out

no brake lights

no reverse lights

front wheel bearings to adjust

oil leak gearbox

oil leak engine

oil leak fuel pump

exhaust leak

LH front brake hose split

rear brake hose perished

LHF ball joint worn

engine oil leak

rear brakes to adjust

rear wheel cylinders leaking

-------------------------------------------

suspecting, dodgy b@stards

heres what im iffy about

ignition switch faulty - not faulty, ive just wired it so that engine still runs on ACC, haven't looked into at all.

no washers and bottle to be replaced - got home, tested, washers WORK

front l/h park light out - also tested, works

LH front flexible brake hose split/cracked - got on my knees and looked, ITS FINE not cracked at all!

i think i will talk to colin at cam automotive..

as for the rear brake cylinders leaking, when i took my axles out, i checked these, and they were fine, so unless they started leaking since then, its bullsh!t too.

mums trying to convince me to get on the market for another escort/cortina and swap my parts over to one thats already road worthy
