Sup flatmate, just making a page so people can inform us on your skidwagon and hook you up with handy hints For a start, anyone know if any replacement panels are available for 160s?

Matt black has its place, but not on this car sorry! I was planning on shooting it this tripped out Rover colour - blue-flip-purple-flip-green but it turns out that it was just a prototype colour and no-one can mix it...gay. Definatley not painting it a solid colour, its gonna be blingin'. I was going to post new pix today but out flat flooded so i been bailing and moppping all nite, rank end to a rankass day. Shay, you said you were gonna txt me ur new number a month ago, slack yokel. 027 3526332. beeter hear from you or ill disown you au.

Back on the interweb! Heres an older set of pix of car in etch and grey guide.

Haha random, that 26 was in my driveway a few weeks back, askin if he could borrow our buff. cant remember his name but hes jases mate eh. that grille is el minto in the flesh! Dunno if i like ur wheels on the wag shay bro, just my opinion, Cuzzin Josh

Touce'! Got the esky fully bare metalled and etched in the booth, now its matt black au! all my stuff is at home here coz we had 2 move outta our shed. cant wait to start into it, its eating at meeeee!

You meaning me? Haha Mrs, thts ingenious. Grille is still at the shop so dont know the price, but going by previous work, it will be perfect, this guy is a champ! Motor and everything was not in car, dunno if it ever has, so mounts and stuff will most likely be from scratch, there are mounts in a box but look very standard. My diff will obliterate, ill make sure of it.

Ill be there, YAY PROMO GIRLS. Better be oldschool there or ill start a riot you will see on channel one news

Car is bare of everything including paint andself respect. Only a few patches need a going over with the purple wheel and it will be off to the booth for a shot of Matt black Etch. Ive rebuild the tail and headlights, autosoled the shit out of the chromework, had a bunch of shit Zinc plated, yada yada, Progress is solid.

I havent really been looking for those bits, but I always find what I need Ill keep an eye out for you.

Now im back online after so long ill let you know what the latest is.. It was only really last weekend I got a chance to work on it and in that weekend I got the bitch stripped out and half of it Bare-metalled. On closer inspection the front left Guard is pretty fucked, Past repairs and the like, but unless a good one turns up that I can stitch straight on, ill just repair it. The paint scheme has changed yet again but ill keep this under my hat for now, as it will be the only Escort youve seen sporting it and id cry if someone sprayed it before me Am back down in Otago for x-mas, but am going home early to get as much done as possible before starting work again on the 4th. Id like it in Etch before the 4th, so wish me good luck, ol' schoolers! BITS I STILL REQUIRE *Front Bumperettes *Good Round Light Grille =$30, at Max Wildermoth's being straightened and re-anodised= *Interior Switches which arent Crispy =Got a mint one for free but will buy new switches and put in place=

Jeeze shay, you fucked it good! Looked mad in the matt, cant wait to see it finished!

Leaving paint for so long is only because the car is in the shed and being re-assembled, hense buffing when its ready to go on the road, which takes out any scratches and oil n shit that have happend while its being re-assembled. its more likely to turn to complete shit if you leave it for ages. and just a note, dont ever attempt to spray 2k without a booth, the hardner is packed full of isocyanates which = death unless you have an air fed respirator and air suitably clean enough for it.

Anyone got a spare seat or 2? Can roll to my shed in Woolston after and check out my Mk1 if keen?

Does look real good, just dont crash it like the rolla! The significance of the knob on the aerial being?

Weve hotboxed this car so many times its not funny...wait, yes it is. As i said in the other projects bit its going into a shed for paint prep this week and sprayed soon after.

Car is in Chch now, has been for a few months, getting it in a shed this week to do the paint prep, then its off to the boothe we use through work, sprayed, back to shed and a night mish to get it re assembled, and back home to be played with.

yay it arrives up here soon! cant wait

I misss it bad, its 7 hours away

Good shit man! And a good lesson to be learned..Be patient and look around before doin the easy option, the perfect answer usually awaits. Approx Time frame until road legal?

A date? aaaahahahah how about a new date every week since it went away last year! It is super smoove, that cobweb grille would go down like a dream, ratrod styles! Top dollar well spent.

Ouch muzzie, very ouch! haha. I think im gonna paint it Deep Metallic Blue now eh, Metallic is teh love. Man, i just said teh love..not good.

Use Stripclub ads and KF boxes you rich bastards. Lucky my carpet in the Mk1 was good, new carpet makes a car look hell much better aye, fully worth it.

Fuck your car is the shit, no matter what anyone says. especially oldd deamon whatsisfacee hes annoying. its shiny amd flash and shiny
