Mint69

uploaded a pic of my alternator.will take some more in the weekend. Which chrome peices are you after mate?

Guilty.Mint69 coming from the town of Gore

Im tryin to change and improve as much as I can.I have stripped and painted my door cards which are now a gloss white, my door arm rests are now tropicana green (close to car paint colour, and is even a ford colour!) with a few layers of clearcoat to save from being damaged, Window winders have been polished and the plastic roller handle has been painted green with the clearcoat aswell. Alternator is fisnhed, has been stripped and fixed and painted. It is painted with decent chrome paint,green for the exposed wire peices and a the plastic cover at the back is white,the pulley on the front has been painted green to offset the chrome and the bolt in the middle has been painted chrome aswell. Have had custom made headunit case from Rimu and and clearcoated, my front speaker pods are being fibre glassed as we speak so they will be painted white once I get them back. Im in the prcess of taking the engine out so will be sending my order away to STA parts in Auckland for all the gaskets etc and other bits and peices. Cam is going to be sent away to Kelfords in Christchurch. Im not exactly sure what else will be done to the engine but once it is pulled out I'll decide then. I need to buy some Gudgeon pins as the ones in in it now make the typical knocking noise as i had turned the engine over when i got the car. I have also painted my manifold with the chrome paint which will have a nice new K&N filter on top of it once I order it. Will list more once I know myself what else is going to be done. Car is heading off to the panel beaters at the end of this month all going well. If any one knows where I can get a real good Radiator for my Mk2 that would be cool as my one is stuffed.

Here's a link to where you can view the photo's of the cars so far http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z2/mint69-ford/

Well Here's my project car at the moment.Own 2 of them and am in the process of making one good one from 2 cars. Plenty of pics to post as the work progresses. It will be a one of a kind as im not going for the original look.Here's the details on what should be in it when its finished. Engine: 1600 x-flow which will be modified. will list what as it gets done. Body: Is going to be Zazzy green which is a metalic green mitsi colour with 1k clearcoat. Chrome strips from the back are not going to be put back on but other chrome bits and peices are. Wheels: 13x7 polished hotwires( still trying to get some nice tyres, most likey get 205 50's) Interior: Custom white with green insert bench seats with custom made sub box with amp, front speaker pods, Autogauge gauges, neons under dash, Autotechnica Woodgrain wheel, race pedals, custom painted column change with custom gear knob, Sony Xplod Audio package. That's just a minor run down but will add more detail as the project comes together
