14fast Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Saved this mk2 4dr from the crusher was just a rough rolling shell when i got it about 6 years ago. Slowly worked on it over time, got it on the road just before christmas F@#KEN YAY , not completely done but good enough to drive around. Got sick of walking past it all the time Its now running a rebuilt 2.0l pinto & type 9 5sp Discussion: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=31332 Main areas on the body that needed attention was the tops of the guards and left rear corner which someone had done a shit job of trying to repair with lots of body filler!!. Only had small rust spots in the drivers floor which we cut out, and r/f door was full of rust, chucked the door & put a better one on With a bit of hammer & dolly work & filling & sanding, the back panel started to come up alright Also had ago at the engine bay, cut out the battery tray and radiator shroud and filled some factory spot weld dimples, had the idea of having a smooth clean look engine bay, why i did this who knows Relocated the battery to the boot area. Primed & block sanded it back a coulpes times till it was ready for colour more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14fast Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Got a mate to spray the bionic blue paint, took the colour from the new ford falcons. Looks good but not 100% down with the colour, needs some chrome mags or something. Running escort rostyles blacked out, will do for now. Got a new fiberglass front wing off trademe, added that and fiberglass 1/4 bumpers it. Improved the look big time!! Also put the early round lights in, not a fan of the square lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
