The Full Body Off Resto..

[greyhulk]

Hi Damian, no the reservoir just came with the servo (presume it'd foul the bonnet) off a ford fiesta or something along those lines. Only cost £50 in oppose to £250 there charging on eBay for ka one I think? (Can't remember)

My servo was rotten so had to be replaced & got twin brake fluid reservoirs from CBS in titanium finish

Hi Greyhulk,

Super job on the car looking forward to pics of finished item.

Two questions if u don't mind,

One, what are the tyres and sizes that u have on ?

Two, How did u get the wheels to look so good, r they sprayed or polished?

Hi mate, thank you, can't wait to get it back to be honest. The tyres I'm about to have put on are toyo proxes cf2 205/60 R15, got a pretty sweet deal for the four. The rims are just powder coated in 'shadow chrome' worked out about £180 for the four which was great. Hyper silver also looks really good

Another week wait due to another silicone hose missing (js performance grrr) apart from that, test run & few minor cosmetic touches the full body resto & various upgrades are virtually completed. Reborn 'greenhulk'


Do excuse the blue boy racer'ish air duct, still waiting on black silicone replacement, AutoSiliconeHoses taking absolutely ages to get stock in..

Its.. Alive

lower grills finally replaced with stainless steel upgrade (phillpot will be happy)

Finally get it back this weekend , fair to say ive made a few bold choices interior & exterior

[greenhulk]

Thank you, yeah i am really pleased with it all, sure some of the things are just a matter of personal taste.. I mean 'bright green' silicone hoses are the boldest choice by far but hey they match the calipers & have the desired effect of standing out when the bonnets open.

Hm i would have changed the choice of wrapping s.steel manifolds to ceramic coating which just looks way better, also the wing mirrors to body colour but its due back this weekend & i dont want to delay it any more & of course the darn blue air intake will be a must to changeover to black silicone asap!

[greenhulk]

Nice one gents, yes glen they are indeed capri wing mirrors (think mk2 escort aswell?) our very own phillpot has them. They really suit the car well so i thought id change my mx5 ones over, the drivers side was set abit too low anyway had me ducking in the seat to see out of it properly.

Richard i shall supply full tinted shades for spectators of the 'green dream' engine bay , are you going ahead with the respray on yours then? If so what colour.. same as my silicone hoses maybe :

Hopefully i shall see you gents soon at one of the next gatherings

and... its ready for me to pick up! Just a little bonnet heatshield replacement to do (one on pics looks tacky imo)
Very pleased with all the work been done on the rebuild & all the upgrades i asked for.
Tony at coventry car centre has been an absolute pleasure to deal with, kept me up to date with pictures of the work been done on the car each week & calls up to discuss possible alterations etc
