*MAXXD* Clare's Rieger F40 Escort Cabriolet "BigCab"

[Alanman]

Managed to do shit loads. Stripped a bit more of the engine down to give me room. Basically just the engine itself left now.

The inner wings and around battery tray was the order of the day. 10 years ago when the car was still little cab we stripped the fuck out of it before the Rieger kit went on, just so we knew it was perfect, new inner wings, battery tray, front panel. But because I didnt think/realise what the cab's future would bring, the welds were just covered with sylicone. This is still there and has protected the weld perfect for 10 years but they just dont cut it in the show scene. So, last night I stripped out all the excess sylicone and simply covered the wounds with a nice layer of filler so we can paint them up all priddy like. Unfortunatelly the cab now looks like its be stood for 20 years with all the filler dust everywhere. lol.

Just a little bit more to do when I get chance and the top of the inner wings are ready for their final coat of paint.

Then when the engine is out, the bottom of the inner wings up to the main chassis will be getting a coat of BLACK paint. I'm sure it'll look okay and next year when Clare changes her mind and we pick ANOTHER colour for the cab only the tops of the inner wing will need recolouring, wilth no need for engine out. She changes her mind too often and I aint taking engine out every fuckin time. lol.

Oh yeah, this morning I have filler boggies. If you've ever use lots of filler you'll know what I mean. lol.
