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

[Alanman]

Update: Thursday 18th march: 2 days to Fast Show

Another red bull induced night and we're almost done.

First off put all the interior back in and is just needing a clean now and some more stickers applied.

Next, all wheels removed and all under arched under sealed and any white bits that need touching up were touched up.

While wheels were off I needed to sort the air intakes on the side. Its always had dirty mesh and I was never happy wit it, so decided to copy the air intakes off a VX220. I got to use the grinder too. mwahaha. I cut up an old Escort mk3 grill to give me a load of fins. Just doing the slots to slide them in and I had a little accident. When you grind plastic it melts and sticks to itself but a few seconds its cooled enough to simply snap it off. I didnt wait lond enough and it was still runny and hot, very hot. It stuck to my finger and no mather how fast I jumped about and blew on it, it would not come off. lol. It must have only been on my finger for 5 second but it was a loooooong 5 seconds.

I now have a huge cool blister that stings like a bitch. I pricked it this morning but it still huge. lol


I think it was worth it, I recon they look good. Its all in the detail. lol.


Just as I left the garage, I tiger sealed a oil breather / fiter thing in the engine bay that seens to have broke its seals. Just need to replace this tonight.

Not much else left now.

Wiper on.
Switch for engine fan. Its a little dicky.
Couple end caps, stole off little cab, but roof need to be down to put these on.
Last bit of Reiger sticker
Tinted sun strip
Interior clock and mirror.

Thats about it really. So fingers crossed we'll be ready tonight, a whole day before the deadline. woop woop.
