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

[Alanman]

Right, bit of an update on 2011 progress.

The front wheels will be ordered 17th or 18th Feb. I'm sticking with 8.5j but will be about a 3" dish so should still look the biz. 235 35 19 Michelin are the choice of tyre.

I've been prepping another dash ready for flocking black rather than the cream one. This will be done with my own flocking kit I bought of the tinterweb lol, so you never know the cream might be staying yet. But if it works well then bring on the flock++

++ Variable mates rates will apply. lol.

Also started to transform the engine bay that bit more for 2011. I've already replaced the 5mm breather hoses for the ECU and dump valve etc with matching colour. There was 4 different colours, thicknesses and ages. So £3 worth of hose has made it all matching and looks the tits already. Before the next show anything that can be, will also be replaced. Theres a shit load of 19mm breather hoses going all over the engine bay mostly fromt the rocker cover to the oil seperator and to the meatering unit, so I recon they'll be next. Then the water hoses to the header tank and swirl pot will be last. Should look sweet then.

Still undecided on colour of calipers. I'd like gold to match the bells but finding the right colour match might prove difficult. Although gold with red writing would look the tits. If not gold, Clare wants blue.

Not much else really. Bit of tidying, and cleaning (or painting if its easier) and we're ready for 2011. Woop fuckin woop. I cant wait.
