bill. thats amazing... how much did it cost you in total ?

 

[Riko]

Hmm... im replacing my wings soon anyway due to damage... so I'm also interested in a rough price!

give us a break Mat
lol

Just editing it for accuracy. Don't want folk thinking it has 65bhp and then put it on a RR and comes out with less

Plus, AFAIK, I had the most powerful 1.4 at 61.6bhp! Don't know anyone else to put theirs on the RR

only 'performance' mod is a back box

it has to be a decent dyno.. no back yard crap.. dynodynamics only!

All I had was back box and a few SCN stickers

Breather Filter was clogged with oil also, so probably wasn't running right LMAO

Was also done on Dyno Dynamics

Think they were just going to put arch spats on

Not to the extensive work you have gone to Bill which is a good job may i add.

I know.. previously I ran the spats on it (stuck on) as I had clearanced the metal behind them. not enough room, so the cutting disk and welder had to come out

About 1 weekends work to make each front arch, and similar for the rears. cost was time in the main + some prep material and paint

 

[Mat]

you do all of that yourself Bill?

Done a very tidy job! Need to see this car in "real life"

you dont fancy doing mine for a few beers?

also i agree with mat, this needs to be brough out and possibly taken for a run

 

[Mat]

free test drives did i hear?

I'm first! Oh, and if not, I call shotgun

My dad used to work in a bodyshop and he still is a dab hand especially with mk1 escort bubble arches, some work put in there.

Looks good, works well as you have a legendary ibiza.

work was myself on fronts and tony & myself on the rears doing on the metalwork, and flatting. bodyshop painted the rears I painted the fronts myself when I did them.

it is a lot of work

looking fwd to driving it again myself.. remember how scarey it was before the extra 100bhp and lighter stiffer chassis.
