My first and very loved car from past to present!
When i first bought the old girl back in september 2011
First day i took it into work i left with some graffiti
After a while she didn't seem to run so well this is the main problem!
Yeah it happend the headgasket had gone big time!
So i repaired the head gasket at work staying on after work and during lunch breaks did all new head gasket valve stem seals full oil and filter change plugs and coolant! which made the car run really well for 200 miles then when i decided to go for a normal drive i got to the top of my road and heard a loud knocking noise the car cut out so i shamefully phoned the aa and got towed home, once i removed the rocker cover i found this
Where i had fitted the rocker shaft back on, without knowing that two bolts where longer put it all in willy nilly the two longer bolts had rubbed against the cam shaft causing vibration through the shaft to loosen the bolts and i call myself a mechanic!
Once all this was done i sprayed my badge on the front and got a cool little sticker bomb thingy
then christmas time came around and i got a few gifts from santa
The big man brought me a new exhaust k&n induction kit and face lift rear lights i also spray my badges on the back and put some gay stickers on
After a while i got fed up with the exhaust so went back to the standard back box debadged my car and bought some lovely illegal pressed plates! stupid man in halfords gave me the wrong paint! i also tinted my lights a little and de wipered the old girl
Then the little mods started i spray the inside of my combi meter (posh word for speedo) ford focus st electric orange
Upgraded to some clear indicator bulbs front and rear
Then stupid me thinking i had a disco not clio got the car stuck!
I bought a window sticker to rep a local company and also my cheeky cs tax disc holder
shortly after this time i had a accident which caused me spinning out at 70 mph lucky to walk away with just this
And thats really it until i start getting more money im looking to do the following.
Coilovers
new wheels, banded steels? or speedlines
172 rear bumper
some colour coding
new splitter of some description
Sport interior
Im always looking for feed back so hit me up with some ideas!
