WooDoo's Mexico

[Frosticles]

Looking very good there. Calipers look the biz. Still glad I went the Wilwood route though as I don't really trust the mounts of the Volvo ones after chopping.

So here we are almost 3 months later an the car is now MOT'ed and ready for use

Car @ South Wales Classic Car Club Show (pencoed) .HERE


just need to finish of a few blemishes in the bodywork before i put the Mex decals on, the intireor (yes i know my spelling sucks ) its very sparse, all the RS caps are missing, + my mother is going to make me a new headlining as the one i have with the car is in perfect nick and would be a shame to cut it up for the sun roof. and the seats need a re-trim

Car drives very nicley, corners like a go kart, tends to drink petrol a lot when giving it some stick, and the sun roof rattles the joys of old skool motoring much better that the 1.3 KA i drove before.

Blimey its been 12 months already?

Well the Mex has been good to me, 1000 mile trip to Lemans and back in june and then another 900 Miles to scotland and back for the RAC as well as been used as a daily driver in between.

well now that i have my first years no claims and i am now over 21 i can take out RS owners club insurance which has droped the price from £980 for 12 months to £400 so i can afford a second car, (1.9 Deisel polo) so i just for the good weather days now.

Now that i have finished paying for the deposit on my first house i can now start spending money on the mex again

first thing is the bumpers,

Shot blasted and powerder coated



Excuse the fly splatters

as you can also see there is a large smatters of Anti-Rust paint, on the spot light holes, on the front arches and also at the bottom of the front wings, the paint in these places has flaked off completley!!!

It comes off in large flakes and goes strait to bare shiney metal who ever painted the front end obviosly doesn't know how to key metal work for paint

Car also failed its MOT last week due to completley knackered rear suspension bushes. Re-test this sat

Well have started saving for this winters project 2.0ltr Zetec on throttle boddies,
