For the front bumper bar use a ke30 and chop it up so it looks like the same type used on the Mk1 Escort. Little bumperets.

My old wheels are also on the site for sale atm, if you were going to go down the star shark track. Advertised for a lot more than i sold them for tho :/

Yesterday Pulled all trim off decided on more of a KE30 look no trim, also started to sand down rust on wheel wells

 

Still need to remove all left over sticky rubber from trim... and left side guard will need to be filed down.

 

also found original colour underneath when I have the cash would love to get it sprayed original would look sick!.

Edited March 29, 201214 yr by dominating

Also looked under carby today at extractors and just casually a bolt missing... could this cause damage? don't want to sounds noob but I am lol

 

and whoever did the dodgy paint job tried to drill and screw the trim on then proceeded to use white double sided tape to hold it on.

 

also 3rd picture below what is this and why is both ends unplugged?.

 

Last thing where is a good place to start when cleaning up the engine bay for someone who is just starting?

cheers for linking your build good read every time I look at your car I just can't wait to see what mine turns out like :)

good clean start mate. best of luck

Nah man that bolt missing wont harm it at all, it's just once the two manifold split apart that'll it'll become loud as FCK. Just chuck another bolt in there and you'll be good to go

cheers man wouldn't mind trying to find some 4 in 1 extractors and getting rid of them.

Extractors are cheap and easy to fit, $200 thereabouts can get them most places. second hand one come up pretty often.

When you get the extractors fitted make sure they also fit in a flange between the extractors and exhaust. Otherwise you'll live in regret if you ever have to pull the motor out.
