Exhaust tips look good Russ!
That's what I do to mine every few months, comes up awesome!
Take heaps of pics of how you tape everything up etc as I'd love to redo all my moulds too, so scary though haha, I hate painting things :lol:

Cheers, Luke

Thanks mate!
I've already painted the cowling and wiper arms, haha... sorry bro.
It's easy enough to do, I actually removed it from the car.
Just two screws on each half of the cowl, then some retaining clips.
After you've sorted that out, take off your wiper arms with a 13mm socket.
Works out all right.

Now I just need to spray my serpentine cover.

I wouldnt use enamel on the moulds or even cowl, i wouldve used Black Bumper Paint
Its flexible and what ya want for something long lasting.

Also the rear quarter windows are rubberish and hence need it too.

Or go crazy and do as per tech doc
documents.php?d=20

Think I might use the bumper paint for the rear quarters,
Thanks!

I noticed that the rubber lip on the cowl didn't like the paint at all, so Ill definitely use the bumper paint for the rubber quarters.

Keen to get onto the rear quarters this weekend,
as well as giving the Ghia a good hit with a claybar and detailer.

Found some bumper paint at the local parts joint, so Ill grab that soon.
As well as some silver to do my Serpentine cover.
Also tossing up if I should tint my repeaters... hmm.

What else can I paint....

Cheers,
Russ.

A mate of mine has just installed this to his E36 BMW.
Image
The sound it produces at high RPM is awesome, and the placebo performance is also great!

So, being human I got kind of envious and wanted the same thing on my car.
So now I think I might just go ahead and follow this tutorial, (Link) and install a K&N Pod to my car, along with an AU duct from the t/b to the EL elbow.

Cheers!

So, she's all clean for All Fords Day.

But, with the good comes the bad.
And it turns out my brake booster was cracked...

Will be fixing it as soon as possible!

Cheers,
Russ.

Are your brakes still rocket assisted or did you put the new booster in?

Haha, new booster and master cylinder has been fitted.
The Ghia stops half decent now.
