Nah man, have just been collecting bits to replace such as the pulleys, belt, balancer, water pump and a p/s pump.
My rocker cover being sprayed this week (finally), it'll be a very interesting pearl metallic black  either with gold or red. I'll post pics as soon as I get it.I should probably get around to respraying my block too (masking up is going to be a b**ch  )

HEEEEERES JOHNNNNYYYY
  It looks like full metallic black in the shade, but once the sun hits.. It does look more red like in person, think the sh!tty photo kinda blurred the red and black together. Last edited by TyLeR3397 on Thu May 24, 2012 11:38 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Re-chromed the trims around the car today, doesn't look so "dirty" anymore. The car is dirty though, but somehow still looks freshly polished in photos..
As you can see the fairmont looks 1 trillion times better than my dads VT haha Last edited by TyLeR3397 on Wed Jul 10, 2019 12:20 am, edited 1 time in total. |

I think it was FordFairmont who posted this on here somewhere, I was like "it's worth a shot".. It is almost a perfect fit around the trim, only like about 1mm too short in width around the door trims, you simply use wax/grease remover first then steadily go along and apply the tape (use a razor blade to trim the excess off). You will notice it isn't the real strip if you come at it with a magnifying glass, but from >1m away it looks 100% legit. |
