by **staunchxr** » February 23rd, 2013, 7:34 pm

whats it need mechanically
?

by **wombi90** » February 23rd, 2013, 7:51 pm

Flywheel tightened, new tailshaft has a vibration when driving? I'm guessing its one of the those things and someone suggested thrust race bearing so ill do that aswell and probably a service, rear guards were pretty caked in rubber aswell, few cosmetic things no guard liners no air intake snorkel

Haha I need to buy some more spacers first so I'm picking some up with the bonnet Monday night

by **DJV8T5** » February 24th, 2013, 3:24 pm

I got a tail shaft out of an EF manual sedan if you want one to try? Shame about the Simmons mate, but I think the GT's give it a cleaner look. The Rebel's still look tough on it though.

by **wombi90** » February 24th, 2013, 3:33 pm

I've got a few spares here parts are no problem, just have to do the labour, i just dont want to fix everything then end up stripping it anyway, but these help

by **wombi90** » February 24th, 2013, 3:37 pm

Yeah I like both ba gt's and rebels so I'm not to disappointed by the Simmons

by **wombi90** » February 25th, 2013, 9:01 pm

Any interest in parts from the ef? Start pm'ing me if you are considering stripping it

by **DJV8T5** » February 26th, 2013, 8:54 am

looks like a nice bit of gear you picked up, will certainly make a few things easier, sometimes cordless is better than air

by **wombi90** » February 26th, 2013, 10:17 am

Yeah cordless is better for what I wanted because I don't always have access to a compressor

flashin the cash! i love cordless tools as being a mobile mechanic makes life so much easier, we use sp 3/8 rattle guns and chicago peunmatic 1/2 guns. best invention in the world

by **wombi90** » February 27th, 2013, 12:22 am

Haha yeah cordless is the way to go I just got back from picking up a intake from Scott (brockb8) and the replacement bonnet did the ef so Ill fit the intake tomorrow and trial fit the bulge bonnet on this in the weekend

by **wombi90** » February 27th, 2013, 6:44 pm

Doesn't take much staunch yours was probably a better base then this just time money and hard work haha here's a before and after I've owned it roughly a year now

by **wombi90** » February 28th, 2013, 8:27 pm

Gave my bay a bit of a clean I've got one of the coolant bottle delete kits on the way so ill take that out aswell, I need to fix up the sound deadner on the fire wall near the extractors, thinking about getting the bbm painted black in a matte/satin finish

by **staunchxr** » February 28th, 2013, 9:06 pm

Same mines ratty aswell mate I was thinking some of that
Heat shield looks cool and painting the bbm will look sick.

Big transformation mate it all takes time but you have got there now

by **wombi90** » February 28th, 2013, 9:13 pm

Cheers, I was thinking of cutting some of the black sound pad shut if something else and trying to patch it up just gotta make it look neat

by **wombi90** » March 1st, 2013, 9:21 pm

by **SLO4LT** » March 3rd, 2013, 7:26 pm

by **wombi90** » March 4th, 2013, 9:59 pm

Went and picked up the tyres for the rebels tonight and the sunset looked cool so I grabbed a pic

by **staunchxr** » March 4th, 2013, 10:07 pm

Fvck i love fords man they just look so good close to stock
just nice wheels lowered and real clean. Ford / tickford
were on the ball back in the 90's love e series.

As said before love it mate once its backing a turbo
will be the ultimate package :good:

by **braad** » March 5th, 2013, 6:20 am

Looking good mate

by **wombi90** » March 5th, 2013, 7:42 am

Cheers guys,
I'd love to turbo it but then I think b-series turbos are pretty cheap these days but then it wouldn't be as cool as an e series, I've still got two years of n/a fun to have before I touch boost anyway

by **braad** » March 5th, 2013, 8:17 am

B-series over E-series? Dont be daft, keep your soul

by **staunchxr** » March 5th, 2013, 8:44 am

yeah womb come on mate we have all had those thoughts.
ahh but i can buy a ba / bf xr6turbo for well under 10 now
but you have to think these tickfords are going to be worth
something millions of people love them hold onto her :good:

cheers love ya work
