FFAY - My Build Thread.

Ok, I'm gonna start keeping track of this now. It's not alot for the time being, but I've got some plans and high hopes for the future.

I bought off Mugly, admin of the Edition forums, from Lichfield and she looked like this.


When I got her home she looked like this.



She was over heating like a slapper on crack so on a closer investigation; ya know the bracket that holds the fan belt tensioned? Well, the bolt on the engine side of this bracket was missing. God knows how no one noticed it!

Anyway, after an hour or so sorting through the thousands of bits and bobs in the garage, I found myself with a suitable bolt to keep her ticking.

So, I took her to work and showed off what I'd got to the apprentice…

And yes, I had the sunroof open. It seemed to let less water in that way :] hahaha

Next, I raced up to Leicester to meet a really really safe guy called Hussein  who sold me some old style ATS Cups for a few notes.
They looked like this.



The following day I smuggled them into work and got busy in the grit blaster.


Then I masked them.


And Painted…



I'm quite happy with them.

Whilst waiting for the lacquer to dry, I fitted some crosshair headlights to replace what looked like a pair of shooting range targets on the front of Ffay.


Now with the ATS




Pretty decent set to get me over winter and until my daily is back on the road. Then I can get to work on stripping her and sorting out the stance. Controversial plans on stance ;]

So there we have it, for now

Any comments/improvements/hints/trickery/tips/links or whatever are welcomed and encouraged!

Lee + Ffay

I reckon oneof the things that look good on those is the GTI chin spoiler..

which, yours had… but you… got… rid of?

I didn't ged rid of it mate… haha
The drive way thought it would look better without.
Tbh, I prefer it without. Need to get rid of those bolts though

Looks like a good rust free example, nice car.

cars mint dude.. cups look good i should of saved them for my caddy :roll:

If it aint the big H! haha
How's it going??
The overheating problem has gone away now, big big big thanks to yourself :]

I've spotted a set of Fuchs on the net I've got my eye on. They don't look too clever just yet, but they could look stunning on the car for next summer after a tidy up

Anyone selling adapters?? ;]

no worries dude

im good m8 yourself??

id kill for a set of fuch

Yeah, not so bad thanks. Just got in from giving ffay some tlc and a new tyre.
One of them on the ats blew last week, but all's good now.

How's the motor coming along H?
