V70r aka Darth Vadar

[Robbin Houses]

Hi People

I thought I'd start a Project thread, its not going to be the quickest project as between the new house, 3 year old and 1year old my money seems to disappear pretty quick!! So the car is always the last to get money spent on it 😭😭

I got my 98 Black V70r for a steal, I swapped my 07 fiesta Zetec s for it and havent looked back since. 154k on the clock and 4 owners from new! Ive had the car about a month now and its in desperate need of a proper clean and polish but due to the weather I havent had the time!! Here it is when I first got it back to my work.



Ive got a list as long as my arm of bits to do..

Abs Tc fault-Looks like its already been resoldered
Handbrake cables sticking
Good clean, Polish & Clay
Front pads & discs -Brake judder
Auto gearbox oil change
Ptc Clean
Parcel Shelf
Wheel refurb

And the fun bits are...

Bsr Air filter & Heat shield
Cat back-looking at a custom one
Coil overs- Not sure on brand yet
New front lamps
Silicone hoses
Front grill- Not sure on mesh or egg crate type
colour coding

Thats just off the top of my head, im sure it will get bigger..

First things I done was debadge and dewiper the rear..






Tinted the front fogs yellow...



Thought Id have a go at respraying the front grill and was pretty impressed with the outcome





Also got myself some Prancing Moose badges and smoked side repeaters... had abit of trouble with the side repeaters as they were so corroded they stopped working after I had changed them. Cleaned up the bulb holder and couple of new wires and they are working fine now. I also fitted some chrome Indicator bulbs.V7pV70r



I did remove the R badges as they were in poor condition so I'll get some new ones when I can find some


Ordered some cheap silicone turbo hoses off the bay that Im pretty impressed with, £46 and they are not too bad...





And thats it so far thanks for looking
