Came across these gems from last year, jaysus I miss both of those yokes so much

Last year!! If you took that with an old camera it would fool anyone into thinking it was from the 80's! Cars dont look their age either.

Hey both my build threads were made with a bridge camera :P

where are these build threads... I am fairly recent here, so I am not sure if they are on this forum or other forums in Boards...

Go back to the motoring forum, 1 below motors, then go into Projects and Builds. Some great reading in his two threads!

A neighbour had his charade stolen when it was 2 or 3 years old. Was found a few weeks later in immaculate condition, valeted and polished. And a new sound system in it. He was delighted!

Just landed home from Roscommon there this evening, 170 odd kms and not missed a beat. I've just bought it btw.

Apologies

Cheers. Yeah it's one of only a few I'd imagine. She came from England originally. This is my attempt at branching off from the BMC tin for a while.

You need to upload it to a website first:

That site is good. And make sure the photos aren't massive too....but if they are you can just post a link instead of the photo.

Picked up my new motor today.
Very happy with it, took it back to Mayo, so had a good distance to get to drive it.

BobbyPropane · 28-02-2015 12:11AM

Loving the colour

Hal1 · 28-02-2015 01:00AM

Looks very nice indeed, well wear.

mhackett102 · 28-02-2015 01:17AM

Finally able to upload photos

Here's my car, but I kinda want a change.. Either a new car or just some changes to this one?

The two pictures shown are when its after being cleaned and then 3 days later.. Washing it this weekend will be a disaster so can anyone recommend a good product I can use?

Dia1988 · 28-02-2015 01:33AM

Perhaps you can facelift your Mondeo by adding a chrome bezel around the perimeter of the lower bumper grill and add daylight running LED's just above the foglights.

Otherwise looks pretty well kept to me

See this pic as an example

Cass · 28-02-2015 01:40AM

@ Yop - That is gorgeous. Absolute stunner of a car. Had the chance to test one once, and loved it.

Very best of luck with it.

Get the learner off it anyway for starters :P

Is it an econetec? The spoiler and alloys suggest that. You could change the alloys to 17s or 18s, maybe chrome under the windows like in the titanium. Drls wont work really, retro fitted ones look crap. You could change the 2 front grilles to the silver titanium ones if you wanted.

Just the zetec version - I got new alloys and put the spoiler on it after I got it

Was considering putting on the 18" titanium alloys and fitting Ford coilovers.. Opinions?

The snowflake ones is it? They're quite expensive and kerb like hell. I wouldn't be gone on the coilover idea really.

Supergurrier · 28-02-2015 06:50PM

Think I saw your new car today Yop in galway on tuam rd around midday.

I was the depressed looking fella in the Isuzu NPR

Im still having different ideas (both crazy and sensible ideas!) but I came across this online ( http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/uploads/profile/photo-41091.jpg?_r=1361464390 )

I like the car alot, and its rare to see one in the Red.. But I think I change may be needed:pac:

Sorry about the yappin no snappin people, maybe all this should be moved to the chat thread?

I don't think that mondeo is lowered, it's a tit x sport, so has side skirts all around, thus making it appear lower. It appears better to yours due to the chrome on the window sills, and the slight blue tint that titanium glass has.

Still looks lower around the arches, but maybe its just the kit thats on it! I know that there are coilovers / lowering suspension available from Ford themselves to be used on Mondeo's.

Sold the dc2.
2 Months Viewing and 100's€ wasted Looking at poor standards of dc5s.
Finally baught this

Needs a clean and raised up, and few other small bits

someone linked a site a while back for Japanese imports, anyone know what site it was again?

What engine is in the V40 Arnold? Had a 2.0 16v 138 bhp there a few weeks ago, lovely thing to drive

How do you find the DC5 compared to DC2? 5 supposedly has more comfort features and heavier bigger engine but supposedly both are as fast as each other.
