Ripping The Bumper Off The Mondeo ST220

[@doktoruzo]

Sunday afternoon tinkering with old cars...you can't beat it. There was a time, a generation or so ago when you'd see plenty of fellas tinkering with their cars at the weekend. Sadly a dying trend. A lot of the young kids can't even change a wheel or headlight bulb...lol Another great and useful video Martin. Thanks

[@Cupat1]

Mainly because their heads are stuck in a phone and can bearly walk.

[@robertbills4290]

always best to tidy up under the parts where you can't see saves time in the long run on costly repairs. whenever we strip down old cars that are scrap I always keep the screws and bolts etc they always come in useful when someone else has put the wrong parts back in a repair. Great video as always Martin hope you can film Jimmy painting the bumper repair Rob

Good stuff that "Vactan" ,paited some metal garden furniture that lives outside with it years ago still no rust . As you say " Unbelievable "

[@TheDaftApple]

This is a job I need do to mine, I've got to fit the foam inserts because the bumpers sagging so this video is gonna help me get the bumper off so cheers Mart. Hope all is well mate.

[@retrorestore]

Cheers Bud.

I felt myself getting the urge to clean those exhaust tips lol while the bumper was off lol

[@retrorestore]

They will get cleaned before it all goes back on.

Best to cover post with pipe lagging Martin, that way the next time you hit it you won't need Jimmy!!!🤭 Great video by the way. 🤣😂😅

[@neilaaitchison4473]

Fantastic video Martin. See If you hadnt of reversed into the post you would never of found the rust and protected it with vactan and hamerite. Things do happen for a reason maybe.be nice to see the bumper all sprayed up and back on .your mondeo is mint love it .

[@aidanmcfarlane7891]

Another good job Martin

[@MrJozza65]

I loved it when interior trim parts had actual screws, rather than the bazillion impossible to locate clips that you get in newer cars

[@DiecastPowderCoating]

I did enjoy that video Martin. Isn't it great when things go to plan. Take care

[@chasmcl42]

Nice one Martin, ill be watching your next video from Majorca 🌞🌞🌞😀

[@retrorestore]

Have fun Charles.

[@dalethomas360]

Love seeing the jobs on the ST. Keep em coming. 😁 Will be laying my ST Derv up this November and stripping it back for a steady restore, over about a year to keep me busy on weekends, with a bit of Trojan playing in the background. Your vids give me the little tips and nudges in the right direction 👍

[@retrorestore]

Nice one Dale.

[@kylereese4822]

I've had a look underneath my car and only the back bumper stay if that's what you call is a bit rusty but not bad for 17 yrs old.

[@andycousins5016]

Hi Burt good job how do u find out the paint code to colour Mach the paint ta

[@retrorestore]

The paint factors mix the paint according to the colour of the car, Performance Blue in this case.

[@powerpower1797]

Good video.

Thanks!

[@jasonhobbs5611]

Nice job Martin, I think I'll have my bumpers and side skirts off my focus st and my mrs zafira gsi this summer. I have a quick question, I've bought a 2013 Yamaha Neos easy 50cc and the exhaust has another pipe coming off that goes to a rubber pipe which disappears under the seat. I think its something to do with emissions. Can this be deleted to run a sports exhaust system 🤔 any help will be appreciated 🙏 👍

[@retrorestore]

Yes, We just blanked ours off when I did the TGB scooter
