Progress Report

Hello all.

 

I have decided to start a thread about my much loved 2002 Mk2 Galaxy 2.3 Zetec.

 

I bought the car with a few interior modifications that I'll list below and have done a few bits to it since I got it.

 

Body:

Standard at the moment but I have found a little rust on the O/S/R where the arch meets the sill. I have this booked into the body shop next month to be repaired but am thinking of having the black bumper and door strips colour coded along with the door and boot handle. Also need to replace the ford badges at some point and am toying with the idea of fitting some front bumper corner skirts, side skirts and doing something with the rear bumper although not sure what yet. I would also like to strip the headlights down and paint the insides black if this is possible.

 

Wheels & Tyres:

Standard wheels at the moment running 205/55x16 Winter tyres. I would like to leave the winter tyres on these rims and fit a set of 18" Audi wheels with 235/45x18 tyres if I can find some at the right price. (Really cheep or free) ;)

 

Suspension:

Again standard but if I fit 18's, I will be lowering by 60mm with a set of springs.

 

Ice:

Eonon D3103 drop down 15" DVD player for the rear passengers

Sony Xplod Bluetooth Head unit that links to my Samsung Galaxy S2 that holds all my music and also allows me to streem music directly into the car using Sound Cloud.

Blaupunkt CMS 266 Active twin 8" Subwoofer

 

I have recently had the 2 front suspension top mounts and the O/S/F wheel bearing replaced which has made a huge difference to the car.

 

Air conditioning needs looking at due to not working. the compressor was replaced 2 years ago and re gassed so need to have a proper look.

 

Parking sensors not working. This could be due to the way the twin electrics on the towbar sit but will test the sensors individually as and when I get some time.

 

Have been having a problem with the Eonon DVD player which a friend of mine is fixing for me at the moment so currently got the head lining out (pig of a job) and have only just got the Blaupunkt sub so will be wiring that in at the same time as I refit the interior of the car.

 

I will be back here with further updates as and when more work is done to the car. I love this car and it is the 1st car I have paid almost the going price for ever so I intend to keep this car in the best possible condition it can be!! :)

Hi mate,

 

Sounds like a great project and a great galaxy to boot.

 

I will be watching this thread to see how you get on..

 

Enjoy...

 

P.S- I have the same problem with the A/C and the display flashes on the C/C if you have that on your model?
