You could use that money for performance parts. It all depends on what your plans for the car are though. If you want a turbo, maybe you could just use this car to get you around until you can save money for a turbo model. Good luck with whatever your plans are -------------------- Who says a grocery getter cant be fast? www.zeroyon.com Davor-TX5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 10 Member No.: 2821 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Mar 5 2005, 08:24 PM hmm, no i want to keep this car... and dont wanna have to respray the whole car coz of the badges.. just taught i could fill the holes and touch up paint it.. but .. bah, dont think so now, chaserguy Newbie Group: Members Posts: 26 Member No.: 2798 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Mar 5 2005, 08:29 PM you could do that, but it wouldnt look as clean as if you re-sprayed the whole car. i'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my car, so I didnt even think of that as a possiblity. for my first car, Im sure I would of done that though, and Im sure it would look fine. You have to remember that its your car, and you need to do what you want to it. Its all about making yourself happy with your car, no matter what anyone else says! -------------------- Who says a grocery getter cant be fast? www.zeroyon.com turbo_boy Newbie Group: Members Posts: 40 Member No.: 512 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Mar 6 2005, 12:58 PM If u wanna take off ur badges at the back, make sure u get the holes welded not bogged, caus it goes shithouse after a couple of months. i got my boot done for $240 including the spray and welding of all the holes had a few extra caus of removed spoiler. goodluck EVLTX5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 36 Member No.: 1113 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Mar 7 2005, 10:18 AM What badges are we talking about here?? Telstar badge on the upper boot lid? Ive got a tx5 turbo, and there are no holes in the boot from the badge? either does sabbai's boot........ cheers evltx5 SABBAi Regular Poster Group: Members Posts: 131 Member No.: 918 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Mar 7 2005, 11:50 AM The only badge that will have a hole behind it, on your, will be the ford badge on the grill. It's easy to remove them. Let me finish my write up, and I'll let you know. Davor-TX5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 10 Member No.: 2821 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Mar 7 2005, 05:09 PM thx for the reply's. i was thinking all the badges on the back.. the front is fine for now, later on might just cut the middle and chuck a grill on, if thats the way to do it, hehe. So r u's sure none of the badges on the boot will have holes? (even the Ghia on the red light) i reacon the "Telstar TX5" would have holes.. and how could i fill the holes up, wer i took the wires out (the trailer light plug thing, lol) it left holes, not a big deal but meh... the plate wont cover it. anyway, it's gettin registred on wed, cant wait thats why i just wanna rip stuff off it. chaserguy Newbie Group: Members Posts: 26 Member No.: 2798 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Mar 7 2005, 07:13 PM If you are just taking the badges off the trunk(boot, i have to get used to that) lid then you could just fill the holes with bondo and do a re-spray of the trunk lid. Or if you wanted, you could just sand the whole car and paint it flat black. That is getting popular these days, would look more like a drift machine then! -------------------- Who says a grocery getter cant be fast? www.zeroyon.com Davor-TX5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 10 Member No.: 2821 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Mar 7 2005, 07:51 PM hmm, yeh. all black sounds good, but nah, nothing big for now, i just got the car, i'll just drive it how it is. these guys reacon there is no holes tho. o well, i'll find out later, hehe. Texy_5 Occasional Poster Group: Members Posts: 50 Member No.: 2675 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Mar 7 2005, 08:42 PM hey nice car, just a note on bogging of the holes if there are any i saw a black tx5 turbo with the badges removed and the holes bogged up. and it looked s**t, alright from a distance but don't go close. The badges on the side if you have them dont have any holes i found that out when i was measuring a CAI (yet to be done). good luck with them anyway.
