Cheers chaps

Well we got a little bit more done today.

My light weight TTV flywheel

And fitted to the engine

RS Turbo clutch

Completed Engine and Gearbox Build up

I attempted to fit the wing mirrors today and after lots and lots and lots of swearing, they finally made it onto the car

Had a go at crackle black painting my washer bottle as well, dont know of the final outcome as yet, left it all day today in a really warm room and finished spraying the one side I couldnt get too tonight.
It currently looks like this though

Things are moving along very quickly now, I got there this morning to find my engine hanging on the crane and the car pointing up in the air :shock:

Within an hour we was like this 8)

We trial fitted the manifold on to see how much clearance we had

and to be honest doesn't need much modding at all considering it is designed for a focus

Next up we fitted the throttle bodies, fuel rail and regulator :P

We wondered if the strut brace would clear the bodies and lo and behold, it did

It was deemed too normal and restricting to the bodies as it was tight for clearance so it will be cut and a new strut brace designed to run between the head and injectors 8)

Fuel cell re installed with freshly painted bits

Couple of pictures of the Heads up display mounted on the dashboard

Few more pics of the dashboard, one of the front with a few more colour co ordinated bits

and a few of the metalwork behind :shock:

Done a bit more to it today, the wiring has been left until its back on 4 wheels but...............

the rad and fan are in

One custom made strut brace, just needs crackle blacking now

Freshly painted Oil cooler

Porn Horn fitted

Manifold finally finished

Cleaned up a old set of standard lights and hammerited them black, they ve come up surprisingly well

Also fitted the Coilovers today and have started stripping down the brakes to be repainted. The exhaust and brakes will hopefully be on the car when I go up next weekend so it will be a chance to crack on with the wiring

Well the wiring has been started this weekend.

Loom in the process of been made up

Fitted the poly carb windows, what a pain in the ass :?:

refitted the fuel cap in the window as well

The radiator/oil cooler/fan set up

Found a problem with the front end................ or lack of it. I cant mount the standard headlights or indicators as there isnt anything to mount them on/too.

Cutting up a new panel to rectify the problem now

Escort Cossie Calipers and the RS2000 discs

Plan is to now rub the calipers down and hammerite them black, I have the spacers so will be fitting Escort Cossie discs and pads 8)

Most of the weekend was spent doing various bits of wiring, the Emerald ECU is wired and so are the Defi's and switches 8) :shock: 8) :shock: 8) :shock:

New front end evil Look :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
