well fort id start anuff project , after brakin the fiesta and sellin up it was time to move on , got my self a civic and before long it had to go so heres how it started

in jan my dad offered me a new car for free if i went and got it from his mates garage were it was takin up room for the last 2 years , being carless at the time i fort nice something i could run about it get it tax and mot'ed then sell it

got there to find this on the drive all ready for me to take
:









as you can see from the pics its not to bad, no rust not even on the underside and always kept in a garge , so i got it home gave it a quick check over and then it was time for MOT , took it down exspecting the worse from a free car , when i come back to find it had passed not only had it passed the advisry sheet was non exsistant , no rust no fucked bushs ect ect !

So thats how it stayed for a bit till AlanS1 kindly helped me out with some parts on trade of painting his engine bay and inside of this car and rollcage ,

so after fittin some cossie seats front bumper mondeo rims and lowering it this is how it was







agen for a while thats how it stayed till i had time to paint the bumper tuch things up and sort out some little bits ,

it made it to central day lookin like this



bumper was still tacky so didnt put the plate on proply had to put it on the splitter

any heres how she sits atm





now here were things get intresting ,
took her out this morning to go pick up my mum when she spat her dummpy out and snapped the cam belt as well as puttin oil all over the bay !! wasnt to bothered tho got it home striped it down and now shes left out the front with just the bottom end in ( rain stopped play today )

so as soon as i get the pinto bottom end out , i can start puttin in some new bits , engine brakes new springs shocks ect

heres a cople of pics of the engine all built up ready to go in but using a diffrent inlet agen just gotta go get it back from the fabricetrs






its just a cheap build it it all gose well then i will get proper pistions and rods proper gear box and go from there

let me no what ya think , all coments welcome any advise welcome to

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

how close to the bulk head is that T3!!! LOL


whats gotta be done, you chopping the bulk??

mikee_rs

looking good luke

luke89

iTrader: (1)

thanks for the comments ,
rad yep big angle grinder out eather sunday or in the week and cut out loads of it lol then get some sheet metal and make my own about 9" back maby more depending on wats behind ect ect lol but the turbo in 1cm away from the bat tray so moved the bat to the boot and will remove the tray ahh the joys on bein a painter and not havin to worry about cutting things up and painin it agen lol

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

Damn right!

zippyobrien

iTrader: (2)

i said the sane thing about the turbo, but then he pionted out that the thermostat has still gotta go on the back of the engine

in an ideal world, the turbo should have been moe further foward when luke made the manifold extension pipe,


so were gunna box out the bulk head, and seeing as weve gotta make a loom any way, i fancy having a go at tring to get all of the loom cumming ostright out behind the engine and bringing the wires up sort of under the enigne if that makes sence,

so there should be hardly any loom on show

and think luke wants to do a full bay flush and smooth the inner wings

so will be getting busy with the welder and smoother,

i reckon i could have made the wagon move quicker than the old engine, loool,

tbh, easyest engine ever to pull out, took just over 2 hours


nice update mate, hopefully get a bit more done on sunday after japfest

luke89

iTrader: (1)

UP date agen , wont be workin on the car for about a week got bottled last nite and had to have me head glued back together so cant really lean dwn or it feels like it will pop lol

wrightygtt

nice project , i think i saw your car a couple of weeks back, I was driving a red 5 gtt (but am on the look out for a sierra 4wd cosworth.) in tilehurst?

All the best with it.

luke89

iTrader: (1)

wrightygtt yeah think u did acculy mate i work down autodex so was prob on my way home , i always wanted a r5gtt u should sell me yours if you get a cossie lol

zippyobrien

iTrader: (2)

wrightygtt

is yours the one with the side exit,

fucking beautifull car if it is

shitter bout your head dude, but still,
today was mega lol,

wrightygtt

yes red with a side exit, thats the one mate, its a good little runner around, which iv'e had for 4 yrs, restored, reliable, probably just jinxed it though.
My old man used to paint at Auto dex for a bit (Nigel Wright) now we do mobile body repairs.

What are you gonna use the sierra for, strip, track, not to clued up on these engines, what sort of power are you going for?

zippyobrien

iTrader: (2)

you r5 is gorgouse,

im only local as well, work alot down by auto dex to,
i think he wants to use it as his road car lol,

what spec is your r5?

wrightygtt

cheers

5's standard at the minute bar a front mount, avo coilovers, but its going in for a carb service/ fuelling set up and to have the boost upped to 16 psi week after, nothing special but will be quick enough as said i use it as more of a stripped out run around.


keep up the good work....

luke89

iTrader: (1)

thanks mate the engine should be 250ish bhp dont really wanna push it lol, its only till i get a better spec one built and have time and money to get proper gear box diff brakes ect ect , fair play to your dad autodex is wank lol as for your r5 its mint
