Cheers Richy, I think it's gona be a bugger to look after though lol

Gona try pop up the weekend and scribe in one of me spare dash boards and get it perfect before I copy it onto my flocked dash, scarey bit.

Also bolt in the seat side frames as Ive got all the bolts for um now.

Maybe also bolt on the front callipers see how the fit is under the wheels.

Nice that I can start to do jobs on it here and there now, collected me perspex windows from the loft last weeks and in storage one of the sliders has snapped a small bit off, need some one with a router table to get another sorted.

Can you tell I'm off work bored today? lol will post pics of the future slow progress lol

[jonny s2]

looking tough bud, did you sell the mtx box in the end or keep it??

[Minirotty]

Kept it mate, I only ended up selling the t/b's and ECU

also the dry sump to me mate who races in the blue oval series but on the condition when hes done with it I will have it back as he is moving onto Duratec eventualy.

[jonny s2]

no worries mate, was looking for an upgrade for my 300ish s2 and wasnt sure what you were doing, think i needed a rod change one, but hope you see this through mate as yo can see how much greif has gone into building it, love maxis they look tough

[Minirotty]

You using MTX75 then Jonny? I know Jano does the convertion kit for it.

You could get a new diff from quaiffe for around Ł550 mate and Bara Motorsport built my box up for a resonable price, cant wate to use it just to see how it puts the power down in the corners.

Cheers as well, I hope I can stick with it even if it takes a while

[jonny s2]

im planning on it, as im not sure how long my big bearing box will last

interested in the mtx conversion as its the only way forward, who are bara?? pm me some contact details if you like, i will look into it.i really do hope you finish it pal, i understand other things in life get in the way and its not so easy to just concentrate on one thing, so just nice and easy

[Minirotty]

I'll send you details now bud

[jonny s2]

cheers dude much appreciated

[Minirotty]

Few people have mentioned that, you think it will sweat? the lock up is freezing thats why I thought it would be OK also when at the ford historic museum this year I saw that this is how they dust cover all there cars.

I'll go up the weekend and get some cotton? sheets on it instead.

[mrjenrst]

that looks mint

[Minirotty]

Chears Cheach mate, don't when I'll bother working on this again though tbh as I had the lock up burgalled couple of months ago, did another thread on it here some where.

Landlord has made promises to knock down our lock up in the spring and errect a new steel unit etc, not to sure how secure his gesture is and if it'll happen but we'll see.

Car is moved now untill I know what's going on etc.

[Spammage]

Shame about the burglary. Fucking scumbags outhere! The shell's lookin awesome can't wait to see this finished! keep up the good work!

[Minirotty]

Thanks Spam bud, I'm sure I'll plod on with it at some point mate

[Tazzie]

Are you going to run the original back axle or the MAXI style back axle?


regards Roy

[Minirotty]

Hello Roy, I will be runing this one eventualy along side a bladed ARB.

[Steve the Plumber]

What a great project, and looks really good too!

Keep at it!!

[Tazzie]

That is indeed the one i was revering 2.
We have one here in Holland who is running that back axle on a street car.
He needed to modify his complete rear body to get some wheels to fit
Now he is using cossie rear arches on his car whit escos wheels.
Fills nicely but it needs to get a bit lower as it is a grasshopper now.

regards Roy

Yer Andy aka Freakpower told me about him selling a couple.

On a road car you'll need to maybe remove rear spare wheel well but defo modify chasis to run a ARB and drop links to the beam also move the fuel tank.

If he chose to run escos ofset rims that'll be why he has had to change/modify rear quaters.

You runing/building a Maxi bud?

Thanks Steve, sorry missed your reply before

[Tazzie]

Nope, don't have the cash to do so.
Just own a Escort F1 edition and at the moment scoring parts to build a RS2300
Found me a rather mint mk5 shell from 1990 and going to build it like a RS2300.

cheers Roy

[Tazzie]

Up lock up today with Sam and kane to move all stuff due to landlord knocking most of it down to build new units.

he did say they were going to be steel fab lock up's but he changes his mind like the wind and today started talking about something else, god knows but we'll see.
