proper job

Cyril Sneer · 24-02-2008, 11:13 PM

This weekend, I wasn't able to do what I planed... First, we had to reposition the shell on the jig, and today I felt really bad so I just finished the guide for the frontaxle and the rear axle is nearly finished...

This week I orders a new cage and the Pro Alloy RS500 intercooler should arrive the upcoming days...

NATH-RSZT · 29-02-2008, 11:32 PM

looking good mate.

Cyril Sneer · 02-03-2008, 10:16 PM

So, after I lost quite a lot of time last weekend, I was able to speed up this weekend... So I finished the centering of the axles an welded everything to jig. Also all important point like stabilisator- gearbox- and beammountings are welded to the jig...

With that, I am able to built in a cossi in nearly every car I want to... It doesn't matter wether I take the floor pan or I weld custom brackets...

Ok, so I took off the roof and the rear part of the shell... I don't need them anymore...

I hope that next weekend I can cut everything so that maybe I can put the shell over the Sierra floor, just to see how everything fits...

That's it... new updates bexte weekend...

Yes it is... but it's worth it

So the Sierra floorpan is ready. I cut away everything I didn't need anymore. We tried to measure out where to place the cuttings. Due tuo the jig, I can place quite exact the cuttings, but I still left a little more metal, just to be sure. Next weekend I will cut out the floorpan of the MK3 and put the shell on the Sierra floor... and then alot of modifying...

But I am quite confident that everything will fit perfectly

... next update soon to come...

Cyril Sneer · 11-03-2008, 02:02 PM

Thanks alot everybody for your comments. That motivates me really and is a reason, why I keep working on it every weekend...

This week, Sim and I gonna send our gearboxes away to build up a complete straight cut gearbox. I hope to get it back in the next 2 weeks.

absolute power handling: 600 hp / 600 Nm

Ratio:
1. gear: 2.7333
2. gear: 1.9231
3. gear: 1.400
4. gear: 1
5. gear: 0.7826

At 7000 rpm and a 3,62 diff, following speed can be theoraticaly reached:

1. gear: 79.48 km/h
2. gear: 112.96 km/h
3. gear: 155.17 km/h
4. gear: 217,26 km/h
5. gear: 277.58 km/h

Sounds good to me

looking good mate, keep it up

mk3cosworth · 11-03-2008, 05:53 PM

whos doing your gearbox

Fiesta_ie · 11-03-2008, 08:59 PM

its gonna fly

Kelv · 11-03-2008, 11:21 PM

your preperational work is outstanding.

fabricating mounts and brackets just to keep the car correctly aligned before you even start fabricating the actual shell for the cossie running gear.

its definatly going to be a car to keep an eye on.

full credit to you mate

Cyril Sneer · 16-03-2008, 11:31 PM

Thanx Kelv...

I hope all the work is worth it

This weekend I did a lot of drilling and cutting... a lot of metal which hast to be romeoved or bended. But in the end, the shell is nearly at it's final position... just a few modification on the rear and front, and then everything should fit perfectly.

I'll keep you up to date...

Cheers

Cyril

some serious stuff u doing m8

BRIGSPORT · 17-03-2008, 10:04 PM

Excellent work,and a very useful thread,as i will be doing the same to my bubble arched mk1 escort.
Are you using the estate rear end though? Is there an advantage,or disadvantage?

Cyril Sneer · 17-03-2008, 10:31 PM

Thanx alot everybody... I appreciate your comments and be sure I keep you always up to date...

@BRIGSPORT

No, I don't take the rear from the estate.
First, the shock-absorbers are at a complette different place, so for those, who wants to take the complete floor pan, should take the 4x4 Sierra/Saphire limousine.

I will make my own custom fixation of the rear axle. The reason for this: It's less work then welding in the complete floor pan (I hope so

)

Nevertheless... Why do you want to weld in the floor from a Sierra in a MK1 Escort? It is already RWD! And to convert it to 4x4, you dont need to weeld anything from the Sierra, there are better and easier solutions...

Cheers

Cyril
