I begin to wonder if i should actually but i can't afford another cossie and i so deeply want to drive something else than a diesel Focus and Sierra DOHC soon.

@1cosworth: Well, a holiday in Greece would be nice

I guess you cover the trip costs for me and my gf? lol

whittyscossy · 23-02-2010, 12:06 PM

looks fantastic

RS-Stian · 28-02-2010, 02:35 PM

During the weekend i've mounted almost everything around the bottom-end. Really looking forward to receive the head back now so i can start getting the whole engine done.

whittyscossy · 28-02-2010, 05:22 PM

Looks very gd m8,

DaveCrack · 01-03-2010, 11:03 AM

Lookin really good! This is gonna be one of the nicest Saphs!!!

H7 CYA · 01-03-2010, 11:04 AM

That is absolutely stunning, Cant wait to see it all finished

cossiejsy · 01-03-2010, 11:22 AM

looking excellent mate

fezzajsy · 01-03-2010, 03:06 PM

MARCOSWORTH · 01-03-2010, 04:08 PM

Almost there

Rs_Nick · 01-03-2010, 05:11 PM

Looks verry good!

Liked it by my also to paint the engine and build togheter! Good job

Also another question, i've got the alu plate from nomad. But how do you fit it? I thougt there were clips on ut but it isnt.

Cheers Nick

RS-Stian · 01-03-2010, 09:24 PM

Cheers to all, much appreciated guys

@Nick: Have you got any gauges yet? If not, you'll easily see how it's fitted to the dash when you got them. The holders/brackets to the gauges makes the plate and gauges fit nice into the dash and hold them there.

krzoska82 · 05-03-2010, 04:01 PM

great work m8 this car is coming along really well apart from the engine bay freshen up wot else is this car gonna b pampered with

RS-Stian · 05-03-2010, 10:33 PM

Cheers mate. Well, when the bay is finished i'm gonna paint all the plastic around the car and buy a set of nice wheels for it. Next winter i will probably start on the interior even though it's in good shape. Fix the head lining, clean all the seats properly and build up new foams for the front Recaro's etc.

Finally got the head back today, pics will come during the weekend

RS-Stian · 07-03-2010, 06:43 PM

The head is finally on top of the block, really satisfied with how the whole engine looks now. Gave it a few coats of hi-temp silver laquer on friday and let it dry until today, much easier to hold the parts nice and clean when they are laquered.

Mike Kerbey · 07-03-2010, 07:21 PM

look good. Im aiming for my engine to look very similar, going to paint everything up nicely

krzoska82 · 08-03-2010, 04:50 PM

DaveCrack · 08-03-2010, 04:55 PM

Perfect in every detail!!

fezzajsy · 08-03-2010, 05:02 PM

sweet

MARCOSWORTH · 08-03-2010, 05:04 PM

Cant wait to see the end result Stian

RS-Stian · 14-03-2010, 08:37 PM

Time for an update now. Feel i've been very productive the last days and got alot of things done. Really pleased with how things looks, so i'm in a good mood now. The head is mounted properly, cams, inlet and manifold in place. The manifold is painted with a hi-temp lacquer from Bill Hirsch which is rated to withstand temperatures up to 980 degrees. Gonna be interesting to see how long it will last.

The steering rack has also been painted, got new solid bushes and mounted onto the cross-member.

And of course, anodized power steering pipes

The turbo was delivered for a rebuild with 360 bearings earlier this week, looking forward to receive it back and continue mounting together the engine.

fezzajsy · 14-03-2010, 08:42 PM
