Any news Stian?

RS-Stian · 31-03-2010, 06:22 PM

Been really quiet here, waiting for some parts to arrive from painting such as the cam pulleys. As soon as they are back i can go on and finish off the engine. Got the turbo back a couple of weeks ago and got it mounted right away, just waiting for the compressor house to come back from paiting as well.

During easter i will probably get some work done on the car and get it ready for the engine to be lifted in.

DaveCrack · 31-03-2010, 08:59 PM

Nice! Really looking forward to seeing yours complete!

Kverna · 04-04-2010, 09:56 PM

Just read the whole thread(again :P )

Stunning work, just stunning

RS-Stian · 05-04-2010, 05:35 PM

Cheers mates

Well, here's a little update. Haven't done so much but a few details has fallen into place and everything is now ready for the engine to be lifted in. Here is a few pics of how the status is today.

Overhauled T3 turbo with 360 bearings fitted.

I finally found a decent cover that fits above the heater blower, and with that in place i could suddenly sort out more of the wiring loom.

Mike Kerbey · 05-04-2010, 10:03 PM

great work, top job your doing!

MARCOSWORTH · 06-04-2010, 08:35 PM

Get that engine in mate, can't wait to see the endresult

Devon · 17-04-2010, 11:43 PM

Hi

Been googling for info about restoring cossies and came across your thread, found it really interesting following your journey.

I have a question, did you powder-coat your diff and gear box, if you did, did you strip them down first. I appreciate this maybe a stupid question but I never seen you mention it in your updates.

Keep up the great work.

RS-Stian · 18-04-2010, 05:13 PM

@Devon: The diff, gearbox and fuel tank are not powdercoated, only primed and painted with two-component lacquer.

Gonna pick up a brand new back bumper and grille next week, all the plastic parts will then be painted pretty soon

fezzajsy · 29-04-2010, 08:39 PM

updates?

RS-Stian · 29-04-2010, 09:19 PM

Updates and pics will come during the weekend. Received the parts back from the powdercoaters today so finally i can finish off the engine. Delivered all the plastics to the painters on Monday, gonna pick up the lot next week. Really looking forward to work on the car now, been changing brakes on three other Fords last week so it's gonna be fun start working on the good old cossie again

MARCOSWORTH · 30-04-2010, 07:33 AM

Looking forward Stian

fezzajsy · 30-04-2010, 09:59 AM

MONSTER · 30-04-2010, 10:15 AM

Awesome work Stian, I'm impressed

I hope the Saff I'm doing turns out like yours

CossieGirl · 30-04-2010, 10:26 AM

Looking forward to the new pics

RS-Stian · 02-05-2010, 06:33 PM

Cheers boys and girls, much appreciated

Here's a small update again. Received the remaining parts back from the powdercoater on Thursday and used Friday evening mounting a few bits together. The plan was to time the engine and lift it into the car today but noticed that I miss one small fucking woodruff key for the inlet cam pulley

Latch assy and IC plate mounted.

And the car can finally steer again, woohoo! On the right you can see the new fuel lines i have mounted.

Cam pulleys, turbo compressor housing, rocker cover and plug leads in place.

Really satisfied with the finish on the rocker cover.

-31 wastegate actuator mounted.

sapph1 · 02-05-2010, 07:45 PM

Looks fantastic!!!

Love the finish on the rocker cover, do you intend to use the car when its finished or will it be purely for show?

Looks too good to use!!

RSRoy · 03-05-2010, 07:15 AM

Very tidy

Kverna · 03-05-2010, 09:11 AM

This car will be used at track, street and shows

fezzajsy · 03-05-2010, 11:24 AM

RS-Stian · 08-05-2010, 09:56 AM

Many thanks for all the nice and warm comments, means alot to me.

The car will be used even though it's gonna be a pain in the arse to take it out for the very first ride. Received all parts back from the painters on Wednesday and have fitted a few parts already, pics will come during the weekend. Stay tuned

fezzajsy · 08-05-2010, 10:07 AM

Rs_Nick · 10-05-2010, 05:22 PM

Nice work! You're making it better then a new one

RS-Stian · 11-05-2010, 10:07 PM

Here comes the pics i promised you from the last weekend. Bumpers and side skirts are now fitted.

Side skirt clips from CDF Racing was a fantastic piece of kit, really pleased with how they are fitted now, nice and straight.

Today i wanted to fit my new genuine mud flaps for the front and rears.

They even came with fitting instructions

Had to cut and form it around the skirt at the front but in the end i think it came out really good.

Bloomers · 11-05-2010, 10:35 PM

She really is a thing of beauty, mate

RSRoy · 12-05-2010, 07:14 AM

Soooo damn sexy

Arne · 12-05-2010, 01:06 PM

Fantastic Stian. Guaranteed the nicest 2wd sierra cosworth in Norway. Im soo looking forward to see this live this year!!!!
