all im hearing is excuses lol

xr4x4rs · 19-05-2009, 01:19 AM

rite time for a little update

ive finally moved into my flat now so decided to do some work on the car but thisis as far as i got as im saving for a bike at the minute, so may not be able to do anything until another 3 weeks now

but anyhow, i need to take my wings off as i want to go the wrc route

so heres some pics of the ings being taken off lol

first sand the paint down to see the spot welds

what i did here was i drilled straight through as i wanted them to bolt back on, so i could just put the bolts back into the top and hopefully they will lineup as they should for bonnet cgaps, thouugh under the sidelight im going ot have to have make new holes as the wings will be stretched that much ive heard

then i sanded down the 2 bits of weld at the back of the wing and lower half that was attched to the sill and undone 2 bolts the wings came off lovely

and was surprised to see no rot underneath them either

how the car stands now with no wings on it

and i had these arrive aswell

the next job to do is change the front crossmember with a new one as the previous owner had crushed it by towing it up onto a trailer in the middle !! ford still do these, so may get this done asap now

then i just need to order my rear brakes and get the car rolling and it will be off to have the rear arches sorted for the new wheels i want under there

but thats it for now, but ill be back on it very very soon as id like ot get it finished by the end of the year

Twellsie · 19-05-2009, 07:47 AM

looking good Rich

SO COSSIE · 20-06-2009, 09:52 PM

Looking good Rich, just don't get too involved with those wings eh

xr4x4rs · 07-08-2009, 12:41 AM

little update

ive got my wrc wings back now, also ordered my wheels and tyres, i have my tyres but wheels are still being made so hopefully not too long

anyhow some quick pics

how wide the wrc wing is

bonnet, headlights and grill in to get gaps correct, also skirts fitted and job was a good un

oh and a pic of my rear tyre, if you havnt guessed from the size there going to be 10x18s on the back with 265 tyres and 9x18s at the front with 235 tyres

next is to get the wheels and widen the rear quarters, then get it ready for paint

fezzajsy · 07-08-2009, 12:45 AM

xrmalin · 08-08-2009, 11:16 AM

xr4x4rs · 29-08-2009, 04:22 AM

time for a little update as i managed to get a few days on the car

the main thing i wanted to do was make a crossmember as my one had been crushed at some point, these are £250 new if you can get one, so i went about and made one which was removeable to allow access for easy engine changes and also bigger intercooler

ok old crossmeber removed, as you can see it was pretty crushed, that much that when i cut through it the chassis leg moved back to its original position by at least quarter inch lol

big hole, also trimmed the headlight panels to open the gap up but to make them flush with teh chassis legs aswell

the new crossmember made from 2mm thick box section

i made some plates on the ends and welded captives to them, but forgot to take a pic, so this is where it bolts up and the finished end with the captives and when i tacked the crossmember to teh new plates

next was the towing eye

cleaned up

welded into postion, both sides

and to make sure it fitted i put the bumper back on

then i put strenghtening plates on the front part of the chassis legs for or if it gets towed then it has something to pull against, these are made up of 3mm angle iron

next was to make some bumper adjusters as i didnt have the bolts

the parts needed were theres, 2 bolts, lock nuts and 2 weld nuts

the adjusters

now looking i never took pics of the other steps, so will have to get some

but basically i welded the weld nuts to the square holes as this is the adjuster part

i then drilled the bumper support bracket where they go to allow access to the bigger bolt

then its just a case of bolting it all on, but putiing a lock nut at the top, loose so when you undo it it moves the adjuster and doesnt undeo the lock nut

but there on and they work lol

and on friday i had my wheels turn up and we tried them on a friends saf for a laff to see how wide they are lol

there 9x18s at front and 10x18s at back

andy130 · 29-08-2009, 08:19 PM
