A lot of work last night to finish the engine off, then "slotted" it into the car at around 12:30am

Spent today fitting everything up, so tomorrow she'll hopefully be fired up and the long 1k running in miles begin

Sorry for pic quality, crap phone

Proper oil breather setup

rst-g · 17-10-2009, 07:40 PM

Nice reg lad

LOL

Drunken Master · 17-10-2009, 07:41 PM

Nice one, you doing anything to the car handling wise?

COCHYN · 17-10-2009, 08:10 PM

@ rst-g

What's wrong with the plate? Appart from a dodgy gypo run scrap yard and garage around here, thought JLS was the in thing according to Radio 1

@ Drunken Master

Has full Gaz coilovers, compression struts and a few poly bushes. Also has solid rear beam mounts that makes it a little interesting

Appart from that its a pretty good handling car. Seems that the Sierra bits work well in a Focus, if not better

Will be uprating the brakes from the RS setup and a few other choice items...I think I've been talked into a fully adjustable rear beam

Drunken Master · 17-10-2009, 08:42 PM

Sounds nice, will keep an eye on it.

COLEYST200 · 18-10-2009, 09:59 AM

nice to see it back in its right place mate now get it running and have some fun in it all the best

COCHYN · 18-10-2009, 05:07 PM

Its running boys and girls, and so far driving really well....TOUCH WOOD!!!

Steering alterations have also made it less of handful, even in straight lines. Pleasure to drive.

Will clean it up and take some pics, as the engine bay is cleaner than everything at the moment

what steering alterations have you made mate, seeing as i will be building one all info greatly appreciated.

cheers jason

COCHYN · 18-10-2009, 05:19 PM

Oh nothing, just replaced all the bushes on the column and the steering rack arms

Sounds like nothing, but the difference is unbelievable! Its very planted.

When you build yours, you will have to modify a Focus column. Basically, just weld the lower straight shaft from a Sierra to the Focus shaft where the two shafts split on a hinge.

nugnah · 18-10-2009, 05:42 PM

cheers for the info mate

Cars great bud, sleeper look all the way, more fun when that cock of a sales rep in his M3 tries to get away at the lights. One question i gota ask thow, with the gearbox tunnel in there, is there enough room for the standard Focus heater matrix or is it a sierra one?

RONNIE AMIS · 19-10-2009, 01:50 PM

looking good mate. glad you've got it all sorted

Zetecfiesta · 19-10-2009, 04:11 PM

There is mate, but I'm glad the original stuff isn't behind the dash because it leaves room for a better heater

Rear beam is o.k. I guess, some other options would have been better. But its safe, strong and rock hard on your back

Don't worry about it

As for the heater, http://www.uwe.se/main.php?menuId=115

COCHYN · 21-10-2009, 12:23 PM

Not much to update at the mo, currently driving everywhere to run it in. But here's a few pics I took earlier

CraigoScott · 21-10-2009, 12:31 PM

looks nice mate, but needs a bloody good polish!!!

time for that tho i suppose! i cant quite fall in love with the styling tho, i think it needs modernisation!! facelift bumpers and lights would smarten it up a treat i think!

COCHYN · 21-10-2009, 12:36 PM

Already in the pipeline, was going to sort bodywork befor engine, but engine kinda pushed its way in line

Few dents and scratches here and there, will be replacing a lot of bits and having more or less a full repaint. Bodywork staying as standard as possible

andy888 · 21-10-2009, 12:38 PM

remember this when chappie was getting it built. need to shorten the tailpipe imo and i agree would look ace with 17" racelines. maybe even in anthracite?

andy

carlo · 21-10-2009, 02:39 PM

Just back from holiday mate glad to see its all up running again

PT · 21-10-2009, 02:50 PM

Love it, needs standard "sleeper" wheels though imo

dingla rs · 21-10-2009, 03:18 PM

spot on m8 only wish mine was at this point lol,will look different again with new pannels an fresh paint ,an a grill

looks great on them wheels

andy escos · 21-10-2009, 04:02 PM

that engine looks right at home in there just like a factory fit will look great when body work done & you,ve fitted the grill.

COCHYN · 21-10-2009, 04:33 PM

Aye, remarkable how much a grill changes everything

Gonna get going with the bodywork asap, luckily everything that needs paint are bits that can easily be removed from the car

Bg_rs · 21-10-2009, 04:49 PM

Very nice

f6cus · 21-10-2009, 04:51 PM
