[RS_Rob]

as the engine is going to have a full revamp ian / area six gave me a list of things to get so i can take them when i drop the engine in for inspection and to discuss a plan of action also i've bought bits which will help the engine to look new all i can say i'm very thankfull for employee discount some pics sump bolts, stem seals (inlet red - exhaust green) flywheel dowels x3 focus rs spark plugs x4 zetec headbolts x10 flywheel bolts x6 sump gasket camshaft seals rocker cover gasket oil pump seal and gasket inlet manifold gasket and then two head gaskets one being a focus rs headgasket as i read this would be needed about a year ago only to learn once speaking to area six its no good for my engine water pump and gasket water pump pulley oil pressure switch cps sensor middle and bottom parts of the timing belt cover, as i have a clear top section ford timing belt kit heres some parts i have ready for the new engine aswell my spare cam cover sprayed the same colour as the car, with the letters polished then laquer'd over fiesta turbo ofab ecu wiring loom, looks scary S2 escort turbo T3 manifold rover turbo M16 inlet manfold, adapted to fit the zetec by area six fiesta turbo throttle body fiesta turbo iscv ahmed bayjoo spec injectors area six spec cams area six modified zetec head head taped to fit S2 escort manifold ported by area six

heres some pics of the block, excuse the colours, not my choice at all

heres the block upside down on the engine stand (front breather blocked off)




standard zetec rods with arp bolts




the forged pistons




sump back on, you can see the oil return from the turbo on the sump




the back of the block, showing the breather pipe relocated here also the oil feed for the turbo




heres the van packed for the trip up to area six
you can also see the flywheel on its own







well the trip to see ian howell or AREA SIX
went really well, stripped the engine further and discussed plans
confirmed if parts were what i was told they were, such as cams being his spec etc



The overall plan is to freshen the engine up to a very standard
heres some of the things being done to the engine

- new valve guides as some of the originals had wear meaning the valve had play in the head
- new tappets , again signs of wear
- clean the valves up
- rehone the bores, possibly a rebore if needed depending on what ian's machine shop say
- crank is being polished
- all new bearings for the bottom end
- head having a fresh skim
- block is also having a fresh skim
- acid dipping the block
- adding an oil drain to the sump
- putting the whole engine back together with all new seals, gaskets, water pump etc
- also timing it up


decided to build the bottom end to a good spec incase i want more power in the future
so i'm having new forged pistons and steel rods with arp bolts (ian's spec of course)
so awaiting what happens with the bores first before the pistons and rods can be oredered

discovered the head has been machined for cossie plugs which is a good thing as they have a much wider range of spark plugs for the cossie lump, which means we can choose a better suited plug which runs at a certain temperatures which is suited to certain boost/power.

ian also had a look at my loom which i was dreading as it looked a nightmare, much to my suprise he disconnected the bits i did'nt need and helped me lable all the connectors

the loom went from this




to this, much happier
the parts with the green and yellow tape are not needed as their either diagnostic ports
or parts from the fiesta turbo loom which basically just are not used
i plan to tidy the loom up later on, but before i cut anything i want to make sure the engine runs first




also my car spit arrived in work, which will allow me to have my car on its side
making it easier to prep the underneath

[RS_Rob]

right so my plans are to have the fiesta bay stripped and painted
also got a few other plans aswell such as relocating the battery to the boot to make more room in the engine bay

so the old engine
originally a 1.8 16v 105 ps engine
rs1800 130ps spec throttle body, cams, ecu, maf sensor
only thing i was missing from the rs1800 was the 'HO' inlet manifold (high output - stamped on the back)
but still made 129bhp the last time it was on the rollers, i think it could of been more with the proper inlet

heres a pic




so the stripping began




beefy cossie wheels




inlet off, rear firewall out, engine loom out




rad out, thermo stat off, power steering rad out






so the engine was ready to come out,
was very happy to see this come out, its been a good engine to me but
its time to move on to better things




always wanted to have the legendary photo in the engine bay





my old man was helping me at times, so had to get a picture with him haha




alot more room, but still lots to take out, but wanted to leave it so that i can still steer etc
as i have to move the car for the next stage






wiper linkage and motor out, heater fan unit out
taped up the hole so nothing falls inside the heater unit for now

[RS_Rob]

so i was up early to make room at work for the fiesta
was bloody cold as you can see my breathe

while i'm on the subject of the weather, i definutely did'nt pick the best week to take the engine out
as its been freezing everynight this week and even started snowing at one point.




new home for a while




later on i had the car picked up from the house




much better with more space, warmth, tools etc





cover over the top as its a dusty place






more parts including the following
-cossie spark plugs (ian told me which ones to get)
-thermostat housing bolts
-thermostat gasket
-crank pulley bolt (still waiting on a new crank pulley)
-waterpump pulley bolts
-timing belt cover bolts

[RS_Rob]

right i've got quite alot of parts ready for this new engine
aswell as the engine itself,

so let the pics begin

Cossie group A airfilter ( bulb was the only thing i could find, to help show the size)




brand new ford rear engine mount




series two escort turbo lower boost pipe (samco)
new fords loom for between the alternator/starter/battery




clear zetec top timing belt cover to go with the other new timing belt covers
(to show my vernier pulleys)




gauges, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, boost, air/fuel ratio and volts




newly refurbed starter motor




fiesta turbo GRS intercooler
planning to have this pressure checked and re-polished




grs alloy rad with kenlowe slim fans




when i bought the engine i had a few extra bits aswell, silicone hose, metal pipework etc
(custom pipework from the throttlebody to the intercooler is at the bottom middle)




13 row mocal oil cooler





front strut brace with bracket holding the edis module and map sensor




rear strut brace with bracket holding a battery kill switch as i plan to move the battery to the boot




close up of the kill switch




false floor with ford battery tray to hold the battery in the boot securely




sealed optima redtop battery for the boot and the ford battery clamp to hold it on the battery tray




distribution block on a bracket for the engine bay, basically needed to relocate the battery




some rare brand new original ford headlamp protectors
not sure wether to use these or not

[RS_Rob]

well the week before christmas i've been doing the odd hour on the fiesta after work
when i've had time,
so thought i'd post up some progress on the stripping

engine bay looking a little more bare





some parts removed from the bay,
winscreen washer bottle, power steering rack and pipes, anti roll bar complete, rear engine mount




got the carpet and near new underlay out
(i had brand new last time the car was put back together after the bodywork)




trying to make the car as light as possible for the car spit
so doors off, windscreen out, tailgate off etc





also put my car spit together ready




loom out, battery out





steering wheel off and whats left of my clockspring





rear quarter trim,seat belts and opening 1/4 glass taken out





dash nearly ready to come out





engine bay stripped alot more with brake servo out, brake bar and firewall stuff





front lower arms and brackets off





front suspension off





front arch looking empty, you can see previous attempts with smooth hamerite but will all be coming off





dash out, what a mess lol






airbag ecu, fuel filter bracket and windscreen washer hose





dash, wheels and quarter glass






brake servo and master cylinder, battery and whats left of the firewall/sound deadening infront of the bulkhead





and how i left it

[RS_Rob]

all the loom is out





heres the mess of wires with just the fuel pump still connected
as the tank needs to be dropped to gain access





steering column is out





less the side air vent pipes and steering column





the parts piles are getting bigger, aswell as my garage, the attic, the conservatory and now work lol





the last time this car is going to touch the floor on its own wheels for a while




down with the fuel tank, and filler kneck
still emptied 1 and a half green petrol cans from the tank even though the red EMPTY light was on





rear coilovers off





rear beam off





not looking too bad, i've seen alot worse





how i left it at the end of the day

[RS_Rob]

been trial fitting the ends of the car spit
the front end is lovely and solid as its basically on the chassis leg ends


but the rear is bolted to the rear panel and had alot of movement when bolted up
so tried bigger washers which made an improvement





so looking to strengthen the back as i dont want to damage anything,
noticed the hole below the bumper mount





looking underneath, the hole is part of the rear chassis leg





so i opened up the hole with a belt sander and trial fitted a piece of boxed steel bar





so the plan is to use an existing hole in the rear chassis leg to bolt the metal bare securely
and weld another piece of box section steel to make it all secure
i've used red lines to show where the other piece of steel would go
this should really firm it up





as i plan to seam weld the most of the front end of the car,
the factory sound proofing inside the shell needs to be removed, lucky with the cold wether its coming off quite easy with a hammer and chisel





and i've come across a problem,
ordered a brand new fords crankshaft pulley as everything else on the engine is brand new

it arrived in a horrible primer, as all the other pulleys come in a smooth black finish i wanted them to be all the same.
so after ringing around other dealers to find out theirs are the same
even a good mate clark the other side of the country searched his dealership to find them with the same primer finish

so i'll probably have to paint it myself




tonight with the good help of a work mate adrian,
the jig was sorted at the rear of the car to make it more secure and solid,


as we started before





after the hole being opened up with a belt sander to reveal the inside of the rear chassis leg





dimensions were taken, metal cut to size, and placed fire mat's over the car appropriately as we're about to weld





a close up of eveything ready to weld





job done, nothing pretty to look at but does the job we want!!






a nut was tacked inside the new tube before welding to the jig,
so that the metal tube is tight inside the chassis leg,
using existing factory holes in the rear leg the nut and bolt work well





heres the jig connected to the front, which did'nt need any modifications





stripped back alot more sound deadening and even the seam sealer (will go more into that another time)





heres a close up of the floor plug i've removed, as one was a little loose when removing the factory sound deadening, so i plan to remove them all and weld them up!





my last engine had a small oil leak which i never got around to sorting, but it had blown all over the engine bay
so alot of things are quite dirty,


using a parts sink cleaner i cleaned up my vibratechnic uprated gearbox mounts, gave them a good clean
will probably rub the metal surfaces back and give a lick of paint to freshen up





also cleaned up the coilpack bracket, not sure why its gone a funny colour, but its clean and one of the many things i plan to have shot blasted and then powder coated





my vernier pulleys arrived, which accurately allow the cams to be advanced or retarded
and also look nice ha





got hold of an msd coilpack (has a higher voltage and not supposed to be used with standard leads)
so on the search for a set of them, unfortunately its an american product so the seach is'nt going to be easy





got myself a new header tank aswell





my new crank pulley which i'm going to have painted black to match the water pump pulley

[RS_Rob]

ok so had to remove the remains of the rear towing eye to be able to tighten the bolt which holds the spit in the rear chassis leg,
the towing eye was chopped to be able to fit the zetec s rear bumper years ago





hour and a half later of grinding as the welds are all the way through
but allows me to bolt up tight now





been cracking on with stripping the sound proofing





suprising how heavy that lot is





bulkhead panel now soundproofing free aswell,
so when seam welding underneath i dont have to worry about anything melting,
also with the age of the car it could be hiding rust





alot of the seam sealer has looked like this





until you strip it back to find small scabby bits like this

[RS_Rob]

ok so all the soundproofing is gone but some remains left to get rid of

bang and the dirt is gone........................





also made a start on the engine bay
heres the old rusty battery tray





and where it used to live, to tidy things up i planned to trim the metal back to the red line





also decided to remove the bracket which holds the wheel jack





where it used to live





and after a bit of tidying will all come together soon hopefully





i plan to have alot of parts sand blasted and powdercoated
noticed the lower crossmemeber had alot of deep scratches etc
so spent a small amount of time with the DA to smooth it all out for a better finish later on





few more bits i've been buying
- fiesta turbo throttle cable as the one specific for my car is no longer available from fords
so with the helpfull advice of people on fiestaturbo.com i found out theres a small difference in size but would be fine
- the rear timing belt cover which bolts to the block and main bottom pulley with guide as ian had trouble getting my lower pulley off




well some bad news

well the fuel tank was'nt looking brilliant as it had alot of rust





so decided to see if it could be saved, DA'd the top surface and alot of rust went and started to look good





but the rust on the sides was going nowhere
so i've decided to look for a new fuel tank





once again fords have come up top trumps again and its no longer available
so going to have to do some research as i dont fancy a patent copy fuel tank as i've heard a few bad stories

[RS_Rob]

ok so as i've been strupping either sound proofing or seam sealer off
the obvious has happened and i've come across rusty sections
the plan is to cut it out, new steel plate welded in with a finish that does'nt look out of place
regardless if its covered by carpet



so the first obvious hole is the passenger front inner arch




the passenger top of the bulkhead, normally hidden by the dash




been stripping more seams in the engine bay




on this support inside the shell, just under the windscreen was two supports
just incase they were hiding any signs of rust they were taken off




support taken off, more access to strip seam sealer and prepare panel joins for seam welding




rear beam stripped down as i want this shot blasted clean and powder coated black




i gave the rear beam plates which bolt to the shell a quick sanding with the DA
as there was a few layers of paint, so wanted to make sure its clean
before and after




heres the top bulkhead support with seams back to bare metal for seam welding

[RS_Rob]

how the inside is looking now, with nearly every seam i plan to weld back to bear metal






been stripping the rear arches back aswell




new clutch cable and speedo cable




my new FRST fuel tank arrived
heres the underneath, seems to be zinc plated or something
anyway i plan to have it all silver




the top of it, the ford label shows it was made in 2008




and next to the old rusty tank




ok time for an update which is a bit different


connected the front end of the car-spit




in the end after playing with the jacks with no joy as they would'nt go high enough,
i got the engine crane out and lifted it up high enough so that the car is now on the spit 100%
its very wierd being that high off the floor
you can see how much higher i needed the car from the gap
between the axel stands/jacks and the car




after a clear up





something i've been wanting to do for ages





cheesy moment for the memories!!




something you don't get a chance to do everyday

[RS_Rob]

more progress of the fez on its side

first thing to do with the better access was to remove the brake lines to the rear and the fuel lines





under the boot floor is the spare wheel carrier
i've not used it for years and was taken off some time ago
so while i'm here i thought i'd remove the brackets






one bracket gone





much better





overall progress of the stripping the underneath so far





done some panel modification to for the new alloy rad/intercooler setup

the front panel needs cutting to allow for my big GRS intercooler
so marked out where i want to cut for now, left a bit incase of any accidents and cutting too much





front panel cut out






heres underneath the front panel before trimming, lots of surface rust in places





and here it is now after taking it back to metal, much better





along the bottom of the front valance panel (or whats left of it) had small signs of rust
so i decided to trim this back as its hidden by the bumper anyway
i used masking tape as a guide





even with the piece trimmed above the edge of the maskin tape
i can still bolt the edge of the front bumper inside the wing





job done







and how the front end looks now
gave me better access to the main front crossmember aswell and makes no difference when all built up as the bumper covers the lot and i've less chance of rust coming back

[RS_Rob]

a while ago i got a bumper from a fiesta turbo with swage line smoothed like my current bumper
also its been cut for the big grs intercooler i have
also have a brand new lower rubber splitter ready to go on





also as i plan to take the powersteering off,
i've got myself a fiesta turbo manual steering rack as its the only mk3 fiesta with the quickrack option
3.75 turns lock to lock





bought myself new lower arm carriers aswell, as mine had rusty seams which i did'nt think would be saved from shotblasting clean





after two weeks of hunting i've sourced a front zetec engine mount from a non powersteering model
with this i'll be able to run a simple 3 pulley aux belt setup





plan is to have this looking like new before bolting on the new engine





heres the current powersteering setup on my old engine i'm ditching for the new setup




i'm slowly getting parts ready for powdercoating
heres a few bits i've cleaned in work using the part washer sink,
(master cylinder brackets, front engine mount in bits, rear engine mount bracket)





you can see the rust more now its been cleaned





bought a shotblasting kit for blasting clean a few scabby bits on the floor of the fiesta





and some aluminium oxide to be used for blasting





some new clips for under the car, they hold the fuel and brake lines
most of mine broke when taken off





recently sold my avo coilovers and zoo motorsport adjustable lower arms
i think it would be a shame to have everything new or looking new with rusty coilovers
so i plan to buy some new ones along with some adjustable lower arms from area six


so bought a few things to freshen up the front suspension setup
top mounts, suspension cups, bearings etc




some more p
rogress


the underneath has been stripped back to metal in most places






been trimming metal back again
on the rear of the back wheelarches is a fold of metal which i planned to trim back





heres the view from under the piece i planned to cut off
as you can see plenty of surface rust to be sorted with not much access





heres the piece cut off with the edges smoothed
had a quick tidy up of the rust, but will go back to finish that another time





heres some surface rust i plan to sort with the shot blasting
panels seem solid as i've tried my best to poke holes through as i'd rather sort it now properly





taken a few parts for powdercoating to a company called castle coatings,
very nice to deal with, chris said normally a week turnaround for shotblasting clean and then powdercoated





stripped my escort master cylinder back for painting as it had drips of brake acid and blobs from a previous paint job by the looks of it, taken the parts off, then blocked the holes ready for sanding





in the end it was completely sanded back to metal as there was small bits of rust starting under the two layers of paint and primer, all sanded out though thankfully

[RS_Rob]

small bits and bobs

got a non powersteering steering column and UJ
also a thermostat controlled sandwich plate for the oil cooler





gave the master cylinder a good sanding all over in the end, then gave a quick coat of spot primer for now





the shotblasting seems to be working
from this





to this





directly were my finger is pointing you can see its been blasted clean,
above it shows the small bits of rust etc





so been getting my fuel tank ready
new on the top, old on the bottom
you can see the small difference on the bottom right of each tank





had a trial fit and was a bit tight on one corner
as the new tank had an extra piece as you can see marked with the red line below
so this was trimmed off





then DA'd the whole tank ready for metal primer





heres some pictures after i had it sprayed metallic silver in work (thanks lads)
i'm very happy with it

[RS_Rob]

after not being able to find this bonnet latch support before i went to the powdercoaters
i admitted defeat and ordered a new one instead, well found the old one........................ nevermind
new vs old





a progress picture of the shot blasting, its taking a while but well worth it!





also prepped the zetec crank pulley which i could only get from fords in a horrid primer
so sprayed it myself satin matt black
from this





to this......................... chuffed with the outcome anyway

[RS_Rob]

yesterday afternoon i had some time off from working on the fiesta
i went to see a guy i've been recommended by a few mates
i'm sure a few of you will know who it is from the pictures

basically had a chat about options for my interior
was nice to meet someone else mad about fords

heres some pics of his awesome cars






an examples of his work
this is trimmed with vinyl to match his theme with the mk1 fiesta






and the sample of nappa leather i'd be going for
black matt leather (as i dont like it to shiny)

[RS_Rob]

well my powder coating has been delayed, so no pictures of that yet

but a few more parts arrived

firstly parts for the rear suspension
including rear anti roll bar brackets





as theres two different types of clips for the anti rollbar
i even got my hands on the ones which are no longer available from fords





a while ago i got hold of a RS 4spoke steering wheel





was a little worse than i thought, also the pictures did'nt show this





so ever since i've been looking for a better steering wheel, in the end i decided i wanted an RS accessory steering wheel
finally got hold of this on german ebay, very happy with the condition and its more rare than the other steering wheel

[RS_Rob]

well collected some parts back from powdercoating,
very happy i am aswell

from this





to this





some more







and a quick update of how the underneath is looking

nearly finished the shot blasting thank god,
then on with the welding
repairs here and there
then SEAM WELDING

[M16NTE]

sweet write up mate... should be a cracking car when done...

[xrmalin]

Cracking build youve got going on good luck with the rest of the build

[Glenn.]

WOW top progress you have been buying plenty of parts lol.I will be keeping a eye on this project.Keep up the good work.

[andy130]

been looking at it on ft.com aswel great work mate, makes mines look like shit, whats that tool you have for removing the under seal?
have you still got the black top head gasket mate? pm me if you do,

[RS_Rob]

you got pm!

[RS_Rob]

well time for an update on progress

i've stripped the front knuckle, hub and rear disc brake setup ready for shotblasting clean and powdercoating
massive thanks to wolze for pressing the hub and bearings out for me aswell as dismantling the rear shoes
as its going to be powder coated he also mentioned it would be a good idea leaving only the outer race of the front bearings in the knuckle
as it leaves the bearing surface untouched from shotblasting etc






next as i'm still doing the fiddly bits underneath the shell
the rear support under the boot floor was quite wide and stopped me attacking the rust and grime under it
so i've highlighted to show how thick it is originally





you'll notice the difference in the width of what i've highlighted in red again
i took the top piece back and shaped it nicely around the welded supports in the middle so it does'nt look out of place
quite happy with the shaping of the corners, it gave me the access i needed to clean up





much better now the rust is gone, you'll notice the pitting because it was quite rusted
but not too bad because otherwise the shotblasting would of blown holes through it





the rear arch more or less done, few awkward bits of sealer left to scrape off
as its too awkward to get any air tools in there





heres the front arch nearly done aswell, the masking tape is covering the factory holes to try and prevent the sand getting in,
even though it still finds a way, it gets everywhere!! !!





brake flexy fixing point looking free of rust aswell now





a few more parts came in for me, all for the fuel tank this time
including fuel pump/sender unit seal and lockring
springnut and bolts to secure the fuel tank in place
and insulators which were'nt on my car when stripping but ordered them anyway when i saw them on ECAT the fords parts system

[RS_Rob]

well i've kinda made a decision to sort every little thing i was never happy with
basically i'm looking to take the sideskirts and arches off due to bad fitment/second hand bodykit,
the front wings are coming off because it will give better access to seam weld the front chassis legs completely
aswell as shot blasting every part of the legs clean,

so i've managed to source some rare parts,
i picked up the first two bits last sunday, the other remaining parts will be coming later this week from somewhere else


original ford xr2i / fiesta turbo sideskirt and arch pre-painted ford diamond white
still in the factory wrapping with part numbers etc until i took them out for pictures
they were made in 1990 going from another sticker on the kit







its really wierd having such old parts in factory condition
few more pictures for any old ford fans





studs came with covers





still like new




factory double sided tape and part numbers inside the sideskirt




so the rest of the bodykit pics to come, hopefully so more progress aswell

[RS_Rob]

well to ensure the engine bay is fully seam welded,
also was'nt too happy with how the wings and front arches had been trimmed previously

so decided to take the front wings off, drilled the spot welds etc





also had some photo's from ian to show how the engine is looking,
although he's itching to finish it, but i'm not in a rush for it.

anyway i'm mega happy how things are looking

heres how the block looked before





after being acid dipped clean





new bearings to go with the polished crank





heres the block after its first coat of black paint

[RS_Rob]

the new eagle steel rods in their new home






the head back together after being acid dipped clean, skimmed, new valve guides, recut seats + valves





the block was rebored again aswell
original 2.0 zetecs have a bore of 84.8mm making them 1998cc or 2.0
then this block was rebored for the first set of forged pistons at 86mm making it 2047cc or 2.1 as most know
ian decided to have it bored out further for me to make it 87mm - 2098cc
then he ordered new forged pistons and rods with my new measurements


heres my favorite pictures showing the cp pistons, freshly decked block and bores after being bored out and then honed
i love the reflections in the bores

[Brian]

thanks for all the nice comments, really appreciate it
was'nt expecting many on here


UPDATE
well i recieved the rest of my new skirts and arches kit,
also still brand new in ford packaging etc





so i have a full kit now woohoo





as i'm having new rose jointed lower arms and the rear beam bushes are powerflex,
i've been ordering more powerflex bushes
polybushes for the front and rear anti roll bar





my new steering wheel was becoming a bit of a knightmare as it use's a different steering wheel boss to the more well known
rs 3/4 spoke steering wheels
after lots of searching, i've sourced myself the right boss
so i'm mega pleased!!






fitted to the steering wheel

[slammedorion]

Nice work . . .

If you want your 4 spoke retrimming give me a PM
