better than red though i have wondered if i made the right choice & maybe black would have been better

spent most of today working on the 3dr

fittings on the fuel pressure regulator to take the braided hose



braided hose fitted to the hard lines











the threads were gone for the prop centre bearing so they were drilled, tapped & helicoiled















braided powersteering hose fitted





swirl pot fitted



taken the front braked off the saff, the diskes were going rusty so i thougt the 3dr could clean them up untill the saff goes back on the road (if it ever does)

Great progress there james! Where did you get the braided fuel lines from? I may do the same on my saph on the rebuild.

jaimesdna

iTrader: (3)

hoses came from a local hydraulics company. i did all the fuel lines on my saff front to back in braided, but trying to keep costs down on the 3dr so only did the front

RSLUBBY

iTrader: (19)

Oh no my fav colour 3 door with fav wheel I'll be selling the escos to buy another! Sadly sold my rl7s last week as said I'd never have another 3 door or saff as after the escos getting a focus. I need an rocket cover like yours please sell it to me lol

jaimesdna

iTrader: (3)

i was originally going to use the rl7's on the 3dr but the offset isnt really that good & they dont clear the front shocks. the cam cover is really easy to do. just mask up the silver & letters & paint in wrinkle black then brush paint the letters after. if you really want, send me your cam cover & ill do it for you

jaimesdna

iTrader: (3)

added some extra cut outs to the air box





cv joints cleaned & painted, rady for re assembly



a mate, tony, made me this. its for the oil return on the breather. it will return the oil under the oil level in the sump to stop it trying to breath up it



braided hose for the breather



got some new plugs for the injectors & new pins to replace any damaged ones



finally this is how the bay is now looking. ive painted the windscreen washer bottle as i didnt like it looking mankey

turblower

K464TGV

Looks like its nearly there mate, stick with the blue samcos - they add a nice contrast to the engine bay....

K464TGV

Sorry - assume they're samcos....never the less they look good to me!

jaimesdna

iTrader: (3)

cheers. there does seem to be quite some debate on the blue. im likeing them more now with the clips on etc. all going well it should be taxed for the beginning of april

jaimesdna

iTrader: (3)

jaimesdna

iTrader: (3)

jaimesdna

iTrader: (3)
