That was taken a couple of days ago, you should of seen it 3 weeks ago when I done it. A consultant had to put it back together. Basically I crushed it and as I pulled my hand out it ripper the end of my finger open to the bone and underneath the nail bed. It looked real bad seeing the bone with all the nail and flesh hanging off lol.

Snap! Couldn't feel a thing but could hear it tearing and cracking. Watching your finger being put back together without pain is one strange thing to do. Fuck me did it ever bleed!

Hello peeps! Im back on it! I decided to change the diff hanger, i got a bit of 80x80x3mm (if your thinking of doing it i would suggest 100x100mm) box section had kicking about and welded in 4 nuts. A lot more beefy.






Ill get this in the chassis and mark up the rear beam mounting points and finish those off. Ill add some images of that to as i keep getting asked how in done it.

Hello all, i've had to move the RS100 out of her old home and onto my driveway but now she is home ive got a lot more time to work on it. Not a lot recently has changed to the ass end as ive had to put the tub on (limited for space). So ive decided to get on with the for end.

Ive pulled the std p100 loom out




and ive also cleared the engine ready to pull the old pinto out.



Since that pic ive also removed the brake servo etc and the heater, surround etc etc. Just waiting for a mate to pop over with his engine crane to pull the lump and box out.

Ive manage to pick up a new slam panel (BIG THANKS TO JOFFY ). I think it needs to be changed as the bonnet catch and head lights line up in different positions compared to the saph front.



Next job is to stone chip the arches and prep the engine bay ready for a coat of moonstone blue and clear coat. Then while the engine is out she is going to be turned on her side for the underside resto. Im just praying the weather holds out!

I keep getting the scrap man tapping the door and posting their number through the letter box lol!

Easy to put the lump in, the only problem is that the type 9 diesel box has a short in put shaft so your need to change the box too. Both I have for sale. Pm me with a sensible offer. They go well with the 2.0l pinto in.
