Hi chaps , some of you are aware that im am currently building a S1 rear wheel drive ,

well im actually on with 2 of the damn things

the S1 is all my work from start to finish , but im still !!!!!!!!!! waiting on pannels so its currently collecting dust in the shop ,

The other is a original Genesis Mk 3 that had seen a dodgy owner after it had a fire near the fuse box , he brush painted it , let it go rusty and basicly didnt know what he was doing , this is where i stepped in ,

having the S2 rack car i wanted to try a RWD , But i dont like saphs and the S1 is going to be a road car ,

Bring n the genesis/fusion-mobile



this is how it was advertised , didnt look to bad in the piccys and the bloke said he was "preparing it " for rallying but somthing had come up ( i recon he just ran out of Dulux or his 6" brush had lost all its bristles





then i got it back to the workshop and stuck it on the ramp for a better look around , not to bad but was on the brink of a rot box and it again looked a proper mess!







I gave it a rub downand a quick lick of paint in the engine bay to make it a little more respectable and so i could see what i was doing , then stared to trial fit my proposed engine , Zetec , cross member , rack , turbo , gear box , u know the rest







once i had everything fettled , trail fitted and the first bits fabricated i took it all back off again and prepped it for a good paint , the inside went back to bare metal as it had been painted about 30 times , the engine bay had 10 different colours and there was that shitty tetrosyl everywhere

hears the end result , ( the outside , doors , etc will be done later in my mates oven )

befor



after










Back to the engine , basicly a Focus RS engine , modified sump to fit over the rack and member , relocated alternator and idler so the water pump goes the right way T4 blower on a " itll do for now " manifold , Bike carbs ( R1) and cusom plenem , Modified sump for starter motor , T5 box with a modified release bearing , ( the clutch assy is 15mm thinner than the cossy one ) Fabricated gearbox mount and WCXM engine mounts from retro ford Theirs loads of modding , fettling and altering i had to do but id be hear all day ,








The engine and box ar now fully built and back in the car , ill get some piccys up soon with it in place

the rear is basicly a cossy beam but ill get to that later once its all back from powder coating , Finishing the tanks and fuel assy tomorrow , if i get it all fitted ill get some piccys and post an update

oh and cooling will be done in the back hence the big hole in the boot fl oor , cant wait to start that , ( any good plumbers on hear )
