ive never realy posted on this for my project so i thought i would show you how mines getting on, i decided ive had enough of the rsturbo engine and want summut a little more reliable and usefull (enginewise) as i use
my cars everyday

so i bought a mk4 cabriolet and went about ripping it to peices and fitting a 2ltr zetec from a mondeo.

with the engine in and running i deceided to strip it all back down and get the engine bay now painted, i smoothed out all the spot weld marks and extra holes that had been drilled over the years... then retaped the loom, sorted the mess of wiring from the omex management and put catch nut in everything that needed fitting back on the bodywork to save drilling holes that will ljust rust larger later in life lol

wel heres some pics of how i got on and what it looks like now....





ive not reused any old fixings for anything, i thought i may as well do this rite...


smothed out all the castings from a spare rocker i got from friend, and had a custom engraved spark plug cover made


same people even managed to make me a stainless engraved vin plate....certainly beats the old crappy one


just the bumpers to flatten and prime and the outside gets its treat of a new coat of blue



hope to have it in colour soon as i plan on taking it to the central rs owners day at santa pod in april...
