Hi Fordnatics,

Here are some new pics of my project, let me know what you think of it!



This is my rear bumper with the strip removed.


Metering unit looks good again after some cleaning...


The half-cage for in the car. Thanks to a friend of mine for building it.


How the car looks like now. A lot of stuff came out of there..... Behind it is my Mk2 which is my daily car.


The clutch that has to handle the power.


Of course a GRS jobbie for low ACT's....


And a GRS alu rad for keeping the water temps low as well!


Old becomes new again....... Top adjustable Koni's 6cm. shortened!


A second hand scorpion. Took me HOURS to polish it!!!! (no I don't have a girlfriend )


This is how the boot looks like since half a week. Spraypainted it myself.


And another one. This is also the colour the whole car will be when it's ready. It's "Phoenix Gelb" from the E46 M3. Not a Ford colour unfortunately but I fell in love with that colour the first time I saw it.


Boost it up!!!


Same job done as with the rear bumpie.


A front brake.... All mounted on the strut. Off course all wheel bearings are new.


Homebuild 2.0 ZVH turbo engine..... (almost ready)





A nice RS1600i cam cover on a turbo.....


Front strut.

Next thing for me to do is strip the car further, throw the 3i engine out and clean out the engine bay.
Then the car can go to the spray painter who's going to paint the outside and engine bay for me. After that it's building time and I hope I have the car running and MOT'd before summer. When it will be completely finished I can't tell. Cars like this are never totally finished I guess........

It's not a complete concours kind of restoration but for Dutch standards it's a big project.

Hope you liked to see my pictures, just tell me what you think about it.


Cheers,
Mark
