Okay so I will begin my second build (the first was a Mk1 Mini)
I have an Ex- KA Championship Left hand rally car
Thing is it is in complete pieces and not all the parts are there
So I collected the car and it looks like this:




After getting all the parts out, filled the Ka and my focus with Ford racing bumpers and general shite

Then I began to inspect the 1.3 engine: High Comp pistons, 285 Spec Camshaft, 3 angle Valves and Seats, higher IB springs and lightened flywheel
And this is what it looked like when i got it:






With a general check on measurements crank float etc all was good
Then the engine was sent to Scholar Engines for a clean up so here goes:
- New Piston Rings - New Shells - New Gaskets and Seals - A Hone - Crank Polish and thorough clean





So relapped valves and started to rebuild the head. Had OCD on keeping it all clean, tools the lot:






Then began to clean the pistons:




Spent a day cleaning the engine cases, crank bolts, push rods etc:






Then bagged everything up ready for final build at another location, fully mapped ECU, and speedline Corse wheels
