Right.... Been a while since I posted on hear but I've been flat out at work ect so haven't had any spare time to update on hear.
Soo.... I managed to get a turbo, already starting to regret it slightly but £19 for a r5 ggt is worth anybody's money, still, a t2 will almost certainly be far too small considering I was after a t3. On a plus the ggt turbo downpipe will be simples to fab so saves me getting a erst downpipe and fab that to fit.i should have it begginging of Next week fingers crossed.
Also I got the bargain of the century last night on our favourite auction site. An 1800 zetec lump with fully rebuilt head, seals and core plugs, new oil filter ect for the grand total of £21!! Ment a 2 and half hour round trip but it was worth every second as the bloke who was selling it had a mint mk2 escort tucked away in his garage!
Sprayed aload of that ferntan or whatever it's called (rust killer) all in the inner arches a couple weeks ago to help kill what usually kills the mk5s and mk4s so would be nice to see some lovely clean metal and a load of 'black powder' for rust as the product says. Ill post pictures of it if someone, if anyone wants a look.
Ill start getting pictures of the engine ect today but I got home at 11 last night so was slightly dark.
Feeling motivational today so may get her up on axel stands and put the new hubs, breaks on her ready for her new shoes when I find some. I'm after some 15" mondeo or rs2000 5 spokes if anyone knows of any? Ill rip the head off ready for fitting the fanimold aswell ready for next weekend, need to pick up an m6 tap iirc to tap the new studs. Also I need to port the exhaust ports out to Match the mani so and tips on this ie what method is best to do? And should I use those 'stone' drill bits to grind away the ally?
That's enough for now, I may even miss the f1 just to get some more bits done wich is seriously unheard of!!!
