More progress but still not ready for starting.


Fuel lines complete and tested. I used PTFE hose and AN6 fittings. The original hard line was cut back to suit the fuel filter that was relocated to the bottom of the bulkhead guaranteeing I will get covered in petrol every time it’s changed.

My best find. New unused wiper motor. I avoided using the car in the rain as the wipers were so slow. They are amazing now.

I bought what I thought was a EFI XR3i pedal to suit the different throttle cable but when mine was removed it’s different. The end was cut of and welded to the original.

Ready to weld.

All done.

New gaskets ready to fit.

Some flexible hose to go from the oil cooler to the inlet manifold as the hose tail is in a different place 🤷‍♂️

I went to fit my new Fiesta RST leads and then found out there are two different types of coil pack. So one to fit my leads was sourced.

Fuel pump relay in the original location. Pull up resistor for the tacho (using a relay coil as Maxx recommended) This has been tested and works. Although the ABS has been removed I wanted the dash light to function as normal so the ABS relay was retained and the wiring altered to suit.
