well here we go i baught this series 1 about 5 months ago it looked ok on the outside but....





then it went to the body shop to get a few pannels chucked on...

well thats about it so far but its to be continued...

 

ive gone and baught a cts stage 2 + gear box off of a mate for 600 quid, took it home primerd & painted silver then found out that it wont fit a series 1 cos of the gearbox mountings at the front cos it was out of a series two so i'll change the casings to get it in but its just more work isnt it



oh and the body shop has put new front cross member & chassis legs on the front...

 

Brian

 

Best of luck

CHEERS FOR THE COMMENTS

 

 

 

a we update for you;
ive just been to the body shop & seen he has put the passenger side inner wing on also with the windscreen out he has also put a replacement pannel on the scuttle pannel corner, it looks rough just now but this guys work is excelent

he,s also put on the outer sill on the neer side;

the rear arch also needed replaced so away that went on looking loads better than before

the rear bottom quarter pannel has also been replaced

so thats about it so far but i'll definatley be back with more cos this isnt getting put up forsale as an unfinished project i tell ya but its going further than i anticapated

 

Good Luck mate are you doing a full bare shell resto?

 

i dont think so.. well im leaving the dash in when it gets painted but besides that everything else is getting removed for paint

 

Well done, keep the pics coming !

 

Comin on nice mate

 

just went to check on the old chestnut today & guess what... more rust

cc
check that out. the guy before me must have tried to fix the arch with a few bits of tin..how rough is that

he's cut the drivers inner wing out ready for the new one to cum & he's put the new sill on the drivers side aswell;


big update cumming next week

P.S. and ive just baught a set of these escort cossie alloys so this is what look im aiming for...how nice is this (without single wiper & spot lamps)

 

nice like the cosi wheels

 

Your S1 will look mint when done mate... cossie alloys will look tops

 

Top work mate - another S1 in Scotland being saved, good sh*t

 

thanx for the comments folks

 

should have a work warning on this pic!!!!


looks flocking porn!!!!!

 

Looking Good.

That Used to be a Good Clean S1 Back in its day

 

hopefully it'll be a good clean s1 again lol
do you know the car yourself mate?

 

I know most S1's in this area Im a Bit of a Bufty when it comes to an S1 or Cosworth having owned a Fair few.

A freind of mine owned that car a good few years back.

Who and Where did u buy it from.

 

i got it from a lad in inverurie called jason addie about 5 months ago. it never had much done to it when i first got it (exhaust, filter,hoses)
its getting all the body work done at cadgers garage just now but im hoping for it to be finished by april, ready for the show season

 

good work dood will look well tasty on them cossie rims

 

Fitlikeeeeeeeeeeeee , good job your getting it repaired if your planning to zvh it ! have you got an engine yet ? are you awa the noo ?
the man fae oar the road ( hatton )

 

i see ya ma loon, no i havent yet but theres no point building one nowadays with all these people braking the fancy ones

 

I BUILT THAT BAD BOY! Must be nearly 6 years ago now.
it is fookin dog rough now, was gonna buy it back but needs to much work, its in ireland now, well it was about a year ago when i was thinking about buying it back!! the car was painted vauxhall glacier white and it had a 2wd cossie cooler but new owner removed it and replaced the front panel, hence the different colour.
60mm drop with a extra coil chopped off the back springs to get a nice height.
i smashed it after owning it for 10 days

 

its stunning mate...so thats it like just springs didnt you need coilovers or spacer plates or anything? surely the arches where well trimmed

ive fell in love with that picture since i seen it

 

koni shocks all round as well, front arch lips were removed completely, and bodykit trimmed right back aswell.
rears were done aswell, inner skin cut out completely and outer skin folded right up against it and seam welded round the edge, could still have 4 grown men in it with no rubbing what so ever. running 215/40x16 tyres. it is a h plate rs turbo shell with mk3 panels on it. running 200brake, 2wd cossie discs on the front and series 2 drums on back.

 

that rs on cossie wheels is proper porn!

hats off to you mate for getting it all done...must be costing a pretty penny!

will be worth it in the end!

 

cheers mate..

its always cheeper when you know the right folk

but it is going further than anticapated
but everyone on this page has taken it further than they where expecting

 

update time
i went to check the progress today & was surprised the finger
was pulled out & the drivers inner wing was put on but not before
even more of the dredded rott was foun & patched up also the front pannel was tacked up ready along with the drvers sill....

 

should look good when finished , who's painting it ?? , keep them pics coming
