Just a few pics as i can not remember the last time i posted some, infact i have not posted any since Passionford crashed and all my thread was deleated

Anyway he is a few just to prove the project is still on going and is very slowly be finished



New and hopefully improved brake set up, Cossie 4x4 calipers and 2wd discs





Makes a bit of a change from the normal silver i thought, hope people like them???



Not a lot of room, the caliper just touches the wheel weight!

 

cheapest calipers on the planet them

 

that looks fooking mint

 

Nice one

Hows the rest of the car coming along ??

 

The word "slowly" springs to mind!!!! lol

 

Aint had much time over the last few months but had had time to do a few bits and bobs, what do you think?









Just gotta finish making the front part now, then paint the cage and the inside of the car then put it all back in....

 

lookin good like the black s1 rims

 

please tell me that's not a kink in the main hoop of the roll bar, next to the B piller and indow line.

 

It is mate, the pipe bender is proper shite , iam thinking about welding a bit in instead.

 

alright mate, i have some sierra cossie calipers, what did you have to do to get em on, i have been told that discs should fit straight on. cheers

 

The caliper on mine are 4x4 ones they go stright on you just have to put a washer between then and the mounting bracket to space them out 2-3mm, the discs i used are 2wd ones because they are bigger and they go stright on

 

Ive had a bit of spare time to crack on with the S1 over the last couple of weeks here are some pics:







Then to make sure all the interior still fits:





Yes i know ive cut the dash to fit round the cage, hope its not causeing to many lol. But as a saw it the dash was not mint so dont worry about it.







I know the door bars are a lot lower than they should be, but the cage is not ment to be FIA approved it more for show, lol. Its also been a nightmare tying to work around all the trim in the car, even the door cards still fit and speaker kick well covers
I now need to fit some more parts before i can remove the cage and paint all the inside of the car and the cage its self, so if anyone has an EFI XR3I complete wiring loom is uncut condiction they want to sell PM me.

 

keep up the great work

 

Very nice mate, love the black wheels

Who done the black rims 4 ya?

 

Probally is mate, i reckon the washer is 1-1.5mm think

Done them all myself mate, i run my own small body shop, kind of helps

 

Here are some of the older pics i have, they were all posted up on here before Passion Ford crashed and they were all wipped.



They photo from the advert, some of you might reckonise it as Thrush`s.



Dont the wheels look nice? The car dont look to bad in the pics, but it really is a rotton pig, as the pics latter on will show, i brought the car nowing this and the price also reflected this



Complete strip down to bear shell, this is when you really find how rotton the thing is

Part of one of the rotton floor pans cut out.



New floor pan all welded in

More rot, this is the inner skin of the A piller, where the door bolts on, no wonder the door was a bit wobbly



A bigger pic of the A piller.



The top of the inner wing, the bolts are the bonnet hinge bolts, the front end of the car was tearing off

 

Right time for a few more pics:



The roll cage removed and primed up and ready to rub down and paint, hopefully i wont have to remove it again its a nightmare to get out



The rear floor all primed and ready to also be rubbed down and painted, its gonna have to be good as no rear seats or carpets are going back in, just the side panel trims, which have all got to be cleaned and fitted before the cage goes back in.



The front section of the floor all painted and ready for the carpet to go back in and hide all the nice paint up



Looking much better now, all the rust has finally gone hopefully never to return!!!

 

good job be worth in the end

 

Looking awesome,lot of work there

 

Thanks been busy again today, have painted the roll cage and about to paint the rest of the inside, hopefully will get some more pics up latter.

 

 

looking good matey

 

getting there buddy

 

top work there m8 i rember how bad the car was when matt had it lol

 

Update time again, ive done a few bits to it over the last few weeks, here are some pics:



The wiring loom is slowly going back in, the loom is in a right state, its had bits cut into it all over the place, its also having the crappy MFI management removed and EFI management added.



Cage and some trim added to the rear of the car too, just got to tidy up the rear 1/4 card where it meets the roll cage.



New dash board pods for 3 52mm gauges going in the upper centre heater vents, a Turbo Display going in the upper centre speaker hole and the other part is the new barrary tray which is going in the boot.



Ive now got all the bits to put the gearbox back together, iam hoping its going to work, basicly iam using a late BC box from a mk6 Escort, this has bigger diff bearings and a improved shift mech inside, it should also be higher geared too as its from a derv, its also having the LSD added from the orignal gear box.

 

WTF has happened to my camera in the last couple of updates, the pic quilaty is crap

 

love the black cage on the white of the car

 

The cam cover for the new engine all painted............. Oh it seams to be a 16V cam cover



Dont worry it aint painted with huge metal flake thats dust!!
