well guys..... the basics are....bought the car as a standard looking mk3 cabby with burton engine... stripped it to a shell.....rebuilt it....ran it for three weeks......bought a mk4 turbo....stripped it......stripped the mk3 AGAIN...... built it back up turbo powered. im not one for typing longs stories and im sure you get the point.....heres the important stuff......PICTURES!!






































i have few bits of the turbo for sale ... complete sunroof and mechanism (manual but all works)....set of five s2 turbo alloys good condition. one needs painted...... the steering wheel shown above.... complete s2 90spec kit.....

feel free to give opinions guys

 

 

I'm actually impressed mate, looks really good on the cossie rims

What red is that?

 

yeh i like it on these rims mate. had it on 16 inch rs 7 spoke, fezza st 17s and the cossies look best. its a genuine ford colour mate. sunburst, was on xr2/xr3 and 16i's

 

that looks the nuts!

 

looks well nice

 

nice work there and i want your rs 7's

 

Looking that, good work

 

sorry mate there sold while back. they were the 16 inch version off mondeo but i polished them by hand. got good money so they had to go

 

love it mate, looks spot on, it's not that easy to get a car looking right - you have the touch!!

Matt

 

keep up the good work pal

 

That's awesome

I wanted to by the grey one from Carl but he's never on here grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

heres some news on my convertible..... the engine thats been put in i have got out again due to it starting to smoke. the turbo was not in the best of conditions when i done the convertion and also it started to develope rattles from the tappets. ive got another engine for it which has piper cam, got chipped ecu's and brand new t3 for it, i have also got a stage 3 t3 but im going to go with the new standard one for now. i have converted the mk4 rs turbo lsd gearbox to having the mk3 casing so thats also going in now too, heres some of the latest pictures

engine ready to come out almost





up up and away









the new turbo

 

I like this alot

 

thanks mate. looks better with the series1 graphics but ive only done one side at the moment. had them made up in grey / black instead of blue. love it

 

looks sweet mate!!

 

fookin top marks there mate. Absolutly love this mate!!!!!

Brings back me memories of earlier this year when i did my mk3 cabriolet.....

 

stunning again mate

how many cars have you got

 

Mate thats looks awesome on the escos rims i love it

 

ive got three at the moment mate. this turbo cab, mk3 s dr also in restorations and projects and my mag feature car fez st

 

that fez st looks the business!!!

seen it before....probly the best styled one ive seen!

 

thanks mate. id do a project thread on it but i aint got enough pics to back what i done

 

very impressed with the finished cabby m8 ,I like mk3 cabbys more than mk4's they look far better when modded like that.
