hi folks thought it was about time i started a thread off had my saff for about 3 yrs now bought it of my mate who works at bristol st ford and i had done a bit of work when he owned it
when i bought it it had got a brand new t34 500 cooler bailey breather running a stg 1 chip so 1st thing i did was take it to karl norris for a proper setting up and came away with a stg1 t34 gunship conversion more updates and pics on the way

 

keep us posted , any pics

 

here is apic when i 1st bought it



one of the engine bay


one of the interior


then i did my 1st show which was the lightwater valley went with adam and steph nashy took the pic








then went to fordfair 2007 got burnt big time

bought a few bits and pieces whilst at ford fair

pro alloy swirl pot and header tank

now fitted with philloy srtut brace group A filter and new power steeing tank






so nashy went through a stage of becoming a women and not making his mind up weather he wanted the saff so when he started to brake the car i kindly bought his engine loom off him which has omly done 1000 miles cheers mate

oh i also did him a swap for his leather interior cos he wanted the cloth and i prefer the leather

 

oh i forgot fitted a pro alloy turbo cooler too


the jobs that need to get sorted is get these goodies that i have purchased over the last year


wasted spark kit off ryhan
pro comp boost and oil pressure gauges off ryhan cheers mate
L8 ecu off shorty
044 fuel pump
set of greys then remapped by mr norris


oh and the engine loom which we had a go at on new yers eve but hit a bit of problemthe alarm is wired straight in to the loom so got to get a lad we know to sort that

will be ordering new rocker cover gaskets water pump and cambelt
and going to get the rockercover painted up

 

todays progress stripped the cams out and fitted the new tappets







going to take the cams to work and wash off in the parts washer on monday and stick back once i have ordered some new cam seals they were not leaking but might as well whilst the cams are out


Nashy lookin for his left handed screw driver

 

going to ring matt lewis monday to order my shopping list so should have it running next weekend
then the sparky is coming 1st weekend in feb to wire the 044 fuel pump up and a few other bits that need doing
will update as soon as

 

nice write up lee,looking stunning as ever

 

looking good mate

 

right its been a while since i updated been busy with gettin some stuff done but 1st of all want to say massive thanks to nashy he has been pushing me a long with getting the work done


i have had the fuel pump rewired and fans rewired too which is a proper tidy job well inpressed with it i will show some pics of this next time i get the car out in the day light

so then new cambelt water pump camseals and tappets oh and auxillary belts have been fitted had to mint the fuel pump bracket up cos that was proper mingin

so a little help from the boss [she will kill me for this 1 ]






then purchased this to go in the bracket






oh and thanks to KEV 3dr for the fitting top man


couple of pics of the pump and fan wiring













made a start of putting the loom in too just got to finish it off







this was the gauges i bought off ryhan but wanted something slightly different to try and make it look a little factory so big thanks goes out to the master dave monster for this gauge plate i had him make up for me just fitted it in to the original haeter vent surround i think it looks pretty good pics might not show it though









so last week took the top part of the dash and had it repaired by a company called leathertech there was this stupid old style alarm thing on the dash a bit like the old moss alarms so when i took this off there was some right shitty holes underneath and crack was starting to appear near to 1 of the heater vents
they have repaired it today looks spot on cant even tell well impressed with it got no pic of that yet though

so tomoz night dash is going back in with some help from ad


and may even put this on

Liking the rocker cover, have you had that refurbed? If so, who did it mate?

 

had it powder coated in crewe gave them a piece of samco hose and told them to do it as close to the blue as poss

 

Cool, where was that mate? They've done a great job by the looks of it, how much did it cost?

 

wilkinsons in shavington the powder coating cost about Ł35 mate

 

love the 2wd mate

 

right rocker cover is on and dash back in went for mot today big thanks to adam again for meeting me on my dinner and following me to the MOT centre and then taking me back to work. passed no probs asked stu the mot guy if there was anything to keep an eye on he says doubtfull you only did a 1000 miles in the last 12 months
they delivered the car back to my work funny that cos never do that when i take the escort or the mrs fiesta
