My mate has been restoring his S1 over the last 2 years and is nearing completion! here are some pics of the underneath! will take more when i'm there next!

 

that is awesome.truely stunning

 

that is some sick work!!


Really superb!

 

that just looks stunning


fair play, his put some hours in

 

Wow,can you still buy green brake pipes from ford?

 

if its that good on the under side, whats the top like

 

Fuckin hell that looks absolutely amazing! Always amazes me the lengths people will go to when restoring cars and the attention to detail/original parts, mine's nice n tidy but somethin like that would have to be just an ornament....couldn't bring myself to drive a car done to that standard and see it all deteriorate!

 

Yes you can mate, around about Ł5-Ł6 per metre, min quantity is 10metres though i think, i had some for mine recently.

That looks awsome by the way, better than new!!!

 

Very, very nice

 

whats happening with yours then sir?

 

Sweet mother of god ,that is stunning ,is there a resto thread of it anywhere

 

Very nice,we need more pics.

 

do they sell it all bent to shape for a particular car or do you have to buy a roll then cut it to length?

 

Comes on a roll mate, also, its steel pipe, not copper, so is a bitch to bend properly unless you have proper pipe benders.

 

SHIT bricks

how clean!!!!

 

excellent job fella!

 

perfect, them parts must all be new as he has got an amazing finish on them, shocks, rear wishbones, hub carriers, all smooth as. Fair play, like to see it

 

that looks very clean mate well done!!

 

From what he has told me he has only used new parts where he's had too! most of the genuine parts have been acid dipped and then repainted/coated and the calipers zinc plated.It really is something else to look at and the time he's spent is immense!
The engine looks like a brand new engine just delivered from Ford but again it's his own hard work to get it like it is! just the oil cooler sandwich plate took him 10 hours to restore!!!! i'll be goin back over to see him in a few weeks so will take more pics then!
It should be ready for this years show season all going well!!!!

 

Stunning work !!

 

 

wow that is simply stunning! fair play to your mate thats a lot of effort

 

Thats unbelievable!

 

Superb

 

That is stunning, a credit to your mate, like twins have said is there a resto thread ? If not tell him to come on here and put one on !!!

 

No there is not a resto thread as my mate is not into computers at all and when he does need to use one he get's his kids to do it! lol.

 

awsome cant wait to see more!

 

stunning

 

absolutely gorgeous

you coulda done a resto thred for him??

 

Took a load of photo's tonight and it is gonna be a stunner!










More pics to follow

 

thats fucking mint

 

that is stunning

 

errr... real stunning example !! im actually smiling just looking at the pics !

 

an absolute credit to the owner mate. Its not very often that you get someone going to such lengths with special attention to detail. The fact that by the sounds of things most parts are restored is another credit to him, and to get them to such a standard is a real credit to his efforts.

Be great to see the car once finished in the flesh

 

very nice

 

Looks mint

looks stunning really does, but after all this hard work what is with the pistons not being touched, dont want a smokey lump to go with this piece of art.

 

That is going to be one lovely motor.

Fair play to your mate there has been some hours put into that.

Did it need much bodywork done etc before painting etc ??

As said above, thought he would have acid dipped the block and de-coked
the pistons etc, plus is that an old water ump or new one ??

Send him over to http://www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk/ as the lads over
there are spot on and love resto's etc. Great site too for info.

Is he showing it this year ie concours ???

cheeRS

Before the car was taken off the road it was running extremely well and the motor had not long been rebuilt so he is confident the internals are still sound and as far as i am aware its a new water pump.
He is hoping it will be ready for show season and if it is,it will be on the South Wales Group stand at shows! he is considering entering it into the concours awards but has'nt made a decision yet!
Here are some more pics.

 

jesus thats well mint concourse boys wil be getting worried now id say
