keep the comments coming

 

did you buy thay off a guy on ft.com?

 

andy130 yes its my mates shell but he was on fiestaturbo.com id been around the shell a while before he was willing to sell it, it really is a mint shell it just needs the floor undersealing and brakes pipes making up apart from that i have all the bits ready to rock n roll hopefully i should have it on the road in the next couple of week

 

you putting the green rubbing strips back on the sides? i think they look great with them on

 

That was in wennys garage.I take it he bought it off him.Thats a really clean shell.

 

yea my mate bought it off wenny last year, and yes i have all the green stripes for the sides thanks for the comments guys keep them coming

 

just a little update chaps sometime in january i have arranged for the mtx conversion to be done on my fiesta, also been in discusion with matt from m-tec regarding there v4system so the car will be making a trip down there once the zetec turbo is in. Sory for the boring updates but like to keep you all informed

Andy

 

Just to let you guys know im going to be uploading pics of my recent purchases keep the comments coming fellas

 

good luck with the project mate

 

Ahh Wenny's old shell was wondering what had happened to this, the lad he got it off spent an absolute fortune on it getting the shell to that stage its an exellent base for a project, thats my escos up on stands in front of it in a couple of the pics lol

 

yea my mate bought it off wenny but dint have space or time for it after he bought his pulsar, the shell is still in great shape just waiting for the weather to get better so i can underseal the floor ready for the road as for the rest of it i have all the glass fitted just waiting to get all my parts fitted to get it on the road ready for the shows, its nice to see some1 write on here who knows the shell you should tell wenny there is a thred on here would be good to see what he has to say about it cheers

 

Aye I will point him in the direction of this thread, he is registered on here

 

good man i know there hasnt been many exciting updates but there will be very soon just waiting for the weather and im guna get stuck in like i said earlier in the thread i do want to get a full show season out of it so hopefully i can have it finished in a couple of months

 

nice to see my little shell being put back together

 

it certainly is mate hould hopefully be on the road in the next couple of months depending on how things go, im going to be running a steady low boost for daily driving which im hoping to achieve around the 250bhp mark then guna create a map for trackdays which will hopefully give me around 320bhp so its going to be a busy couple of months but im should all be worth it
thanks for your comments

Andy

 

BTTT

 

my engine is completed and ready to be fitted so i will get a pic uploaded

spec
2.1 silvertop zetec
wossner pistons (86mm) and pec rods
acl bearings
arp fastners throughout
standard cylinder head with uprated valve springs
the car will eventually be running a gt28 but as funds are required for managment and an mtx conversion my t3 is going have to do to get the initial running in miles on the clock, once i have the money for the gt28 i am going to be running a tubular exhaust manifold and also i will uprate my injectors from beiges to vxr ones or something similar aswell as my custom inlet based on the rover one with custom plenum, also been in discussion with the a couple of guys regarding managment so that is to be done in the next couple of months to ready for the season anyway guys thanks for comments left so far im guna be getting more up to date pics of the shell now the weather is better

Andy

 

 

Right guys the engine is ready to be fitted just need to get the correct mounts then hopefully things should start moving and hopefully will have it ready soon
