I think its about time I started documenting the work I am doing on my Mondeo.

so far I have striped the interior.

moved the battery to the boot.

fitted a nice steering wheel.

bought the seats (Forza 2000) with Luke harnesses.

fitted the induction kit.

ported and polished MAS and throttle body.

slowly fitting all the switches back together where the dash will be.

 

What have you done? lol whats the plans for the mondildo?

 

mondingo you mean!! yea what are plans only ever seen a mk1 si 4x4 before

 

4x4's are quite rare lol, what are you doing??

i always wanted to build one of these into a toca rep, that would be cool or do something Mr reyland had done cossie LOL

 

Hi I have one of these but It need a front coil spring o/s and I can't get one anywhere.Do you know where I can get one?

Pm me

 

im not sure what direction im going in, whether it be rally or track. but for now it will be for the snow when it comes.

 

there is one being broken on ebay at the moment.

 

its a ghia. was. lol

 

I have a man coming at the weekend to price me up a sheet ally dash, and rollcage.

 

rollcage will be 38mm 16gauge steel.

 

i think these will munch up the snow

 

out working on the car today. managed to kind of fit the drivers seat, it will do for the MOT but ill wield it in properly over xmas. I have also ordered the blanking plugs for the EGR. door cards should have been on but my Ł6 rivet gun gave up.









full day tomorrow more updates then.

 

rare car i would of kept it standard looking but good luck with it m8

 

half pulled off the egr and picked up the blanking plugs to do the rest when I get some time in the light. spoken to a friend who is breaking his frst so thats the inlet sorted.

 

inlet manifold is on just need to modify the throttle body, ill get some pics tomorrow.

 

dose any one know if the blacktop exhaust manifold will fit the silver top?

 

Nice lol will keep an eye on this

 

efi and throttle body modified and fitted.







next I have to work out how to fit the maf and air filter.

 

Why have you fitted that inlet?

 

better flow, it doesn't have the air injection system, I like the room it gives me and the look.

 

Who told you it was better flow?

 

i wont doubt that it looks better, but i wouldnt be so certain its better flow.
good luck with the car

 

read it some where, its the HO one so makes sense, as the old plastic one had all the tags and burrs in it. and the new one is ported and polished. is it not better flow then?

 

So are you gonna do plenty of track days with it then.

 

Rightly or wrongly... I'm probably going to keep an eye on this project.


Cheers,
Grant

 

I'm undecided as yet, not sure if I wanna go for track or rally.

 

I know its a bodge but it will have to do for now. I had some trouble getting the throttle to open properly but I got there in the end, ran it up to full temperature and all was good, ideals fine.



I bought a new rivet gun so i could put the door cards on.





and I fitted the harness.

 

Wow you have really changed the car - what your doing looks good, and no doubt you will ahve no problems in the snow

 

the way you have mounted them harnesses is dangerous, the load is not going to be spread where it attaches to the seat belt wire and in an accident it could or would slice through it, you must mount it through the floor with backing plates underneath to spread the load.

steve

 

Is it though? it is central, and the bolt and bracket that hold it in are meant to hold the back passenger seat belts. it seamed the best way to do it.

 

ill see what the MOT man says. I was thinking about cutting a seatbelt and threading the harness through, if you get what I mean.

 

the key is to spread the load you have the belt attached on an area about 3mm wide, you must change that...
loook at the seat blt anchors you took off they spread the load on the wire far more effectively

steve

 

the harness mount is bad, i would change that.
in the p100 i drilled two 10mm holes in the floor and welded 15/20cm 1/4 inch plates underneath with captive nuts and mounted them.


the seat mount looks abit basic aswell.. if thats the word to use :')
if you cant afford the proper mounts just adapt the standard ones, that way the seat still moves.
ive done this in both the p100 and the mk1 in the same way, just two large adaptor plates that bolt to the seat mount where the standard seat would and holes to allow the bucket to be fitted.

 

That seatbelt is silly dangerous! Please sort it out before you get hurt!

 

sorted ill et some pics later.

 

here is a small update.











Seats are on proper runners.

strut brace will get done in the morning.

 

coming on..

 

had a good crack at it today tidying up the wiring and mounting the fuse board and a couple of other bits.







it didn't even look that foggy until i took these photos.

 

vented grooved st170 300mm front discs, braided hoses, Mk3 mondeo calipers and red stuff pads on order.

 

brake upgrade, Mondeo Mk3 calipers, grooved ST170 discs, Goodridge braided brake lines. (photos to come.)
