Took delivery today of my new Project

The plan is to get it on the road asap and then in the autumn to do a restoration underneath and engine bay and maybe convert to 4X4.

 

 

Was considering this myself, Looks a lovely car, will be watching

 

Andy your fucking mate but I love you lol

 

Got the makings of a really nice road car

But just one question...










Which one will i be driving ?

 

shit the bed that looks like a nice clean 3door ,just how id have it altho id stay rwd whats the spec ?

 

I've got it on axle stands, no rot underneath at all
None in the engine bay




A brief overview of the spec:

Fully rebuilt engine by Joe Stephens using 200 block and running approx 400bhp

Leda Coilover Suspension

Ap Racing front brakes

Fully rosejointed

Brand new uprated bosch*fuel pump

New racing AP brake pads

 

Got a fibreglass front bumper
New pace intercooler
No interior
Oil cooler
Looks like original paint and panels
I think I have spotted 3 tiny and I mean tiny dents
Looks like I've got a good one

 

The wheels are 18" Raceline, I'm going to put them on here for sale


Have no idea what they are worth though.

 

Both mate

 

Looks a really nice car - the wheels are my all time favourite but mostly mags

If you put them up for sale take a picture of the rears as alloy and mags have differences

 

looks good mate

 

I will, how can you tell the difference?

 

Wheel's would look great in black









And on my focus

 

Anybody have any suggestions for which wheels to get?

 

Very cool project.

 

Sod selling the wheels mate! It looks awesome sittin on those!

 

the wheels are perfect for it mate

 

saw that on the bay. looked like a very good buy. think id be keeping the wheels & painting them gold. white 3dr's on gold rl7's look perfect

 

I just think 18" on a three door is too big.

 

No, keep 18s on the 3 door, no probs with them

 

Now that does look very clean and as said wheels look good on her

 

Couple of pics from underneath following steam cleaning

Under the wings


Rear floor

 

Inside the car

 

very clean 3dr for very little money. i think with a better advert it would have done alot more

 

just to add, imo it looks too nice to start chopping about to convert to 4x4

 

I know what you mean, a few people have said this now.

 

Sorted some wiring out tonight and installed so dynamat, look like a space ship no

 

Looking good Andy

jay

 

A bit more progress tonight

 

looking good

 

Coming on very nicely mate.
Looking good

 

Help needed please
I have driven it today and I am really disappointed
Boosts at 17psi (1.2 bar) but really late almost 5k, so sluggish bottom end and mid range.
It has a BD14 inlet cam and the exhaust cam is unmaked at the end, not sure what turbo itis but have a 48 rear housing and the front housing is marked up M27??
If it helps the inlet Id is 63mm pic below. I would like much more bottom end, any advice?

 

Great project fella!

 

That looks like a T34/63 not a 48 housing.

 

It's marked 48 on the housing

 

Oh and no Amal valve

 

Looking good so far mate.

 

don't know much about turbo's, but that is one fine looking 3door you have there!
