Hi I`m another norwegian joining your forum

I have a cosworth I`ve owned for 5 years now. It`s been under restoration the last 4 years.
This is the real deal with "only" original 909 motorsport parts.
The car is an original cosworth and the only plate whos been changed is the roof plate because of the original sun roof was removed back in the days when it became a rally car, I belive it was in 1988.

The car was feuterd in fast ford in 2008.

The car has got a new seqv. gearbox and plated 9" x-trac mag. diff, wrc driveshafts, rebuildt engine ++ under my ongoing restoration.






























A couple of picturs of some of my former cars

Thanks mates..

The car is a ongoing project and I will keep you posted in here

 

very nice 3 door rallycar

 

Awsome. Nice selection of cars you have had. I like the GpN Esc Cos!

 

Gorgeous selection of cars
It's like a dream car garage
The black RS 500 looks stunning

 

You have had some stunning cars matey.

 

nice collection and i remember the feature on the 3 door your restoring. its looking lovely

 

What a collection! Definately going to keep an eye on this. How hard is it getting genuine 909 parts these days?

 

Thanks for nice comments

To get hold on new original 909 motorsport parts are tricky.
But... there are some people who have stored away. Spareparts from old rally teams from the good old days.
I buy some parts here in Norway, some in Uk, Italy, Spain and actually Poland.
But really I try to restore as much as I can, I have all the orignal parts it just need some TLC. I Have a barrel og accid to clean the parts or I blast them. Then I zinkplate or paint/powdercoat the old parts.
I like to keep this car as close to original as possible, so I`m wondering if I should mount a a getrag box in the car again... we`ll see

 

Very nice! Look foward to updates

 

i want that focus cozzy

 

Yeah I'd love to see some more pictures of the focus if you have any?

 

Here you go, enjoy

 

Gorgeous

 

 

Awsome pics of awsome cars

 

Thanks I really miss some of my old cars when I look at the pictures... But I need to move one to try new ones.. A RS 200 is the ultimate dream.

 

very nice collection

 

blimey my model is similar to your 500

 

I have this one in my garage to and use it for sunny days

 

I have dismanteled the radiator fans today to clean, paint and add some "forever black" to the plastic.
The wiring is diffrent then standard cosworth, it`s one cable to each fan. So you can choose to over ride the fans one or both depending on temprature(standing at idle speed etc.).

I also rubbing the car down since it been standing for 4 years the paint has got very dirty.
I have decided to go for decals on the car, and a company in UK are making them for me.

It will look like this


I also have the same mag. wheel as on the picture, only mine is painted in gold.

 

Thanks for the updates, that is an amazing collection of cars you own/owned.

 

Fair play your taste in cars is awsome!!

 

Quality car! Could you possibly get some pics fo the 909 chassis extension legs please? Looks ace in that rally pic too!

 

very nice cars keep the updates coming

 

absolutly love your fords! the focus and group n escort are stunning!

why is it that everyone in norway has the best cosworths!

 

I`ve been working on my front bumper who I broke driving of the trailer the last time I used the car 4 year ago.
I tried to plastic weld it 15-20 cm, but no luck The plastic just started to boil and separated into oil and some hard substance and didn`t glue the bumper back together.
So then I used fiberglass on the back and I think this will hold it together. I will take pictures later on.
What would be the price for a used bumper in the Uk if I can`t repair the old one? Any one have a spare one?

I also got the decal kit, it look awsome and I got A1 service form the supplyer



"New" wrc driveshafts to fit with the 9" diff



And some new gauges for security reason, etg and lambda.



I will contionue to rubb down the car, before I will put on the decals.

 

I love that RS500....

 

The car was in really bad shape when I bought it back in 2007.

Before


After


When I bought the car I removed the rust underneat, and put one some 2K primer in a hurry.
So the next plan is the take away the rear suspension and do it in a propper way. And refurbish the rear suspension as well.

When I got it


After a "quick" job wiith the grider and the 2K




I seen some of you guys have done a really good job underneath your car, so I will try to copy this

 

Thanks, me too, I regret that I sold it. But I found out that one project at a time is enough. So the grp.A car is rarer then the RS 500, and I like to use/abuse my cars from time to time to so then I kept the gpa and sold the RS 500.

Does anyone know where I could get hold of the orginal grey colour of the AP calipters?
