Only had the parts 18months


taken the mfi head off ready for the efi head



got a bit more done today but ran out of batteries on the camera ill put more up tommorow [/img]

 

looking good!!! keep the pics comming!!!

 

ill do more tommorow, ill take some pics of the converted loom and stuff tommorow should help some peeps, might strip the whole engine bay down and give it a lick off paint too just to freshen it up

 

 

done some more on the car today, this is a really scary thing to do to your own car, definately not for the faint hearted!!

Already suffering doubts as to whether ive cut the right bits out

 

Kay. Definatly in the right place. Loads of the guys have done the EFI conversion.
Name your post in regards to this if your unsure of any thing.

 

some more pics

the converted efi loom ready to go on


stripped more of the mfi out




always wanted a rear engine car


bit of rust where the bumper mounts, gonna get that done


after unwrapping the loom and tryin to figure out where to cut


not sure what this is any help appreciated, ive left it wired up though

 

not sure what to do with the two lives from the battery either, i assume you change these and connect to the efi loom, or do you leave the one on which powers the interior and lights etc???


my new summer run apound

 

Reversing lights.

 

thats the reverse light sensor

 

cheers guys, was tryin to figure it out today

 

good luck mate will have some nice chatter when its done

 

good going mate, any advice or help then just pm me

 

I'll be attempting this conversion myself soon, keep the pic's coming

 

right what started a an efi conversion has now turned into a full on rebuild of the entire car!!!!!!!
new front panel

lightweight interior

brand new bonnet


engine bay in a process of prepping

Crap ABS removed and a new pipe made up to the offside t piece the nearside was shortened and reused

new battery tray in the process of hiding it wish i had put the battery in the boot now!!!

outside has been painted


this is such a time consuming process and bloody expensive

 

Lookin quality mate, those wheels are

 

looks

what profile are those tyres

 

tyres are 40's mate, the wheels look bigger than they are because the spokes go right to the edge of the wheel

 

looking good mate

 

looks really good mate, take it by the first pics it had a new front panel in the past? i would spray loads of wax in the crossmember so it doesnt rot out now that its all been so niely painted, well done and keep the pics coming!
cheers mark.

 

 

Nice work there

 

no it hasnt had a front panel before, but for some reason the front of the car was mat black??

 

cant wait to see her finished keep the pics comming a live too far away to ever see it for real.always wondered what those focus wheels would look like they look smart

Brian

 

cheers for the kind words guys, im spraying all the areas like arches and underneath and engine bay etc, the finish doesnt have to be 100% saying that though im really pleased withthe outcome, couple of runs and a few dry patches but on the whole a really good finish, the paint is Ł50 quid a litre so that helps.
just in the process collecting the required parts for a 300bhp zetec

yeah rudey its time since i had the bits off you, hows the little one?

 

its all comming together now lad

 

Glad to hear that mate , what you doin with yours now rudey?

Nice work done there, and nice things to come I guess, like the way undercoated the car, nice 'n smooth, not the bumpy look I usually see with undercoating.... What did you use??
