xr4x4rs, lookin good mate

 

Bloody hell mate you have been busy!!!

Dont you just love buying parts and bits All those lovely new parts waiting to be used

Looking very good now and is starting to resemble a wicked looking cabbie!

 

new bits are great mate

no getting your hands dirty from 14yrs old of crap on parts

just recieved my new fuel tank of tricky off here top bloke andspot on tanks aswell

also got a fuel pump cradle of as auto specialists and new rubbers from ford

what a pain to build just need some washers to mount to main bracket

bleed brakes up last nite and now the thing is very hard to roll also turbo box in

so will have to put engine in at the weekend so it can move easier

thanks for comments

 

You can still get ALL the fuel pump brackets from Ford inc the rubbers!

Finis codes are: 6168055 & 6167524 & 1502836.

I've been wanting to bleed my brakes to, but have resisted until the engines in

 

ford said they could only get the main mount with the rubbers built in

not to fussed as the new one is highly polished so bit of bling underneath for mot tester

if you have made new brake pipes up mate id bleed them before engine is in as my back left leaked at the union where it meets the braided line lucky enough i left enough on the pipe incase it did leak anywhere but if you havnt got enough it means a whole new pipe from front to back

which is grief with engine there

get an easy bleed thats al i used and the pedal is solid as im doing this on my own bar bodywork

 

I have braided brake lines front to back mate, done away with that copper stuff.

I might have a go at them later then

 

cool

i went copper much easier and cheaper

 

Cheaper yes, easier no
Not with the braided

 

man ya dont mess about gr8 work any word on ya sierra ??

 

the sierra is sat on my drive still waiting for this quote off the bodyshop but shouldnt be long before it goes to get finally painted after 7 months

heres an update of the cabby which isnt far off complition should be out and about in the nxt week or so in that means i can finally finish my new engine for the 3i and get that in

nice new fuel tank and pipes





filla neck all cleaned and painted



new fuel puum cradle off ford and a stainless carrier off as autos
this is very bling and worth the money

also new rubbers and nuts in there aswell from ford



middle exhaust bracket

i bought this 5 yrs ago for my 2nd rst but never fitted it lol



now that i have fitted a power hood i carnt seem to get hold of the panel that covers it

so heres a s start of a little modification im doing to make my own cover out of fibre glass, ill update on this when i have finished also doing a tailgate cover aswell in fibreglass

You dont mess about do you

 

heres a couple of pics of the front bumper with its trial fit before primering

that looks rather mean and it suits them wheels (sierra cos) what colour are you getin them powder coated

 

im not having the cossy wheels on mate

i got the chrome multi sopkes off the mondeo going on

but as the chrome is half hanging off having the wheels powder coated white

 

been busy there m8 i will have 2 pop rpund and have a look

 

right not much left now as the car is on the road and ive been using it since monday

it passed its mot with not a problem, mot tester was screwing as he couldnt find nothing wrong lol

all thast left to do is wait for ford to get my out door window strips in and its finished

so now just waiting for logbook to come then going to sell up

so will be getting gold membership first then proper advertisment with full spec

hope you like people

i think it turned out quite well and so far everywhere i go it always gets commented on how clean it looks

 

WTF!!

Why you selling mate?

 

im going to be taken on another project

the black escort in my sig is in the garage getting ready for iys efi turbo engine fitted

then that will be going also scraping the sierra as i have lost interest in that now due to being over a year to try and get painted

but want to buy a new project and all will be revealed soon and which should appeal to everyone still ford though

so someone will be getting a mint cabs soon as a very reasonable price

i dont want to sell and everyone says i shouldnt but this project has really caught my eye and im going to go for it no matter what

 

the cab look well nice mate
cant beleive u wanna sell it!!!!!!!!!!!

 

that cabby looks amazing but plz plz done scrap the sierra finnish it would be wkd anyway i await some other photos of ya cab

 

nah the sierra is going mate

but will be looking for a very clean xr4x4 as i want one as a run around and will put a cosy in it again

but the new project ive always wanted to do so will crack on as soon as it arrives



some pics up at the weekend if the weathers nice

 

fooking superb m8! Quality job!

 

dude thats looking so nice just have to ask where would i be able to pick up 1 of them front skirts?

 

the skirts are the rs valances that were extras from ford

you can pick them up but dont see many advertised

there was someone selling the front and rear on here but dont know if there still available

look in parts for sale section and have browse through the pages mate

ive just done te last little finishes to it

bumper inserts and brand new outer door window seals from ford

what a difference the seals make



will post some pics up when its nice wethaer but having a few probs at the minute with water issues so need to sort that now

 

Fair play Rich, never knew you was into it this much.


Be interesting to see it, if and when you bring it over.


Big Respect!

 

weas over all last nite mate

every car ive owned has been a ford and ive built all my own cars bar my first saf cosworth

this is my 6th rs turbo
