Its sitting on a piano trolley at the momment

 

Nice progress, keep the piccys coming

 

Nice one doooood!

 

Cheers guys

 

kl mate had a gsi i love em

 

Looking good Didn't this one start life as a 1.4 merit or something?? Look forward to seeing some primered up pics

 

Yeah, was a 1.4 merit but it had a GTE XE in it with the full 155bhp. She was an animal, and people used to laugh at it, but it soon wiped the smile off their faces

Primer pics soon

 

Good progress so far bud

 

Yeah, should be going in primer any day now

Its been delayed as its still at the old workshop and i had to spend a day replacing the axels wheels, steering rack just to get it rollingand steerable

 

looking good that workshop looks huge too

 

nice mate

what colour is it going???

 

She's staying white A nice crisp white, like the escort RS white

That workshop is small compared to the new one This is the new one

Space for about 20 cars down the side of the workshop aswell

Couple of friends of mine own and run it, they offered me a job there, train me up on filling and smoothing as they reckon i'm pretty good already, but i turned it down cos i am shit lol

Gonna pop down later and see whats going on as i usually do

 

vauxhall glacier white is brighter an nicer than ford diamond white!!!!!!!!

 

i would love to have mates with a workshop like that, you lucky bloke

 

Is it? Theres a series 1 down my road, and it looks mint! Much deeper and crisper than my white IMO. Perhaps its because mine wasn't looked after?

And yeah, it is good knowing people with workshops like that They said i can keep the car there as long as i need to finish the engine off too

 

would kill for a workshop like that,,,,,

cant do anything this time of year with our weather

 

Ł200 P/W and you can

The old workshop is going for Ł180 P/W

 

looking good snowy

have to agree with tony when he said glacia white is a brighter version than fords diamond white

mines be well looked after and allways looks ok IMO

but then saying that Tony Turbos ERST allways looks stunnind, and i "think" thats diamond white

 

Hmmmm there's a slight change of plan. He asked me a while a goabout colours, and i said, as a joke, 'black would look cool' So now he's got this black and to tell the truth, i love it

*NOTE TO SELF*

I've only spent the last 2 hours stripping my engine aint i. Me, like a turd, sold the wrong oil pump! I sold the later one with the bracket for tensioner to some bloke on ebay. Problem is, i sold it to him as the wrong one!

So the jist of it is, i sold the wrong oil pump, fitted the wrong oil pump, and and stuck for a late pump. On the other hand, the other geezer thinks he's got an EARLY pump, but he hasn't. He has my late one

I can't find his emails as ive got about 8000 stored, to do the swap so we are both happy!
