My Mk2 Fiesta New Carbon Fibre! *22/11/14* Page 8
**13/12/11**
Fitted the manifold tonight quicky just to see what it will fit like



Looks a bit close to the bottom outlet on the thermostate housing


I need to mess about with the turbo, can the snail and the exhaust down pipe be turned around

*** UPDATE 11/11/12 ***
Not updated this for awhile been soo busy with family stuff and work but doesn't mean i haven't been collecting bits
First up i had to send the exhaust manifold back to Ian at Area Six to have it modded slightly and i now have that back and fitted and sits perfect now

I also bought a V band adaptor to sort out the down pipe problem


I have also bought a adjustable pedal box


And bought some new OZ wheels been after a set of these for ages

Thats it for awhile :cool!:

Just a small update a few bits turned up yesturday
First up some Mk1 Golf Arches i didn't fancy going as wide as the MCR arches so thought these would look abit more suttle


Also bought some adjustable top mounts, just need to have the strut tops made and welded to the shell

Slowly getting there should be going on the spit in the next few weeks

**Small Update 29-04-13**
Last year me and my mate went half's on a roll over jig (spit) so we could restore our fiesta shells as best as we could well my mate finally finished with it so I was able to get my car on it ready for cleaning all the crap etc of the underside ready for welding and re protecting painting
To be able to bolt my shell to the jig I needed to remove the engine and all the running gear
When I pulled it out the garage on Saturday

Engine Removed

Mounted on the jig

And one of the shell rolled over I must admit I was sooo scared at this point!

That's it for now next update should see the underside cleaned up

Not much of a update really but so busy with work its untrue
I had a weekend off the other week which is rare and i made a start using a grinder and wire wheel to get the engine bay back to bare metal, but its so time consuming and i got fed up so i went a bought a compressor and snadblasting kit!






I have just made a start sandblasting the underside now will update on my next day off
