im gonna refurb the 17s i have and do them in gloss black for my s1

 

nice one fudge,

wanna have a go at my arches

I was only taking the piss cos you said


'gonna do the arches, can i have my angle grinder back'


so i had a slightly different impression of what you were gonna do!

 

ha, you knows it.

no, i used the grinder to lower the sx lol

ill do yours but you will need the car resprayed cos it fucks the paint, cracks it and you use a heat gun in em too, so burns lol

plus your arches are prolly too rusty and will just crumble

 

thats looking good

i shall be getting the mag to see it painted not that i dont get it anyway

 

cant wait to see it in the mag and they really took the piss when u first lowered it

 

lol cheers guys

Little_Hoss

mags out tomorrow, im getting excited about seeing this now

 

 

 

hmm ME WANT!!!!!! err can i borrow the zetec turbo and slot it in my fester please ill give you it back when ive had some fun!

 

fezza rs, you could but, as i only picked the block up toaday, and i mean bare block, you wont get very far lol


quick update, the car went off to the bodyshop last sat.

and now its back at our lock up

not because its really shit, they want me to totally strip it, i mnea remove all engine and running gear, loom - everything

then they will collect it as a rolling shell on a trailor and tow it back to the shop

as they dont have the time or space to do it themselves.

fair enough, but im booked up for the next month lol so it will be done as and when lol

i also need a genuine 3dr bumper as the one i got they wont touch lol

i picked up my nicely machined block, polished crank, and bottom end bearings today too. so just need a couple of hole drilling in the block for oil return and breather then i can start on the buld.

ooooh exciting stuff! its all happeing now

hopefully get my one off flywheel this w/e too.

 

Stuff mate

When is the estimated time of compleation?

 

fuck knows


as soon as some fukka gives i Ł10k to pay for everything

small update, still need a 3dr bumper lol

the block



a slight over bore lol





finished result




got the head back too, but no pics of yet.

 

looking good, engines gonna be done soon

 

nice block, who's doing the body shop stuff

 

Lee, the place who do my machining are called M&J Engineering in westbury, they do a shit hot job and are very reasonable too.

OK

more pics!

got bored in the que for donny show last week so i abused the hire car

now you see it,


now you dont




got busted by the cops too but they let me off

anyway, back on topic lol

got my big valve head back from specialised engines...

looks good here, but need to take it to the machine shop to be done properly as it looks like they forgot to cut the 3rd angle in the zorst valve seats


big valves


dont think they ported it either, just polished up the ports




polished crank from M&J


and heavy duty big ends, and std mains, again from M&J


and then on sat Doug (Garage19) delivered my one off flywheel. its a cossie style one to fit a zetec crank, weighs in at 5.5KG and looks the fucking don
big big thanks to Doug!

Bling


rear with crank sensor pick up ring


integral ring gear too


and thats it for now.
will hopefully have the engine and running gear off the car this w/e so its another step closer to going to the body shop for the paint job

chaya

 

arse im sure it said machining the 1st time i looked

paint job is being done at weston accident repair centre, part of chippenham accident repair centre, but in weston

 

nice,
you got some expensive looking stuff there

 

too fucking right mate

hence the reason im fooking skint

 

Love the flywheel!

 

top stuff mate, its gonna be a bitch!
