Zetecfiesta

dismantled it:


put the missing bolts back onto the gearbox from when we missed the 1st time around!


new shiny rad:


new shiny actuator:


pic of crossover pipe which i painted up then sanded down the finns and ford logo, will probably do that on everything else as im not it chrome that much:


rad fitted:


fans fitted, only the kenlow may be staying on at the mo, finding it hard to get the other to fit with the intercooler:


intercooler, going to have the staps moved and rewelded so they are in a more suitable mounting position:


back together:

Zetecfiesta

i now have foot well lights! not a very exciting mod but its a nice little feature, ive also got them wired up to my alarm so when i disarm it all the interior lights turn on for around 45seconds, also turns my headlamps on as well, the bright hid kit makes it great for finding in a carpark!

turbo having a little wash mith my mates detailing equipment before it gor painted:

err all dirty


mmm soapy:




shiney at the show

Zetecfiesta

these are the recaros i won off ebay:



New Ecu



New front indicators:

Zetecfiesta

none of rear quater though i forgot to take em but we do have these:






how cool does that look?! got my spotlamps back on and my orange indicators, love it!

Zetecfiesta

ok so on the weekend i got slightly carried away lol!

i started by taking out the seats:


and then i got all my recaros together:


and then i attacked em all:





so now i ve got one set of mint recaros and 1 rough set to sell on yey!!!

and then i still had a bit of spare time so i did this:



and ended up with this:



how pimping does look lol!!!!

thats not my alloy so dont wory its just one of my many spares with some spare paint slapped on it to see how we could get them looking!


what i really did was this:




basically sanded down all the rough bits, chips flaking paint etc and primered em up, it is currently sat with silver paint on and its first layer of lacquer but coz its a bit cold im waiting to finish it off properly!

so enjoy until thus when i do some more work!

Zetecfiesta

phew well im up to date now lol! i'll keep it up to date more often its easier than doing all that!

fatboy billy

redoing the inlet though not sure what to actually do with it!!!




the crossover has had the turbo lettering sanded back and is now silver looks really good!

Zetecfiesta

cheers!

got a new problem now though, my map sensor is broke! tried dismantling it but obviously they are sealed up rather well, i do have another map sensor same style case and everything as the grey one which i believe is a 4bar map sensor but its black and has a different code on it, its from a FRST is this also a 3bar map sensor or not?

Zetecfiesta

well i finaly got started on my other alloys so 1 is finished the other still needs sum work:






a cabrio that got broke kindly donated parts:



no more ABS woooo!!

also donated sum newer koni adjustables:

currently sat like this waiting for me to put back together:


and i also got the paint out again and sorted my bumpers:






im more impressed with the black stripes than anything at the minute feel its made a real change to the car!!

jonnyrsturbo

looking good mate keep @ it

Zetecfiesta

Well i better update this as i have had a lot of work done and its nearly ready!
slightly out of order as i missed this bit before:




ta da all gone:


left it hanging:


so ended up with this mess:




but after a bit of these two:



got it like this:





it doesnt look much in the pictures but it was soooo much cleaner in the engine bay than before, no grease or dirt.

then we started prepping:




bit of sanded down parts:



the plan is to fill over as many unused holes in the engine bay and give it a lick of paint before putting the new engine back in.!

Zetecfiesta

for sale for reasonable price will offer finance if needed haha!!


inlet back on after being powdercoated:



cover modded for cam sensor:


bottom pully on, although its causing me headaches at the mo as its not had enough machined off and everywhere was closed so will get it done 2moro:


alltogether:

Zetecfiesta

ok so then we lowered the car right down on a jack:



bit of manouvering:


and its in (kinda):


woooooo so just need to go machine shop 2moz and i will be rocking!

Zetecfiesta

engine is actually in




Drive shafts and hubs rebuilt:




lining parts up to check fitment:




still might change crossover pipe though not sure on it yet!

nwe loom started to be put in, its comming in near the battry tray and is going to be hidden as much as possible:

Zetecfiesta

im hoping for it to be very soon, near enough everything is in place now, its even on its own wheels:





its more of my mates job now with all the wiring to do!

Zetecfiesta

then i started worrying the throttlebody wouldnt fit with the bonnet down:

Zetecfiesta

there doesnt look like much work has been done here is wiring loom messy and not finished:


and hear it is all done:


as you can tell there doesnt appear to be much different mainly cause all the wiring loom is hiden anyway! lol

here are my brakes, they look HUGE:


heres the brains behind the operation actually doing some work:


and finally it got its first bit of fresh air today, although it didnt make it under its own steam i don now have a fully working electrical system:

Zetecfiesta

again doesnt look like much but all loom is now tidied away properly, fuse box is back in, most of pipework is done, front bumper is off to be hacked across the back to get rad fan intercooler combo to fit as well!

OMG we nearly have a working car!!!!

Pics from today and yes we have been busy lol,

so i ftted the header tank:


and the swirl pot:


then we bolted up the bonnet:


then fitted the intercooler and adjusted the bonnet and then bumper:


checked that it all closed ok:


then the headlights:


all nice now:



we are also gonna get a scoop made for head light for on drag strip as it will look mean as fook!


as you can see the filter is mounted right behind headlight:


woooo nearly done got to figure out how to get my spotlamps back on, need sum jubilee clamps and my sensors and shes a working car again!!!!

Zetecfiesta

and thats were im up to as of fri! it all fits just and i mean just lol, think im going to be bolting the spots to the bumper its self or making up some new brackets for it,

after the sensors have arrived and its a running car its going to be fitted with the autostart system and power steering, just because we can lol also got plans for a set of astra gte clocks!

Henrikmk3

Nice work !

Spudster

Just had the carpet out on mine today and was expecting to see something like that but wasnt as bad as this, nice to see you have done a good job with it.

Looking like you are doing well with all this mate. All engine work looks quality. Cant wait to see some photos of it outside in sun running smoothly. Keep it up.

Zetecfiesta
