Punter

well yeah so did I think that two but leaving it painted in the garage don't help and having kids and moving and getting married all takes it toll on the mk 2 fund lol.

and then I decided to change it from what I had 6 years later and i'm closest i've been in 5 years

Awesome mate

Punter

hi all, well i now have another update and not much has happen apart from going mad with the grinder lol

front end cut out



nosecone cut out





also my engine is on the dyno today so i should know later today my BHP.

Punter

Just an quick update on the car and engine.

I have been busy cutting out all the bits I don't need this will help with weight too I've got a few more weekends of tidying up then last bits to weld like seat bars etc when this is done she is ready to be painted AGAIN whoops

I've also had the engine run in and mapped well it will be done Monday I know it's at 430 BHP with no ignition at the moment this will top out and be restricted due the injectors at around 450-460 BHP which should be just fine.

Happy days

Punter

here are some more pics from the weekend cutting out session

Punter

well guys i pick my engine up today from Field Motorsports after its been run in and power run and set up and im a happy bunny.

she is running 462bhp and 441 Torque

Punter

Glenn it did look nice on them but im afraid they are gone with the rfx alloys too i needed wider wheels for the rear so need to look for some others.

also seen too many other Mk 2 with these on now and my reason for this resto is to change everything about the car.

turnover

At least you've got a proper axle to handle the power ,looking good

Punter

thanks Turnover well i did listen to you the last time we was chatting and took your advice on the axle and gearbox lol

your is tried and tested it seemed silly not to do it.

turnover

Arhh now I think I know who your are lol ,yes your rear end will be fine

Punter

turnover thanks for the Pm and I have uprated all the 4 link bars on the car.

with regards to the Gearbox I have the t5 tvr gearbox.

Punter

Sorry Turbo M will get some for you, just not much has changed lol apart from seat bars and lots of holes and bits cut out

Punter

seat mount in



holes cut out in nosecone for oil cooler

fitting of rear alloy to see what they look like 9J's 16" too big But like the style so down to 8J 15"

turnover

Well you can allways change the ring and pinion if the gearings no good,there cheap enough mate,will it be ready for classic ford show?

Punter
