Looks damn good MariS!!!!! I love your project... Keep it going!

 

thanks everybody for the comments.. nice to see that You like it

 

 

ABSOLUTY BEAUTIFUL M8 i would love to do sumthing like that to mine but i dont have he 1st clue of were or even how to start id just mess it up big time if i did it but it wud look brilliant

 

looks very very good did you spray the disks???

 

thanks a lot guys

tony: yes.. its aluminium silver painted.. the paint will be rubbing out on the brake places and the rest will be silver

 

Top stuff! When i first saw this i wasnt overwhelmed but looking at it all, its quality. I love it, those clio lights look great and im enjoying the wide arches and bumpers! Cant wait to see further progress, keep it up!!

 

Spudster: And this is not the finished shape I promise that it will be better. Now it looks like this:

 

front lip.. will be in black colour now and carbon in the future

 

 

 

My new small update. Now Im building the dashboard:












It needs a lot of filler and grinding.

 

Car looks great, I love the way it looks, very curious how it will be in one color
Nice dash also

 

very nice project you have there keep the updates coming .

 

Looks great reminds me of Daves s1 i did

 

Thanks guys.
Twins.. I remember it. I like this shape but the original mk3 square box with dials looks old. The mk7 dials will be better in my car I think.

 

Absolutely quality work there.

One question regarding your camera: the pics of you and your girlfriend look to be taken with a really good camera, but all your project pics are poor by comparison. Any chance you could get a good camera for some high detail pics of progress?

 

Thanks Paul.

Pics of me and my GF are taken by the same camera like pics of my car. Its about the sunshine and my shiftless hands Ill try to take better pics for the next time.

 

id just like to say i still love your car and your english seems to have REALLY improved whilst reading your updates!! its allllll good

 

Maris is real patient xD

 

Hi folk
Here are some pics of nws after a long time.
Now Im trying to build the exhaust manifold.












I need to get laser cut turbo flange yet.

I made the bracket for rear calipers but I will make another one for bigger Focus discs. It looks pretty small behind the big wheels. Its 253mm Sierra discs now but the bigger 280mm Focus ones will be better.

 

This is great progress looks the nakkers

 

exhaust manifold is finished.. it needs some surface finish and termotec band




and i am working on the inlet now.. pics later

 

Wow top work.Im loving the dash.

 

fookin mint work there Maris cant wait to see you finish this off, truly gonna be one of a kind

 

nice bit of work there mate

 

Thanks guys.. Nice to see so positive reactions.

Here is some pics of the preparing inlet. Next week Ill give it to welding.
EFi inlet from FRST

MFi inlet from XR3

Both

I want to modified mfi inlet to fit efi injectors, efi throttle body etc.





Now I have to prepare the fittings of fuel rail and made an adapter plate to fit to Zetec head.

 

This is a seriously cool project, when do you expect it to be complete?

 

hej mate,

Verry nice updates...

Nice work on the manifold

 

CarbonRick: Thanks.. I havnt a lot of time to work on it so I hope that I will finished engine in next year and I will try to prepare the body to painting. It would be complete in next two years. It depends on money and time.

Gregor: Thanks too. Hope that my engine will work so fine like Yours.

 

any more updates, i cant wait to see this finished

 

Elvis:
I'm rebuilding my flat so I haven't a time to work on the car now. The flat will be finished to the Christmas and I will continue with the car since the new year. This is how it stands in garage now.

 

I am loving this car it has to be one of my favourites at the moment.

 

this is a awesome project!



can i just ask wher you got the wheel arches from?


stick with it!!!!!!

 

he made them himself ive already asked and i still want some but i dont have an escort anymore

 

thats a bloody shame


they look "proper"

 

Hi folks after a long time. I have some small updates so I would like to show You.

I dont like how the rear brakes looks so I had an idea to get rear RS2k 2pot calipers, bigger discs and small spot calipers for hand brake. Discs I got 280mm from Focus ST170, calipers from my mate and now I need to design the spot calipers. I want something like HiSpec SVA spot calipers.



Calipers needs a good cleaning and powdercoating but it will look more better then classic sierra calipers.

Next thing Im making is inlet manifold. Now I have welded flange for FRST throttle body and flange for idle valve and next week I will give it for welding next bits like fuel rail etc.





Now I want to finish the inlet, make the spot calipers and rear brake adapters, try to build custom adjustable cam pulleys, paint the cam cover, the inlet and the fuel rail with VHT Wrinkle colour. Small steps to build my dream engine

 

Good to see you are still working on it

 

Thank You Dave. I was rebuilding my flat last year so I have no time and money to do something on car. But know the flat is pretty finished and works must go on. I have ordered few bits from UK so I am waiting for it. I need the wrinkle colour for some painting because we have no shop with these products, thermotec band for exhaust manifold (in UK its cheaper then in our country) and blowoff valve. I will never stop this project It will be a long journey.

 

impressive perfect WORK!

Keep the pictures coming
