Rapid Ford 3dr and Esc - Flocked interior pics
 
I've been browsing in here looking at all the pics and thought that I'd collect a few of mine together and put a post up.

sorry about the order but the car has been done for a while now and I didn't have the camera while I was doing a lot of the work so its gonna be hard to get them into a logical order, but here goes.......

Here's my little helper

Fun first - I needed some pics for some adverts I had to do

When it was first done :cool:

some other random pics

https://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d...r/DSC03207.jpg

Then I thought what about a bit of aeroquip and polishing :cry:

then a bit of carbon

https://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d...r/DSC04899.jpg
https://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d...r/DSC03374.jpg

I thought the wheels looked okay but had to run spacers, I "lost" a wheel on my xr4i snapping all the studs so I decided I don't like spacers anymore so changed the wheels that were the right offset. Still not too sure about them but they will do for the moment.

9x18 alloys

Now I'm swapping the managment over and sorting out a rear beam gotta cage it and various other bits which I'll update the post with pics of.

Hope you like the pics and let me know what you think :top:

fun!!

Car looks class mate, i dont like black wheels but they look hard on her, way better than the rs wheels :cool:
i cant figure out what you mean though, have you made it rwd already or are you just starting to do it?
doing the exact same thing to my mallard escos soon and was wondering what your parts list for the job is?
this is what i think ill get away with:

2wd gearbox
2wd front cross member
2wd front suspension and sterring rack
2wd sump
custom propshaft

i know far more extensive lists have been made and used inc. rear beams diff ect. but these parts look like they'll do the job
any toughts welcome

4wd is for girls :blabla:

Alan s1 05-03-2007 08:17 AM

Dan im sure i went to yours for a rst metering unit when you were living in London ;) am i hinking this is the same car :top:

It runs 225's as standard and I am running 235's on the back. It has got a huge wing on the back and it is rear wheel drive. It grips quite nicely. Also it doesn't have the maintenance and big bills like a 4x4.

Donuts are fun anyway! :blabla:

The back wheels look a bit small though but they'll do for the moment :DD:

A few other bits and pieces are needed but you have got most of it listed. Just the Oil Pump and spray bar and engine arms, steering rubber - can't think what else from the top of my head.

4x4 has its place (in the fields pulling us 2WD'ers out)!! :cry: :cry:

Escos Jam 15-06-2007 08:41 PM

Did you specify JIC fittings when ordering the header tank or did you mod it to take them mate ??

Dan@Rapid-Ford 16-06-2007 11:53 AM

I supply the JIC fittings and Bailey weld them on when they make the tank for me (for an extra cost).

I've got various sizes in stock if you are after any of them.

AGAR-COSWORTH 16-06-2007 07:12 PM
