Well the title may be an understatment But i thought i may aswell put a few pictures up over the next couple of weeks to show my progress

The reason it all started ,was a cracked block so the engine was removed
and stripped.Then the block dispatched to mountune for nickesil liners .............then while waiting i thought i would get the bay painted,which then became bay and bonnet,which then became bay bonnet and body kit ,you get the idea.

Well heres the pictures
how it looked a few weeks ago


and heres were she is now

Dave cos 4x4 what else would you waste your money on

- Sim -

hmm there s not much, as perhaps zoo motorsport rear beam.

sounds like a nearly perfect engine, except the nos - for me.

want to build something simular in the winter, as the current (greens) setup is quite nice, even for the ring, but not the end of the story, and so i m collecting specs and parts lists

but your enginebay looks awesome, the HTT cover makes it sooo nice

escossie560

sim the story is never finished .as for the rear beam its on the list but the bottom end re build was not on the cards so that and the frame conectors are going to have to wait.....

- Sim -

yes Nikasil Liners are not so cheap, but I think then the engine is very very strong.... senseful...

My list is even longer than yours I think....

escossie560

Just picked up car from prep and droped it with my painter

Left him masking off for stone chip heres how she looked at about 8pm tonight















I also have my block back with the liners fitted and all moving parts are being collected in the morning from balancing so its getting built tommorow by gordon at street racers ,i will put up some pictures as it is being done

escossie560

Just a little update, its all gone fairly well this week end apart from a broken ring which is going to delay things a little , so tomorrow its order a new ring and hope it can be coated and back to me by next week end.
The upside of the extra time is, i now have time to feed my buffy side every thing is being removed from the under side and we are going to stone chip and then paint the whole floor pan and refurb beam ect.

a couple of pictures of the progress






gordon from street racers giving up his bank holiday to help me as im a pushy fooker,not that it did me any favours thanks anyway mate







and some cheeky fooker managed to catch me working,with an audiance not that they look interest ,thanks to Gordans partner Emma and daughter Giorgia who had to visit the work shop to see him

these are from yesturday i forgot the camera today so i will get some and post up the progress tomorrow

cos im worth it

Looking good mate, it will fantastic when your finished with it mate.

excellent work.

escossie560

Been fairly busy over last couple of days,car is now water tight again .....well nearly, starting to look like a car again





cleaned and painted front end suspension bits, could have done with powder coating but i will see how they hold out




and got busy on the underside the origonal plan was to clean then stone chip/underseal but after cleaning im leaving it as ford intended bar buzzing the sills and treating them as ford clearly could not be arsed and they are now a little bit scabby

before




after





getting there slowly will keep you posted

alanfordtw-15

well done lad i thought it was just a freshen up, you dont do things by halves. was the car featured in performance ford a few months ago, that looked the last car in the world that needed a respray! keep us posted

- Sim -

the car is really to good for a freshen up

but as someone said:

to much is never enough!!!

escossie560

You would be suprised what photos hide ,the tin worm was starting was starting to attack look at all the spray filler on the car they were all points that were not right either little blisters or dings so i could have ignored it and had serious problems in a few years or get on top of it now and with it being off the road any way it seemed to make sense.
there also the problem im a fussy fucker,hence the underside has now been stone chipped with a mind to painting it car colour





nice and black

sim your car is stunning and you want more

GTechR

That is just simply stunning mate...

redrsmk5

one of the best gets better and better

escossie560

And now in mallard green






redrs have you had your quarter painted yet


got kit back from paint now starting to look like a car

escossie560

Well im now getting exited as engine will be ready to go in friday so have the week end to go her up and running
Most of the trim is now on, bar the body kit,as i tend to be a bull in a china shop so that can wait till last






so full out for the weekend

alanfordtw-15

looks like youll end up with a concors car and you didnt even mean it, love the new arch liners
did you just spray mallard green paint over the black underseal? looks great

escossie560

arch liners have just been cleaned, just new screws and underside was stone chipped rather than undersealed, with gravex as it is paintable......dont rearly want concourse as i love driving it just want to try and keep the rust at bay
