So again a little update..
The bodyshop where the car will get his respray has vacation now. So car wil go there next week. For that time i got some little things to do. So again some packages arrived and I just bought a GRS intercooler 2nd hand.

Here some pics from some work from the past week




Does anybody know who you can set timing without having the arrow on the pully? I have the degree bow, but don't know what to do now?

Gregor

Looking verry nice mate !

Red_bull

Car is @ the body shop at the moment. Hope that it will return this weekend! Can't wait 4 it to come home!!

Red_bull

Rear Suspension is already fitted maybe tomorrow the front will be done. Depents on how much work school will be.

MattyRST

That looks stunning !!! well done

Gregor

Hej Mate,

Saw some pics on Fordworld..

Looks verry nice.
Now the assembling can start
should be a nice one p

Willem

Looking great! Your'e really doing it right! BUT! where are the holes for the bodykit? Did I miss something or do you have to drill in your fresh paintwork??

Red_bull

Yeah They still need to be drilled. I will do it later because i only know the hight of the sideskirts when everthing is fitted the right way. The sideskirts have deformed in the time they have been stalled. So i didn't want to take the risk of the arches not matching nice with the sideskirts so the holes will come later on. No problem there won't be damage on the bodywork i will take care of that

Thanks for the comments

Daviet

very nice work mate
going to be like a brand new car

Red_bull

Again some pics to show some of the progress that we made this weekend. Still had some things that weren't fixed or still needed to be bought like, nuts & bolts and the 1 mm spacers for the front brakes. But now the Front and Rear are finished. Next is the engine that will go in, but i will need to do some things before we can drop it in.

Here are the pics that i took

Don't take a look @ the wheels they still need to go to for a respray


Love the front brakes! They look stunning imo!






Back on the ground

The Engine is finally in the car

Rab

That is STUNNING!!!!!!!

Red_bull

Now the engine was in we could start to work and see some progress. Finally things start to come together and it's getting in to the right way.

But also i have some small problems to that maby some one can help with!

#1 I have bought a GRS intercooler with a 10 inch fan. I also have a oilcooler and raised the bonnet. Will this be enough to keep the temps down?

#2 Is there anybody or a company that sells the mounting for your rad when you have a full front IC? They only come with new one? Can't you buy them alone?

#3 I have installed the tank again but now i have a cable that i can't remember where to go? it's the cable that's hanging lose on the photo!



Now some pics of the progress @ the moment
Exhaust in place




Engine with other parts installed


Connecting the cable loom


IC with new front bumper for fitment


Today some parts got a fresh layer of paint and will be dry tomorrow so probably there will be some nice progress again. Also i will go to the dealer one of these days to order some bits and pieces to finish it of nice!

Will keep you updated

Cool project

RSRoy

Cool color, I think it can't be any more red that this. Stunning

Red_bull

Oke, Update time!

Some time went past and i had time to finish some little things that always stayed unfinished. I really hated that so time to finish some things off. Like fixing my loom. Some bits had been cut or just broke off Brought my IC to someone to let them weld on some new strips to mount it nice to the chassis. Finally got my rad in place so also i could connect all the waterhoses. Bought all new hoseclamps, and damn those are expensive if you need quite a lot of them

So alot of time wasted with looking how things had to be and where i could get all the parts and what was the best looking.

BUT IMO WHERE ALMOST GETTING THERE

The Startmotor has to be connected and some hoses have to be fitted. The IC has to be fitted and i have to find some place for my oilcooler. Then i have to finish off some of the electrics and fuellines to the petroltank and i'm almost there to make a test run with the engine!

So time for some pics to let you guys get a idea of the car at the moment

Mess from the loom in the car


New New New






All new clamps and clips ect


Hoses connected




Rad in place


Easy way to check the electrics when you didn't label your loom when you started *i can allmost kill myself for doing that, but didn't know what i started at the beginning*

Finally the IC is on the car and with the fan. Have to fasten the top, but now everything is like i wanted it.

i guess that won't be a problem, just check once in a while. Or,, turn the actuator 180degrees..

Looking good, but hurry! it's almost Langraaf

Red_bull

haha i know but it won't be finished on time. when i turn the actuator the hoses will be to short! I have a bussy period now with school starting again. Next year i will be on the concours trying to go home with one of the prices!

I just found some old photo's of my car on a meeting.





Looking forward to sunday to go to EFE and maybe coming back with some new gifts for myself

Red_bull

Update time!

now there's progress again

Engine will be running in a short time, i hope everything will be going well and no problems or failures :O

Also started on the inside putting the dash in

Just look at the pics

changed the position of the fan, because i couldn't close the bonnet earlier


Oilcooler mounted


Still need to give the hoses a nice place and tiewrap them nice so they don't hang lose


Headlights are in again


Bumper is on again, but i need to cut a little bit away because of the fan, so it doesn't fit nice atm


And the dashboard is in again, a different one then i had, because this one has no holes



i hope that i can tell you guys during my next update that the engine is running fine

wess-rs

Very very nice mate!!

Red_bull

today some one helped my out with all the wiring in the car and now the mess is gone! really pleased with that! also my new park plugs gone in NGK bcr8es ones, recemended by alot of people here. So ill give them a try!

In the comming days the IC will need to go a little bit back and make that fit; fix the wiring and the dash; pick up my vacum hoses when they arrive and lots of other little things before we can try to start

Berry RST

GREAT RST

rostill2007

looking good

Red_bull

didn't update the thread for a long time, because of i have done alot but not much progres to see. But i think it well enough time for a nice new update. I'm still working on the engine those things are hard to get right when you have problems to start them!

Hope tomorrow brings something goods for me

So now the update in pics

IC is in place and fan has enough space the turn



This is the car outside just for a good overview on things.


inside of the car










I already done something on the audio that will come in the car, but i have no pics yet.

To do list is:

Let engine run
Getting all side skirts and everyting on
finish milion of little things
finish off inside of the car
also i don't know if this snap off steeringwheel will stay in the car. I'm not sure about the looks, but the system works wel as anti theft..
