looks good mate, take it your a spray painter?

dj_yd

thanks mate
no i'm not , just something i learned thru the years, first i wasn't that good, now i amaze myself how the finishe looks like :d
i don't like to pay people for things i can do myself lol

dj_yd

this week i prepaired the enginebay for the 2.0 zetec to go in
and i modified the plate that sits between the engine and the gearbox, because of the starter location in the mondeo at the rear

the original plate and the little peace that needs welding on the plate


welded and painted



than i could connect the gearbox and the engine(i'm using a old camcover for the instalation)



on it's way to his new home


and the engine is in , but no pictures of it yet

dj_yd

i derusted my GAZ coilovers, and sprayed them, they are only 1 year old, but they where verry rusted , i blame it al on the roadsalt in the past cold winter


and i pollished the front struttops, i'm not sure i'll keep it this way , but it will do for now



hopefully i can start the 2.0l this weekend

dj_yd

last week i'v been bussy
the front susspension back in GAZ shocks and fiesta st brakes


and the 2.0l in :twisted:



i cleaned the front angine mount and painted it


and al build up





i need to clean it , i see dust in the pics

than came the big moment :mrgreen:
first remove the fuse from te feulpump and the sparkplugs, and crank it over a few times

sparkplugs and feulpumpfuse back in
ok here we go
i turn the key and .... hu hu hu hu..... hu hu hu hu
like i was thinking a flat battery
got my parents focus and conected the jumperleads and tried again

it started the first time :twisted:
and than switched it of again, i'm running piper cams and i have to run them in at +- 2500rpm for 20min, i couldn't do this as i had a cooling fluid leak
the next day i fixt the leak and charged the battery and started it again
20min at 2500 for the cams to bed in
than switched it of again and let it cooldown for a night

next day i started it again , to see what the idle whould do
it staled emediatly

the reason was that i dismantled the throtlebody and i had tho adjust the butterfly a bit , now it idle's at 1000rpm and 900rpm

i'v done the first miles and it runs verry wel , i'v not driven it hard just taking it easy and run it in for a few 1000miles

i'm happy that it does what its supposed to do knowing i did it al by myself and i'm just a elektrician and never had a mecaniks training.
i'm verry pleased

Mk3 fezza More Door

just out of intrest are the rear spacers made for the mk3??

dj_yd

no , there for a puma , fiesta mk4, mk5 and focus mk1

dj_yd

a few weeks back i was doing the last running in miles on the 2.0 and than this happend
the back end lost traction and afte a few times trying to correct it i whent in the ditch :x
i had no injuries thats the good thing , but the fiesta is something else
this is how it looked like





the place off impact

the next day when i was over the first shock i started stripping it
the front suspention is al fine , also is the engine , maybe the left rear wheel is bent on the axel, i have to check later, the chassis is ok , only the body has a few big dents

dj_yd

i took the gearbox and engine out again
and i modyfied the radiator support so the st170 manifold has a little more room



the new support

before


after

dj_yd

the new support in


a new front pannel


and a new wing


the front back as it should be

dj_yd

and the last thing i did was removing the left rear, next is building it back up






test fit


greetz

xr2imetalhead

really impressed with your progress top marks. shame about the accident though you must have been gutted but well done for hanging in there and sorting out the damage !!!!

dj_yd

i will post the last updates on the fiesta
i got the inner wheelarch at the rear back in shape and i welded a new peace on the outside



and than welded a new Quarter panel on






all nice gaps







and because i couldn't find a quarter panel from a mk3,5 i had to chop it and weld a new peace in for the filler flap from a mk3,5


the correct peace for a mk3,5 fillerflap


where it should be


and the mk3,5 fillerflap in place






that's it for now

greetz

dj_yd

the body is primed, just sand it wet and than some imperial blue




greets

dj_yd

the last days i'v been bussy
i preped it all ready for paint
i made myself a "paintbooth" with some plastic and 2 filters , 1 drawing air out , the other one blowing fresh air in


in the back you see a clean filter
and then soe paint and clear


the strange lines you see is the plastic reflecting
and the filter did his job




the wheelarches from the bodykit

the boothlid

and the enginebay back in frozen white


there is a little bit of dust here and there , all in the clearcoat, so i can pollish it out

the bumpers , spoiler and the middle section from the bodykit are next

grtz

dj_yd

i now have everything painted , only the sideskirt from the kit to go.
the spoiler had some cracks in the paint, so some new paint


there was a crack in the rear bumper, at the hole where the toweye sits, i did some plasticwelding and its all good now


the front bumper is "total loss" , a new one in place


the filler hole cover painted


the rear build back up


and this weekend i got the engine back in and running nice
a new rad


a nice engine bay


a few things to do, i have to source e new rear axle and some small details to go

dj_yd

i got a new rear axle on and a new wheelhub and the wheel is going in the correct direction

she's back on the road now
from this a few months back



to this now







it needs a good clean and pollish but i'm happy with it

grtz

Glad you got it repaired, looks good man!

dj_yd

it has been a long time that i updated this topic
so here we go
i orderd a megasquirt kit in the usa and started building it, I also made a ford EECIV to megasquirt adaptor so that i didn't need to cut the original loom and make the megasquirt plug and play.
this is the circuitboard that i made(ignore the EECV on the board)


drilled the holes


i ripped a old EECIV in peaces for the EECIV 60pin connector and mounted it to the circuitboard that i made


it fits in the ford ecu case


the megasquirt loom to the adapterboard


ready

dj_yd

the megasquirt ecu i build

2 coil drivers for ford wasted spark coil
36-1 triggerwheel with VR sensor at the stock place
ford mondeo 225cc injectors
stock tempsensors for coolant and manifold air
modified circuit for stock ford idlevalve
MAP sensor on the ecu
extra driver circuit to drive the tach from the ecu
the megasquirt 2


the botem , the map sensor in the left corner


fully build
