Time for an overhaul

 

So plan was freshen her up and buy a few bits 2.5k later
lots of stainless/chrome parts for engine
stg3 hybrid turbo
ap 4 paddle clutch
airtec front mount intercooler
pace radiator
full samco kit
90 spec recaro seats
4 ford racing gauges with rs turbo engraved holder
steering column gauge holder
tv/dvd player
power engineering rocker cover
bailey header tank
chipped ecu then found out mine was already chipped
new timing belt
new water pump
b&m quickshift
chrome fiesta turbo style charge carrier not pictured as ive just bought it

 

After fitting the timing belt and water pump the other day im currently waiting on waterpipes for my new turbo so i can bolt her on and put everything together.
The plan is to fit all the parts get her machine polished,take some photos send them to fast ford and try to get a feature.
I will update the thread as and when i get a chance im away offshore this friday so the thought of spending chritmas on a rig isnt helping me lol

 

Looks like an interesting project

Power wise though if you're running a gt28 setup on an FRS engine you should be easily able to get a reliable 330bhp odd if you wanted

 

oh well even better then mate cheers for that

 

3 words ryan "the dogs bollox" love this pick up . real stunner mate keep up the good work

 

wheels suit it so well

 

thats a sexy car, love the colour combo

 

cheers man im obviously not the only person that thinks its cool how you getting on with your survival course etc

 

yeah the black with the blue looks well nice eh mate cheers

 

thats the worrying thing mate im thinking of sticking on frs wheels but i dont want to ruin the look these wheels have by whipping them off

 

slowly mate still waiting to hear . on a good note ive just applied to Qserv in yarmouth they got a good few jobs going so fingers crossed.

keep the escos wheels mate they go well on it

 

yeah that would be good mate i had qserv on the phone last week trying to get me back but im happy enough where i am for now lol
yeah the cos wheels look the business but im gonna have to find a decent brake setup to fit underneath them

 

its alright for some beating them off lol.

im sure you would be able to get some good breaks under them

 

ha ha ul b the same in a couple of years mate trust me
il have to look into brakes for it nearer the time of fitting it

 

mate id be happy with just any job offshore lol

ill ask my mate what breaks hes got on his rst . he has got escos wheels and some kind of big break kit ill find out for ya

 

that would be perfect bud cheers

 

wikid project

loving the pick up big style

 

cheers mate just gives me more inspiration to make it better and madder lol

 

good work fella going to be well nice when done.

 

yeah hope so mate its gonna cost me a few pennies to finish lol

 

well worth it when done

 

yeah i know for a fact il just have problems with the cvh engine and ive owned a focus rs before so i know the engine is good and quick out the box

 

"you can do it" lmao

hope to see it at some show etc wanna see it in person

 

depends on how long it takes could have it finished for summer fingers crossed mate

 

Absolutly stunning

 

chop chop lol

 

My mate built that car , i always thought it looked great

Paul

Benni.

it will get better slowly but surely

 

looking good mate

 

Cheers bud just wish the postie would fire on with my new bits so i can get more done before i go away on friday

 

incredible. love it

 

nice one mate. I know a guy who built two of these. What does it look like under the tarp, is the bed useable?

 

That looks the nuts mate


Brian

 

its woodlined underneath the cover which has been painted black and fully sealed to prevent any leaks and yeah the bed is useable i got a call one day when i was at my garage from a courier company guy saying he was waiting at my house with a package for me so i went home where he handed me over a large box which contained my new intercooler so i tried to fit it in the passenger seat but struggled and then i thought DUH wait a minute youve got a pickup so i just launched it in the back lol its quite useful

 

sweet, love it on the es cos rims.... whats it like to drive? does it feel safe!

 

glad you like it mate its just as sturdy as any rs turbo lol i thought after owning a few escort cabs that it would feel as flimsy but its not at all its comfy to drive and handles very good
