Not done much today as when i got time to do some it pist it down
Any way in the week i had Dave round for a bit of help as things were not going well with the moking up but 2 hours later it was all on and we had good gaps on the doors wings and the bonnet all the stuff will be going in the bin as the doors are rotten and the wings all so . The bonnet is OK any way its all coverd up now for two weeks as we go on holiday tomorrow

And a BIG THANKS to Dave/whizzisat114 for your help mate

 

No prob's Ian have a nice break and get that car finished when you get back!!

 

Like the wiper mechanism idea! but is it me or is the drivers side wiper now in a lower postition ? will the plastic scuttle panel fit ok over the top?

 

Forget that lol .... ive just worked out what youve done! thats a great idea! might do the same to mine lol

 

It should all be ok as its bolted in the same place all i did pull the shafts out that the wipers arm gose on to and turn them over 180 degrees there is a small bit of moding that has to be done but no of if should ulter were it comes out of the plastic scuttle panel

 

Simple but genius! defo gonna make mine up in the same way. cos the way ive done mine looks as weak as piss! lol

 

These might help i will get some more photos and sizes of it of the car when im of holiday

 

Lookin good ian keep it up aan have a good holiday bud an ill catch up with ya when ya get bk mate

 

nice little mod there ian makes more sense with the diagram

 

agree andy lol ,


couldnt make sense of what he had done till the diagram appeared lol


good work fella






beef

 

Why did you need to cut out that section for the wiper motor? Why didn't you just raise the arm on spacers?

 

Iv just got back off holiday and iv got to go and work away this week so come the weekend i will take some more photos of how and wot i had to do to get it to fit

 

Did you have a nice time away Ian?

 

FAB mate . And now i get a week of from the wife as im working away this week

 

glade you had a good time mate ,i got 2 wiper motors to mod not had chance yet but the pics will help

 

I hope these photos help any one doing a focus cosworth

 

Iv started welding in the brackits in for the intercooler and rad i have had some advice of some lads and im not putting them were every one else i made my mind up and im pushing it forward and im very happy with were it is now i no the standard pipes will not fit straight on but thats not hard to sort out so it were i wont it now and im happy .

And thanks to Dave for the loan of the intercooler and rad and for making the brackets for me

 

would it be possible to remove the centre section of the cross member and back a thinner one to allow more air to the intercooler?

its looking good though

 

i think you could be on to some thing there mate like this



But i dont no if it will help any with the WRC bumper im going to be using

 

no i mean cut the whole lot out and just have a bit of 2x2 welded into place, and then you could add a scoop into the bumper to direct the air flow upwards through the cooler

 

back on it then ian i did my wiper other day looks same. great idear

 

did you have to shorten the arm on the motor or was yours ok

 

Time for a trip to the breakers to get myself another wiper linkage to mod !!!

 

Iv been have a play tonight and this is wot iv been doing

First off i got 2. blanks of ally



First job flash one side up



Then after a bit of work i came up with this i still have one more to do then do the inside to fit the bearing



Iv all so been getting some bits togever for my bilstein 909 rear shocks . A Big thanks to Tony at TCS for sorting some of the parts for me

 

Are they eccentric top mounts your making Ian?
They look really good
