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?

focus 4x4

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

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

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

focus 4x4

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

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

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

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

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

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

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

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

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

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
