Beautiful.

 

shouldnt , the tanks baffled and has a breather on top so dont see any issues ,
and the pump feeds from the rear of the tank so under acceleration fuel runs towards it even if theres only one litre in it

 

Finished and tested your brake master loom tonight Cutch

wow!!! absolutely stunning mate, well done, a real credit to u. must be nice to own it again.

 

Wow, the attention to detail on this is superb! hat's off to you mate!

 

Excellent job mate, been watching this thread for quite a while now. Really impressed with all the effort that's gone into this. Plus the end result, a 380bhp s1 Cossie! Awsome

Quick question, what are you doing for a cover over the heater blower mate, I'm having a bit of a mare with mine. Saying that my blower looks about an inch or more higher than yours. Have you shortened the arms on the wipers (the ones that point down, not the one that joins the 2 together) I've had to take 20mm out of mine just to clear the plug on top of the blowers.

I am going to manufacture a cover later on but for now nothing, my wiper arms are fine above the blowers, they dont touch, I had to bend them slightly behind the motor mount though but thats it.

 

We used the s1 motor and a combination of cossie and s1 arms on doberman1234's mk3 conversion

 

.


Thats what i've had to do, i had another look after my last post and I've defo fitted the floor etc higher up in the car, my strut tops are a good inch higher than Cutch's. I started dismattling the the blower so i can make a cardboard template cover, goona be a tight fit :-(

Do you know if doberman has pics of his on his thread???



Ginger



P.S. Cars look amazing Cutch



.

 

cutch, Absolutely stunning. crackle black, with black hoses, (purposefull) just like my escos engine bay will be when i start my mods.

 

unbelievable build , the quality of workman ship is second to none and my god you have the patience of a saint!

 

Right finally got back onto the car today after having to go into hospital to get my knee operated on! Not a nice experience but it seems to be fixed...



Started puting the interior into the car, got the carpet in and cut the middle section out to make it fit!



Put the rear seat in and seat belts



And i could only get the passenger side in as I can only find that sides modified runners!



Now I am missing interior C pillars, B pillars are broken, interior door sills, and inside window scrapers.

 

Bloody hell Cutch what you been doing to yourself?
Hope your knee heals quick

 

All I can say is wow, looks the nuts

 

Dave, torn cartilage, and somthing else, sorted now, i hope, my new bike arrives tomorrow so looking forward to a spin!

Andy, cheers

 

Will was telling me about this car earlier in the week, glad he did as the build has been great and the finished article is a superb one.

Credit to everybody involved

 

Well thanks to RSmatt for sending me some hose and Carlo for offering too i managed to get my breather done,

Made up a template for the bracket,



Cut out and painted up,



On inner wing



Breather on with hoses, the one ontop of the rocker cover is going to be replaced with one from Roose so that i get a nice 90 deg bend in it and the correct id at both ends. But the one i was struggling with was fixed with Matts donation!



Strut brace lying ontop,



Now going out to do the heatshield.

 

Looks awesome, but is that a bit of a kink in the rocker breather? Best get a screw in 90 deg. bend adapter on there to make the most of it

 

You should have a look at your own brake pipes first...lol

Love this escort keep up the good work !

 

yes mate, i wrote above the pic that i am getting one made up with a 90 deg in it, going to have roose? make me one for my petrol tank, intercooler with dump valve and the rocker cover breather. just put it on to see it on

 

Haha I have now

Nice one Cutch!

 

Looking good Cutch
its all progress

 

Heatshield template made,



And after god knows how many times in and out!



Think i did ok for my first time!



And now my engine bay should be nearly finished...



Tomorrow sort out something on the wipers, prime the power steering and bolt down the fuse box.

 

Cutch this car is a credit to everyone involved. I love it. Well done

 

You know once you have finished your going to get really bored with it after a few weeks ..........................































Then you may want to swap it for a 3 door ???

Bloody great effort and a work of art,id love to have this sitting in my garage

 

Engine bay looks immaculate, job well done. Now go give it some intended abuse!
