Looking fantastic Jeff

Brought a big smile , and little tear to our lasses face

Cant wait to see it finished

Paul

 

Fresh!

 

thanks for the kind word lads:made another gasket for the steering bearing as i wasnt happy with the paper one:


and fitted along with the master cylinder for the clutch:


fitted new vapour barrier to the doors and re-fitted the door cards


gear lever surround and new gaitor fitted and a set of very good side repeaters kindly donated by saphcos mike


also had the exhaust manifold blasted,came out nice i think.

 

Looking good matey.

 

Always enjoy watching the shiney bits getting bolted on

 

Awesome Jeff, I don't suppose you fancy knocking up a spacer for the clutch and the steering bearing, I'll pay of course, if you have time no bother if not pal

 

Chris by spacer do you mean strengthening plate?
I only used a strengthening plate for master cylinder not the bearing, ill knock you up one at the weekend and get back to you.

 

Yes mate that's spot on, pm me your number I can't have saved it in the new phone

 

Pm sent mate.

 

it'll be posted this week mate,nice talking to you today


headlining now back in,thanks to saphcos mike for his help with this one



sunroof slide needs a good clean now

No bother Jeff, not that I done much

Yes please mate, when ever you're ready

 

Stunning headlining.

 

Top work jeff, this will be a belter when your finished with it

 

Cheers glenn im very happy the way it turned out

Cheers mate,hopefully be down to see you for a steering rack for it before the new year.

 

Bloody hell, Mikes got some competition here absolutely stunning, on another level completely

 

No probs mate, looking forward to see you finish it and get it on the road.

 

Kind words mate but im sure mike would be the clear winner,after all mike has a cleaner brake fluid resevoir lol!

Me too mate its been a long time coming.

 

Todays work, one brake pipe thanks to mike for that.

 

Anymore been done matey?

 

Rack's just been picked up Jeff mate, missed you yesterday I was having a day off lol.

 

not a lot to be honest mate,mikes done a couple more brake pipes for me since I last up-dated,only one more to do,they'll look nice once painted up and clipped in.

the cars back on axle stands,needs a good clean under there,still covered in dust from the body shop.



and as stephen says below ive dropped off the steering rack to be re-furbished which should be back soon.

a day off how did you manage that,i thought they where slave drivers down there lol!

 

Looking good Jeff, will it be out next year?

Is there somewhere local that does steering racks? I was about to bin mine and buy a new one

 

I hope so adam all depends on the money really.
Dont throw out your rack mate just take it to your local motorists discount store and they wil sort the re-furb for you.

 

Looking good matey. Will you be painting the brake pipes green.

 

Top work mate!

 

Yes glenn, I want them to look as close to the original colour as possible.

Cheers matey.

 

Just read the whole thread, top work fella it's looking mega.

 

where can i get one of these steering bearings they where on ebay a while ago but cant find them anymore?

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UCFL-Metri...item4aaaf9d70f
select the 25mm one from the drop down menu.

 

I think I've still got some off the colour for them if there the same colour as the escort cosworth ones ?

Al have a look as I' still should still have the colour for the bolts too (blue) if it's there your welcome to it if you want it ?

 

thank you jeff

 

Good progress m8

 

I think I already have the paint sorted mate but thanks for the offer, what was the colour you used on yours?

no problem mate.

 

just been trying to get a couple of small jobs done while the weathers bad.
painted the calipers:


and put the sliders together for the 4x4rear brakes.

 

I'll have a look next time I'm down at my mum n dad's garage

 

thought id do a small update:
got the steering rack back a couple of weeks ago but wasn't 100% with the way they slapped the paint on so stripped it all off and re-done it.
how it was returned to me,with new hard pipes fitted


rubbed down:

etch primed:

and painted:

also changed the rear crank seal and spigot bearing:

flywheel ready to be bolted on along with new ap six paddle:

 

So you got the clutch, did you get the full kit or plate and standard cover?

 

Jeff car looks the bollox mate one question tho any idea when I can get a pair of inner glass rubbers for the front and bk screen

 

Looking like a real top job

Is there a way of lining up the mast cylinder for the clutch peddle Jeff ?
