no bother at all mate,nowt like a bit of north/south slanging match.
small update,ive been having problems with the electrics on the car,the reverse lights where coming on as soon as ignition was switched on,and all the rear lights where flashing when the indicators where switched on,the front lights weren't playing ball either,mike came round and pulled me out of the shit again,had it sussed in minutes,im not going to tell you what was wrong with the rear lights
I bought brand new front lights years ago and when they where switch on the n/s worked fine but the o/s one was wired up wrong inside the light unit,so the harness from the old light was swapped over and now alls well,thanks for your help today mate.
mike also turned up with some QC stickers for the finishing touch


painted up the jack cover but im not keen,anyone got one for sale?

car very nearly ready for the road,got to pick the dash up on Friday,fit the rear lower spoiler and install the gauges.

 

And on the road.................................... would be great if you did and stuck it on the FAST FORD Stand at Ford Fair

 

I had a trimmer cover my jack cover in grey leather

 

Nice idea,any pics?

 

Cracking build mate, just read from start to finish.
A nice reference point for anyone trying to do it right.
Can't wait to read your impressions after getting the wheels turning.
Cheers
Iain

 

All for a good cause, if its spending a Sunday afternoon on this or our lass, E120 wins hand down every time

Looks stunning mate really, you should be proud

 

 

couple more small jobs done,sourced some new bulbs for the speedo/rev counter dials:


new cigarette lighter:

new wiper arm nut covers:

went to collect the dash and the A pillar trims from the trimmer,only came away with the A pillar trims as I wasn't happy with the dash so that needs re-done

boost gauge installed:

finally got round to fitting the lower boot spoiler,ive been waiting to fit this for a long time but ive been waiting for a nice warm day
warming up the tape on the clue:

and fitted:

 

Perfect mate..

 

Getting there now Jeff

 

will be pretty much done once the dash is back but heard today he might be going away for a bit
pretty much spent the day cleaning up the interior plastics and the parcel shelf,boot carpet.



new wheel nuts and centre caps fitted.

pic I forgot to post once the wiper arms had been painted.

QC stickers.


engine bay finished.

looking for a handle for the boot carpet if anyone has one

 

Its getting there now Jeff. So what was the problem with the back light? Did you have to electrical plug on the wrong way round.

 

Yes mate,the plug on the back lights was upside down
Every other plug in the car can fit only one way apart from the rear lights.
Also the brake light switch needed adjusted as it was keeping the brake lights on all the time.

 

Looking great Jeff stunner, all the hard work paying off

 

Mine was the same when i drove it back from Gaz.s when he did the bodywork. Lol. A bit of a poor design.

 

It is mate I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now,just need the dash back,adjust the coilovers on the front and fit the gauges,got a bit wiring to do at the weekend and a little work on the centre consol and I'm about done.

Thing is glenn the way the wires we're bent i could have sworn it was right but it wasn't lol.

 

Bloody hell mate this has come on shitloads since last time I looked on here. Looking spot on now, cant wait to see it out and about

 

itll be on the road early next year,will probably be at Cumbria and croft if you want o have a look round it

 

Just read this from the start over 2 days,that is absolutely stunning and a credit to you

 

Cheers John, I'm glad it's nearly done,would hate to do it again

 

Who did you get your centre push bearing off also do you know if it's capable of running heavy clutches. I mocked my box up today with my old block in place and the external slave. The thing is so close to the floor it barely fits. So centre push it is

 

I bought it off mk motorsport years ago,I think people have had trouble in the past with these and heavy covers but I think the bearings were to blame,i know Martin@reyland has had no issues with his.
I'm just using a standard cover for now,but I'll not hesitate to put a heavy cover on if need be.
Those cylinders do sit close to the floor you can mod the tunnel for more room if your happy to hammer the floor,which i wasn't.

 

Thats my second option but I don't fancy hammering the Fook out of it lol it's a bodge. I'll chat to Martin and burton tomorrow and see what they say

 

What did you buy off me

 

I bought the centre push hydraulic clutch you advertised some years ago.

 

It wasent made by me

 

I know, it states its a reyland one in you ad.

 

but you said people had issuses with mine and i havent made any

 

Mark I didn't say people had issues with yours,it's with centre push in general, I remember a thread saying he had replaced the bearing on three occasions then changed to external slave because of the problems he was having,nothing at all to do with you or anything you sold.
As far as I'm aware the one i bought off you is working fine,but I've only been able to drive the car a couple of metres.

 

couple of jobs done today,got the launch control and anti-lag switches wired in:

the rubber around the hand brake was torn so made up some new ones while the consol was in bits.


seat rail covers fitted:

also got round to adjusting the coilovers,would prefer to have it a little lower on the front but the spring would be too loose.

still waiting on the dash,hopefully be done by next weekend.

 

Looks great, for me i'd have the cam cover finished in red..

 

looks perfect to me

 

Looking good jeff

 

Cheers Jon, it's it's been a long five years but it's nearly there now

 

I bet it has jeff but it's gonna be worth it. Look forward to seeing it next year at the ford fair if your going?

 

With any luck I'll be there,but unsure if I'll be taking the cozzy.

 

The switches look nice and neat.

 

I've just sat here for the last 5 hours reading the thread from the very beginning!
It's an awesome project and a real credit to you mate not a lot left to finish now!

 

Thanks Matt, and sorry you've lost five hours of your life that you'll never get back

 

Tbh I really enjoied it other than the spec r issues! It's helped me want to get finished off, not that they are ever finished!!!! Lol
