Top work your doing there.Nice looking clutch.Would be a shame to put the gearbox back in so you cant see it... lol.

Shilly

I was saying that on another forum looks good but only time I'll see it again is when I'm replacing it lol

gjh

Making great progress here, top job

Shilly

Cheers shortly my new job will let me make my own parts then it should start seeing some progress with bits bolted on

lanfire

All looking good pal, make me wana start messing with my motor again

Shilly

every time i look at mine i see something else ive killed on it that needs replacing so i think upgrade lol

Shilly

Sex toys and cv boots turned up



Also ordered a set of powerflex rear beam bushes

gjh

LOL!!! Changed the CV boot on my mk4 recently, was a pain, used a universal part, which I reckon was universally made to fit fuck all!! It was way to loose, plenty of cable ties there now though, it won't go anywhere for a while!

Focusinprogress

coming along well, I've enjoyed the read! definitely interested to see the supercharger installed!

Shilly

yeah i got an actual fitted cv boot aswell i just ordered that off ebay for the sex toy so i can install it tbh it does look quite similar to the fitted one but doubt it will fit anything lol

Just put some tape over the light lol.That ford hot rod is mint.

Shilly

Ill just turn it off before the mot lol
Yeah it was mint apart from the 2 spoke Boyd coddington wheels it was running apart from that it was amazing rad was run under the hood so you could see the front of the motor the sides where open and all the motor was chrome with purple anodised components

Shilly

Old fecked one



The offending article with tool snapped in it



And the new one in jobs a gooden

BurrisYT

how much roughly to convert a 1.25 to a 1.6? just wondering mate and will i need to change anything else?

Shilly

Engines are about 350-500 quid ecu are about 100-200 then it's about 100 to get the ecu coded to your keys and I usually charge 200 for fitting then the 100 for key programming

I do recommend a clutch change and a service when it's all out

Shilly

Some new ht leads

gjh

Looking good, lo=ike the look of that hot rod.

Shilly

It was nice minus the 3 spoke chrome wheels

papworth66

Shilly

I had all the bits to do it but my circumstances changed so I needed to keep the car reliable as possible
