HI ALL, I'M NEW TO PASSION FORD, THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TIME I GOT ON HERE, HERES SOME PICS OF MY RWD MK4 SHELL I STARTED LAST AUGUST, HOPE YOU ENJOY . . . . .

 

that looks like it's going to be a stunner.

what manifold have you got for the turbo?

 

i got a top mount 200sx s13 manifold, and got a laser cut zetec flange, alot of welding and cutting work, but well worth it!

 

Damn!!!!!!! now that is awesome l looked at the 1st pic and thought it was scrap well done for buildin it

 

is that a CA18 one?

 

looking nice i thought the same when i saw first pic

 

yeh the ca18 manifold, the port spacing was a little out but nothing that couldn't be modded

Thanks for the positive comments

 

That thing was more rust than metal!

Proof you can polish a turd.

 

to be honest youv'e sold youself short with the photos. that shell was alot worse than the photos show. thats an absolute blinding job and so little time youv'e done it in.

Brilliant mate, please up date this regulary and with plenty of pics

 

nice work mate

 

Great work dude, but please get rid of that seriously gay "bad boy bonnet"

A standard bonnet would be cool, sleeper!

 

never fear, i got a nice fibreglass one down the paint shop with it now

 

Here's a few more pics i managed to salvage from my old laptop. . .

 

Nice toy. It looks like its had plenty of work done to the shell.

 

it was started august 2010, and every hour i've managed to get free has gone on this car, its at the paint shop now, so about 15 months, alot of work has gone into this shell, had plenty of fun making dot to dots out of weld burns on my arms!!!!

Thanks all for comments, will have more pics soon

 

Looks great mate! What colour you gona go for?

Welcome by the way

 

Thanks for the welcome, its going to be gloss black, just the fact i haven't owned a mk4 in that colour yet! Stealthy lookin sleeper!!

 

Here's a few more pics, haven't got any recent ones yet with paint on, but promise i will have very soon!!!

 

keep it up, think i will be starting a zt kit car, maybe 1 day, just a dream at mo.

 

good project

 

coming together now mate what colour have you gone for.

 

Gone for standard rs black, the donor car was black so to save messing around with log book really, just getting the cash together to get the motor built up over xmas!!!!!

 

Great build

 

MMMMmmmmmmmm nice shiny xmas pressies, retro ford alternator mount kit and a flywheel for the zetec to take cossie t5 box and will enable me to use cossie clutches.

 

Very nice ,looks like that shell had a hard life before you got it ,love the holes cut in the doors ,did you use hole cutter on drill for that

 

It had a very hard life, was beyond rotten! Yeh i used a 50mm hole cutter on a drill and bought a 50mm hole swager off ebay to curve the lips in to put abit of strength back into the steel, wherever i think i can get away with a hole i will!!

 

Looking good. Keep the pics coming.

 

great work

 

Awesome

 

i love it mate keep at it and keep puttin the photos up of the build

 

Cheers for all the comments guys, helps give me more motivation than i already got lol, had a few issues with the shell its back down the paint shop for the christmas period so will have a lot more photos coming soon!!!! Just hoarding parts for the engine build at the moment . . . . .

 

take it your useing mk2 escort stearing rack? are you useing stearing arm extensions and longer bottom arms.
had to on my Rwd mk4, what length Atlas axle are useing , looking good luvit

 

Yeh using a mk2 quick rack, not using any longer or extended pieces, i got a world cup cross member and the chassis rails are at same width as a mk2, so everything is mk2 geometry, just using wheel spacers to bring the track upto the same as a mk4, using a capri 52" atlas for the rear, cheers for the comment

 

wow. things like this make me feel innadequat! glad your losing the bonnet, thats far too much skill/engineering prowess for something as pony as that. clever guy, keep updating mate

 

Cheers for the positive comment, dont feel inadequate matey, things like this didnt happen over night, i was always told i would never do it and that gave me the drive to do it and prove them all wrong, keep an eye on the project will be updating abit this week!

 

Mmmmmmm Shiny shiny engine parts ready for engine build
