thanks mate. its got a long way to go yet.. but i will get there .

thanks steven

 

Just don't do what you did with the last car, a wheel nut away from completion and then break it

 

thats the thing you never no with me lol.

no plans to sell this one dude ......


thanks steven

 

That's awesome, nice to see yours and MK's Fiesta battling it out on track

 

When will it be making it's first outing?

 

at the moment your guess is as good as mine

i cant see it being out this year, its march now could be may /june time before its comeing home for paint . i do have all parts to build it with apart from a few very small things, i need fuel pipeing and brake pipeing ect , and a loom made to link the dash to the ecu .and a few engine bay tank, the tanks will have to be made when every thing else is in place.

all the paint work will be done at nights and the odd day off, in and around my own job. i work nights to a body repair man so if i do all the prep work it will save me money . again i have all the paint ect needed for the job.

ideal i want it finished by end of year and have all running in problems sorted out for start of next year .

thanks steven

 

marc fiesta is class, cant wate to mine is as far on in the build stage .

thanks steven

 

Good luck with the rest of the project

I hope your motivation stays strong

 

coming along nicely

 

awesome stuff

 

Domanic and the mc neill team have been workin a bit on my car , in between there other work .

eamon has been hard at it setting up the rear suspenion , sorting out the bump stear ect . It took 2 days to sort the rear , the pick up points on the cradle needed a small modd .
they take measure ments on the suspenion travel for every inch up and down , so it takes time

i just need mk motorsport now to make me the longer link bars for my rear as the fiesta is wider than a wrc escort and the rose joints are screwed out that far theres not enough thread in the bar left .

nice clean speed line fitted

Looking awesome steven

 

Working quick there mate

 

Awesome

 

thanks ronnie, it takes time pal.

is your car all ready for this year ?

thanks steven

 

its getting there it just takes time when almost every thing has to be custom fitted .

the parts and materials came to make the exhaust system . so as soon as the engine mounts have been made and its bolted in place they can get on with makeing it up. theres not much room in the tunnel with the gear box and the prop .

i need the seats to come before we can get the peddal box mounted .i will need to be there to get seat position right and peddals in the correct place .

thanks steven

 

thanks for the kind words dude. its nice when people enjoy the progress .

i love getting into domanics work shop just to see the changes to my car and to see the other cars he works on .

hope to have more up dates next weekend

thanks steven

 

called with domanic and the lads today to have a little look see at my toy. but went with out my camera will get photos next week when i call again.

the rear suspenion is now fully fitted , rear diff ect , the drive shafts are bolted up to the wheel side wateing on spacers to be made for the inner diff side .

doors are now fitted to get the gaps correct so that the front wings can be fitted . eamon is going to cut the inner skin out of the doors to make them light and remove the safety bars out of them also , there will only be enough metal left and no more to mount the electric window motors as i want to keep them .

the rear bumber was sitting so i think its next on his list .

the engine is also in its proper place so they are starting to make my exhaust .

more up dates and photos soon.

thanks steven

 

sounds good, they dont seem to be hangin about this time,
lookin forward to seein the exhaust

 

i mate they are workin at it at some point each week. domanic has the parts ordered to make the stearing colum up , my peddal box is there and so is my seats . martin was looking me to bring the scuttle pannel up for arcoss the windscreen so he can get the bonnet fitted and lined up ect .
almost every part is there now apart from a few small things here and there .
gerard is looking into sorting a loom for it soon.

each week should make a change for me with it now i hope .

what you up to, thats great weather this week.

thanks steven

 

It will be worth the wait I'm sure.

It is pretty much done. Picking it up from Motorsport developments next week. It's had some much needed goodies fitted by them.

Then need to find tyres as r888's are a bit hard to get hold of at the moment

 

its moving along nicely steven ,will be a stunner mate

thanks steven
