many thanks steven

steven mc kay

im busy finishing off my own garage ,as the work situation is poor tbh mate.

what colour you painting it steve ,or is it a secret lol?

MikeR

Looks great, what is the approx cost of a shell like this if you don't mind saying?

Mike

rs_traynor

that cage is crazy

steven mc kay

hope work picks up for you soon james , no there no secret in the colour mate i am painting it frozen white , my wife and me had a mk2 rs focus in frozen white and i loved the colour . it will be white inside and out .

thanks steven

steven mc kay

if your interested in a price for one mike i think it best to ask gordon vincent i can give you his number , let me no if you want it, you can tell him steven mc kay gave you it. ( hes a real gent mike to deal with )

many thanks steven

steven mc kay

the welding is first class . the shells weigth is now a lot lot less even with the cage ect fitted than it was before it went in, the complete shell is taken apart and all metal not needed is cut away . gordon made a joke when i collected it saying there only enought metal left to keep me dry
he told me both weights but i forget .

thanks steven

cant wait till see it done steven, you not think of doing time attack in it steven?

steven mc kay

hi andy.. never thought about any thing like that, time attack means lots of travel to england ect . the cost of that would be great . a trip to england with van and trailer fuel, boat, and time of work ect is betweek 2 and 3 grand of a cost and loss in wages to me .

i will stick to , all track days, track days and marshel days were engine class dont matter ,

the car is being built to full rally car spec and rulls so a engine swap to a wrc spec engine means i can rally it like sean rallys his

thanks steven

Brian

Little bit of a update .

domanic and the mc neill team have started a little work on the car .

rear quarters are temp fitted with small screws to every thing gets lined up, then they will be bonded on .
This image has been resized. Click here to view the full image. The original image is sized 1024x768.
gear box, front diff, engine and front x member are sitting in place so over the weekend domanic hopes to sort the engine mounts as the ones from escort are to short the engine will be 15 to 20 mm lower than in the photo .

This image has been resized. Click here to view the full image. The original image is sized 1024x768.
rear cradle has been bolted up and the rear diff. The rear link bars are to short as the fiesta is much wider so once i have the size for the link bars mark from mk motorsport wll make me longer ones .
This image has been resized. Click here to view the full image. The original image is sized 1024x768.
we need the prop made shorter so we can get it fitted so we can see what room we have for the exhaust . Domanic is thinking on mabie spliting the exhaust into twin 2.5inch pipes so it can run down past both side of the prop , we will wate and see , the rear box will be quite large as there is only one box in the system, it will sit across the boot floor its the same exhaust as ran on tommy grahams rally x car , even with it being a one box system its under 98db on high boost .

more up dates to follow soon i hope .

some parts sorted to

mk motor sport bladed anti roll bar kit, drop links blades ect
mk motor sport air injector bracket

tilton floor mounted peddal box ( brakes)

pro alloy fuel cell and swirl pot

thanks steven

Some expensive parts going onto this build, look forward to seeing it done.

steven mc kay

i will be happy if its ready this time next year lol

thanks steven

steven mc kay

hello

diff is a 7.5inch ffd, i would have liked a 8.5inch but the cost was alot more , and for what the car will be used for i think the 7.5 will be fine ( well i hope it will )

thanks steven
