The ka (g-ay project)
 
After having few ford mk1/mk2 fez's rs2000. Then i wanted something differnt so the plan was to build ka rs turbo but this came up on ebay and thought it would save abit of time and effort but now wish i did it myself
anyway its useless with out pics so here it goes

at ford fair then started having few probs :tiff:

but first colour coded the bumpers anyways :banana:
a m8 put the powerd by fairy dust sticker on the back but guess kinda added to the sleeper look :oops:

then it was time for a top end rebuild as cam/followers oil stem seals were fooked :X so at same i decided to upgrade clutch and fix couple of problems that were annoying me :fume:

head all on etc anyway skip few months and car was annoying me again with yet more little problems so decided to take off the road and finish it properly

plans over next 6 month
fit rollcage mk6 fiesta dash as ka 1 hurts my eyes upgrade brakes and other bits and bobs,
il try keep updated but annoying to remember to take pictures all the time and they all i got :)

but the sooner i get this done the quicker i can crack onto restoring my s1 :tiff:
